Arriving at Bali, Ngurah Rai Airport, Denpasar

Bali ~
The Island of God
The Island of Culture
The Island of Peace

Day 1 - Arriving at Bali, Ngurah Rai Airport, Denpasar
This is the statue of I Gusti Ngurah Rai, the National Hero of Indonesia from Bali.
The statue is located along the road leading into the airport area.
The airport in Bali is named after him and he appears in IDR 50,000 note too.
Read about his story from Wikipedia

Photo taken from inside the van while on the move.
I was immediately welcomed by the culture upon arriving at Bali.
The statue is white and gigantic. I still cant figure out the name 
of this statue yet. (oops!)

Along the road, there are hundreds if not thousands of motorbikes.
When I was in Beijing, it was bicycles. Here in Bali, it is motorbikes.
Kasena our tour guide, shared with us that an affordable motorbike costs 
around IDR 1.4mil

A long stretch of motobikes on the road.
