Discovering Hindu Bali - First Impressions

I arrived to Bali, Indonesia late last night. I had a long travel day to think about various business ideas and endeavors. One could argue that Bali is the most popular tourist destination on planet earth. When starting my trip Bali and Indonesia as a whole was not even on my radar. I wanted to avoid too touristy places and muslim countries. Indonesia does not recognize Israeli passports so I had moral qualms to even go to the country. After doing some of my own research into the history, culture and popularity of the place I decided to come. First thing that I had no idea until a three months ago is that Bali is 90% Hindu. Since I loved Nepal and Hindu culture this really enticed me. There was early Indian influence in Bali from the 1st to the 5th century and powerful Hindu kingdoms were established here later on. Also, Balinese culture and Hinduism is unique. They have their own language, traditional dress, and architecture. Aside from the unique culture Bali is most well known for the party scene and surfing. Since I am retired from partying I will be avoiding the party trap. I started off my Bali experience in a town called Ubud. Ubud is know for the traditional spiritual hub of Bali. Driving in late at night I already saw many temples and Hindu sculptures. I have been here less than 8 hours, only 2 of them have I been awake, and it already feels quite peaceful and unique. I need to go explore the town some. While in Ubud I look forward to hitting the gym, sauna, cold plunge, getting some massages, experiencing the temples here, and seeing some nice nature.
