To President Kim Jung of North Korea From Erik Young Bangkok Thailand

==I have been robbed again by the GEFTAPO of Taiwan who use the name TIA.cia here in Bangkok. They are targetinmg me 24 hours a day and have sexually abused children and my partenrs ruining our lives. Please will The President of North Korea send some people eher to kill them. There is a group of about fifteen of them left here wandering around in Police Uniforms, MP Uniforms etc. Some have bleached skin and mousey brown hair colour they act in a very nervous style and seem to be drugged or desperate for a fix. Last time they caught up wityh me 13 of them surrounded me then handcuffed me and spent about three hours humiliating me with sexual remarks and previously they have spread allegations that I am a sexual abuser of children, one of their typically satanic lies. One of them is a very short woman with quite a dark complexion about fifty years of age and another a woman of about 40 years of age with long hair and pale skin. Every time they bother me they steal everything nbothing is ever returned and they always try to get money out of me using menaces. They use some corrupt policemen in the police station in Suan Plu next door to the immigration dept in Soi Suan Plu.I think they are connected to the killings of my two children 17 years ago. Please come here and kill them since the local; community does nothing to help. Many people ehere are on the IDs of people who have been killed then their IDs sold for between 1500 and 5000 baht by the GEFTAPO associates and others they use to launder money etc. They stole my daughter and forged documents they showed my wife, whom I bel;ieve they killed, papers they forged to make it look like I was a paedophile convicted in the UK. They used UK Police headed note paper to trick her into believing I was a paedophile and she never ever stayed with me again nor did I ever see my child again Regards Erik Young (Henry-Rasmussen-Fogh-Jellinek-Steinway-Einstein-Munch-Van Gogh- Gauguin-Da Vinci-Kennedy-Nesbitt + LVMH - Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton) UN Human Rights Ambassador Bangkok Thailand==

The Mafia In The Womb aka The TI.Cia Taiwan's Heroin/Casino/ADT Auctions and Security Laundry Mafia

This Is One Of Your Land Lord's Final Warnings

Did you know these crooks of Asia and the Heroin trade have murdered over 60 of Erik Young's friends? Where are my children? Where is my wife missing now for more than three years???? Where is my subsequent girlfriend missing now for more than two years??? Someone burn down that stupid ILLEGAL PROCEEDS green tower http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c9/Taipei101.portrait.altonthompson.jpg/250px-Taipei101.portrait.altonthompson.jpg In the event that the tenants do not vacate the building today 16th August 2009 then the Land Lords will charge a penalty of three times the rent already collected by the fraudulent and illegal rent collectors who have not been engaged by the Land Lords.

of theirs in Taipei built without permission of the genuine landlords.

Did you know some people from Taiwan were the arsonists who cause a fire in the Empire Tower Sathorn Road Bangkok Thailand Car Park/Generator area around 2003. Remember it was International news ? I think some of them work in the same building. Check Taiwan originating people and employers. They were trying to sabotage mr Erik Young and sam Evan's regional office for Easyspace Ltd. Do you know the people running around claiming to be Mr erik Young are part of the Heroin mafia ring of Taiwan and nothing to do with mr young's family? Well I tell you who does know, The POresident Of North Korea Kim Jong. He met the writer many years ago and the genuine Mervyn Young who your Taiwan Mafia murdered and other people that know our family. Where is my money and who keeps lying to my London Solicitors? People working for the Taiwan Heroin Mafia who have been ID thieves for thousands of years. They have deceived London Solicitors Irwin Mitchell of Holborn London who have not sent me any financial assistance for about two or three months leaving me to beg on the street. I am furious with the people of Taiwan.

Taiwan Mafia In Pattaya Poison Domestic Feline Cats with Radio Active Water

What are the Wynn's Wield Washers doimg in Pattaya ? Leaving water that is charged up like a fuel rod in cups around the street side for the local Siamese Steet cats to slurp up. Twenty Five Minutes later this Cat comes crashing into a steel door as 120 T MPH blasting electrons everywhere omn impact. Is this why they were evacuating feline cats from Macau to The algarve fifteen years ago. Seriously one Portugeuse cat lover was rescuing street cats and I wondered what the emergency was about?

THE CROOK REPORT Wynns Wield AXL Global manufacturer and marketer of chemical products, services equipment (chemical test tubes aka condoms) and related programs (that take the content to produce look a like test tube offspring?) So IF you are loading goods for the Wynn Casino Group who appear to be associated to funding terrorism worldwide to distract the law enforcement agencies and make their investigations more difficult to conclude. By causing conflict in the local market people will become depressed and it is easier to sell 'the product' (The Product is Taiwanese for HEROIN). At the same time we have the terrorists thinking we are their friends. "Lieft I thought you said Mr Wynn claims "Stan,we don't have any friends nobody likes your means of gaining. Does Mr Wynn still make Mycrosoft products?' "Shut up, someone's watching everything we do again and now they know we use a unique deaf/dumb sign language because the Royal Society For The Blind have confirmed this" "Uhhh? You said it they hear those grunts and graons and this is how they know who we are and what we are doing isn't right. We'll just tell them of course it isn't right we are comunists..hahahahah!" "Now where are the 44,000 children you stole from the Indian IT Generation to manipulate them to commit crime.... in the Mercure hotel?" "Ummm ...I can't remember..hahahaha" "Phone up The President of North Korea and ask him what he knows about Auntie-Gen." "I can't he won't help us anymore because he says that Auntie Gen was correct... She told Erik that if he needed to speak with her just give the operator the number and say it is a correct call. He says you've been dishonest about the Americans they are good people not meglomaniacs." "It was the Danish who bought up most of the planet because they don't like violence and its cheaper than a war and people quite liked their presence because they helped people." "He doesn't know that we were the "Umairicains" does he?" "You mean the Gestapo.....I can't remember..hahahaha" The Cook Report. The show is best remembered for Cook's trademark confrontations with his targets, complete with his camera crew, in which he would often get verbally and physically abused. The Cook Report ran regularly until 1998, where he and his film crew bit off more than they could chew trying to bust the 'black and white' cafe in Bristol UK for selling heroin; ending up in hospital after receiving a very bad beating.[citation needed] For the 21st Century we have moved on and The United Nations and its citizens will produce "THE CROOK REPORT" ...a full featured list of the World's worst people which looks to be HEROIN dealers top of the list Sophonpanich Sylvester Shinawatra for massive Heroin dealings corrupting politicians and murdering innocent children and women. Please send information concerning their hiring of the "Killing Fields of Cambodia Mobsters" who killed about 16 million people during the last 25 years. These gorillas are used to oversee their investments into Varadero in Cuba and anywhere else you know they have a presence to The United Nations in Geneva via www.un..org Considering their 4500 years record for stealing the IDs of other people it is wise to periodically audit these resort areas before extending credit card payment merchant facilities and secure payment gateways etc. It is the resort locations where people have been swapped for look a likes and their assets then plundered. Their worst influence upon young people is promoting Satanic Games including the game of raping girls. Wasn't Canary Wharf the place where Uncle Frederick planned to build a prison for educating riotors? Wynn "Why is Erik Young angry with us? I said finance the terraces not terrorism you twits." Regards Erik Young (Henry-Rasmussen-Fogh-Jellinek-Steinway-Einstein-Munch-Van Gogh- Gauguin-Da Vinci–Kennedy-Nesbitt + LVMH - Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton) UN Human Rights Ambassador Bangkok Thailand "Oh no what are we going to do? I told the President of North Korea what we have done.... I didn't know he had met Erik for the first time 40 years ago and lived in the same house where Erik's father was born?" "Well Mr Wynn,....We'll have to lie to him... hahahahaha!" From: "Erik Young" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Chairperson of WBC Leader of North Korea Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 00:01:00 -0500 Dear Woking Borough Council Please will you check the records of houses in Coley Avenue Woking Surrey to see if the present leader of North Korea may have originate from Woking Surrey UK. I think his family may have lived in the house Pendeen Coley Avenue or the other half next door I think the problems set down below illustrate there have been some very dangerous poisonous stories circulated by some group of Satanists. This may include defamatory inflammatory lies circulated to the Government of the USA about th Leader of North Korea and vice versa about former President(s) Bush of the USA and their predecessors causing a great deal of suffering for the people of North Korea. Coley Avenue is off Park Road and Heathside Road Woking GU22 UK Perhaps some fraudsters who gain wealth by generating conflict are the root cause of years of turmoil in The Middle East and between some of the Superpowers ? New Malden is a place that whispers suggestions that it is the orgin of Mr Thaksin Shinawatra former Thai Prime Minister, but it may also be the home of Taiwan Heroin Dealers who have stolen the IDs of Koreans who never returned from business trips to Asia ? They drink beer out oif straws in Korea perhaps the ID thieves have another style of drinking? Perhaps HoRucell Rise gives us a clue for one house there had Swallows in the eaves where the Brightman family lived. Do you think some Taiwanese thought they were very clever and tried to steal their minds and bodies? Do you think they tricked a young man from North Korea studying English at Brooklands College Weybridge. He knew that was where God has one of his homes, in Weybridge Surrey UK that's why they do not have a shopping centre. Horesell Rise is quite close to Inkerman Barracks.. The name Horo in Maori maybe the leader of North Korea may be from a Maori background. Whatever he isn't Satanic that is the hidden TI.Cia who have looted aboput fifty countries since 1946 and killed millions of families and their children using aluminium sulphate and poisonous gases and overdosed recreational designer drug/pills etc. Pleas refer any information you have directly to President Barack Hussein Obama II The Oval Office The Whitehouse 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington DC 20500 USA or email [email protected] Erik Young (Henry-Rasmussen-Fogh-Jellinek-Steinway-Einstein-Munch-Van Gogh- Gauguin-Da Vinci–Kennedy-Nesbitt + LVMH - Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton) UN Subject: Terrorists funded by Taiwan's Mafia government Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:07:50 -0500 Dear President Ma Ying-jeou Your State and ring of corrupt associates, started this campaign with your circle of crooked friends back in 1973 when Mervyn Frank Sheffield Young first appeared in South East Asia (aka The FA East) on business. Thus the L/C fraud followed by a series of "unfortunate accidents" both within his companies and to suppliers and clients including His Majesty The King Of Saudi Arabia assassinated the same wek mervyn Young had arrived in Riyhad to meet The King of Saudi Arabia whom I believe was the doing of your Satanic methods of doing business. totally unethical inhumane dishonest and corrupt. Did your Government/Mafia know about the death of Princess Diana before the 'arranged' car accident ? How many 'arrange accidents strategic business partnerships' have your Government/Mafia been associated with ? Were your predecessors ID thieves in China concerning Tax Collection that never reached Beijing? Did your Government/Mafia rob bank accounts of foreign business in Indonesia after Sukhano gained independence in the 1950s blaming Sukhano for these actions? What do you know about Escoduro and Tzcesar fraud in Spain Portugal and the cannary islands and other land title forged by signature upon sale elsewhere in the world.. Hawaii for instance ????? What is your "State's" connection to the illicit Class A Heroin trade? What connection does your illegal State of Taiwan have with the suppliers of Class a Illicit Narcotics that turned The Emporer of China's wife into a Heroin addict ? What is your sate's association concerning people who abduct the children of officials trying to prevent the illegal distribution of Heroin?

The Mafia In The Womb aka The TI.Cia

The TI.Cia were behind fitting up Roman Catholic Priests in the USA as paedophiles.

Did you know the TI.Cia have killed around 500 million people since 1936.. They make the deaths look like accidents with alum overdoses in food and water of old people that cause a Stroke.== Do you remember Walton Road Mr Thaksin Shinawatra ? The Kempe experiment of the Gestapo of WW2, you must know they lived in Woking since you lived in Heathside Road in the house next door to my grand mother. ? Ron Dennis of TAG Mclaren does not trust you and he knows I am publishing the truth. They steal children to use in prostituton.. They were behind the Kempe Children Experiment of WW2. Did you know they stole one of my children, Mercedes ? I have witnessed here in Thailand before my eyes about 36 cloned children used as an ongoing experiment on human beings by the TI.Cia. One of these individuals a young male had skin that bore the leopard fur patches seen on the Cheetah and Leopard cats. I am aware of the fact that the TI.Cia are Homo Sapiens Satan and NOT Homo Sapiens Human. They hide behind the false masks of claiming to be Islaamic or Christian or Jewish or Buddhist when they are not Human at all and incapable of following the teachings of any of these faiths. It is time for the world media to present these terrorists under their true identity and not the falsified IDs they assume to commit their satanic actions against humanity. They dress up in the uniforms of the local police for example in Thailand they walk around in uniforms of The Royal Thai Police when in fact they are part of the TI.Cia Satanic Mafia and nothing whatsoever to do with The Royal Thai Police. It is their decit and lies that bring the genuine Royal thai police a bad reputation. I have heard some of the TI.Cia talking about how they have bred a certain strain of being that is suitable for working as guards and others for the sex trade etc. This was not make up but in his actual skin. I have seen other examples of the TI.Cia and their experiments on human beings. It is rumoured they have "breeders" they use to produce girls for the sex industry of the region and they put hormones from various animals in the diets of these girls to make them more sexually active. The is only one solution which is to eliminate the TI.Cia from existence.. They are incapable of behaving in the civilised manner of Human Beings for they are NOT Humans. Mr Winn-Pope is one name they use and also Geoffery Kempe (Genetics Ovary Chemical Physics Experiment). Geoffery Kempe was from Ashwood Road Woking Surrey UK. Walton Road Woking Surrey UK was where some ex-Gestapo mothers and children were settled after WW2. They have been committing land and property and ID fraud all over South East Asia and Spain and Portugal. They stole documents out of Bishopsgarth Heathside Road woking Surrey and from Mrs Fredrike Louisa Young at Little Oslo Heathside Road Woking Surrey UK. One of them sits as a Magistrate in The Southern Criminal Court of Thanon Chalong Kreung Bangkok under a false ID.... He was in prison in UK HMP FORD PRISON for serious fraud just three years ago. Did you know the invasion of Poland in 1939 was the work of Geftapo officers dressed up in the uniforms of Polish military ? Geftapo means German Empire Fon Tok Asia Pacifc Ocean. They were the U-boat crews and later polaris crew originating from Indonesia. They stole the IDs of germans posted in asia and bleached their skin by consuming acid in their food and drinks. They are homo Sapiens Satan NOT Home Sapiens Human. They forged the command to invade Poland causing WW2 in Europe. They did the same in the pacific with the bombing of Pearl Harbour forging a command that loked lke it was issued by the Japanese Navy Commander. That is why on both occasions countries were attacked without war being declared first. Today they are known as the TI.Cia and they promote Satanic Games. They steal the IDs of members of The Royal Thai Police and other officials. That is their common practice to steal the IDs of other people to commit their crimes against humanity. I have been terrorised non stop again for the last month 24 hours a day 7 days a week by a group of people connected to Walton Road Woking, St Georges Hill Weybridge and Southall Hounslow and Chiswick UK. These people who have families involved in illegally deveoping (devils offer) land that belongs to my family in countries that include Thailaland, Hawaii USA, Maryland USA, Surrey and Middlesex UK, London UK and Australia plus quite a number of other countries. Their dishonesty,greed and corruption has included hiring people to kill some of my children, my father and about 60 people who have been friends of our family. To date The Royal Thai Police have detained around 5000 people who were terrorising Erik Young in Bangkok. There are more that need to be arrested. There are so few creatures on this planet that would torture children or any living creature. This places a pointer straight towards the Wynn/Taiwan Group especially as they seem linked to almost every single major conflict that is recorded. If you add them into any conflict which had not mentioned their presence you will usually find the genuine story, they were the trouble and they lied to both conflicting groups so they could go in and loot the country/business/industry and they were the group that brought the Gestapo to Europe. The same Gestapo totally corrupted NAZI Germany. http://www.pattayadailynews..com/shownews.php?IDNEWS=0000000895 http://webboard.news.sanook.com/forum/?action=post;topic=2089450..0;num_replies=18 http://www.la don ia.net/new_herald/?p=151

Bali adalah sebuah pulau di Indonesia, sekaligus menjadi salah satu provinsi Indonesia. Bali terletak di antara Pulau Jawa dan Pulau Lombok. Ibukota provinsinya ialah Denpasar, yang terletak di bagian selatan pulau ini. Mayoritas penduduk Bali adalah pemeluk agama Hindu. Di dunia, Bali terkenal sebagai tujuan pariwisata dengan keunikan berbagai hasil seni-budayanya, khususnya bagi para wisatawan Jepang dan Australia. Bali juga dikenal sebagai Pulau Dewata.

Geografi

Pulau Bali adalah bagian dari Kepulauan Sunda Kecil sepanjang 153 km dan selebar 112 km sekitar 3,2 km dari Pulau Jawa. Secara astronomis, Bali terletak di 8°25′23″ Lintang Selatan dan 115°14′55″ Lintang Timur yang mebuatnya beriklim tropis seperti bagian Indonesia yang lain.

Gunung Agung adalah titik tertinggi di Bali setinggi 3.148 m. Gunung berapi ini terakhir meletus pada Maret 1963. Gunung Batur juga salah satu gunung yang ada di Bali. Sekitar 30.000 tahun yang lalu, Gunung Batur meletus dan menghasilkan bencana yang dahsyat di bumi. Berbeda dengan di bagian utara, bagian selatan Bali adalah dataran rendah yang dialiri sungai-sungai.

Berdasarkan relief dan topografi, di tengah-tengah Pulau Bali terbentang pegunungan yang memanjang dari barat ke timur dan diantara pegunungan tersebut terdapat gugusan gunung berapi yaitu Gunung Batur dan Gunung Agung serta gunung yang tidak berapi yaitu Gunung Merbuk, Gunung Patas, dan Gunung Seraya. Adanya pegunungan tersebut menyebabkan Daerah Bali secara Geografis terbagi menjadi 2 (dua) bagian yang tidak sama yaitu Bali Utara dengan dataran rendah yang sempit dan kurang landai, dan Bali Selatan dengan dataran rendah yang luas dan landai. Kemiringan lahan Pulau Bali terdiri dari lahan datar (0-2%) seluas 122.652 ha, lahan bergelombang (2-15%) seluas 118.339 ha, lahan curam (15-40%) seluas 190.486 ha, dan lahan sangat curam (>40%) seluas 132.189 ha. Provinsi Bali memiliki 4 (empat) buah danau yang berlokasi di daerah pegunungan yaitu : Danau Beratan, Buyan, Tamblingan dan Danau Batur.

Ibu kota Bali adalah Denpasar. Tempat-tempat penting lainnya adalah Ubud sebagai pusat seni terletak di Kabupaten Gianyar; sedangkan Kuta, Sanur, Seminyak, Jimbaran dan Nusa Dua adalah beberapa tempat yang menjadi tujuan pariwisata, baik wisata pantai maupun tempat peristirahatan.

Luas wilayah Provinsi Bali adalah 5.636,66 km2 atau 0,29% luas wilayah Republik Indonesia. Secara administratif Provinsi Bali terbagi atas 9 kabupaten/kota, 55 kecamatan dan 701 desa/kelurahan.

Sejarah

Artikel utama: Sejarah Bali

Penghuni pertama pulau Bali diperkirakan datang pada 3000-2500 SM yang bermigrasi dari Asia. Peninggalan peralatan batu dari masa tersebut ditemukan di desa Cekik yang terletak di bagian barat pulau. Zaman prasejarah kemudian berakhir dengan datangnya orang-orang Hindu dari India pada 100 SM.

Kebudayaan Bali kemudian mendapat pengaruh kuat kebudayaan India, yang prosesnya semakin cepat setelah abad ke-1 Masehi. Nama Balidwipa (pulau Bali) mulai ditemukan di berbagai prasasti, diantaranya Prasasti Blanjong yang dikeluarkan oleh Sri Kesari Warmadewa pada 913 M dan menyebutkan kata Walidwipa. Diperkirakan sekitar masa inilah sistem irigasi subak untuk penanaman padi mulai dikembangkan. Beberapa tradisi keagamaan dan budaya juga mulai berkembang pada masa itu. Kerajaan Majapahit (1293–1500 AD) yang beragama Hindu dan berpusat di pulau Jawa, pernah mendirikan kerajaan bawahan di Bali sekitar tahun 1343 M. Saat itu hampir seluruh nusantara beragama Hindu, namun seiring datangnya Islam berdirilah kerajaan-kerajaan Islam di nusantara yang antara lain menyebabkan keruntuhan Majapahit. Banyak bangsawan, pendeta, artis, dan masyarakat Hindu lainnya yang ketika itu menyingkir dari Pulau Jawa ke Bali.

Orang Eropa yang pertama kali menemukan Bali ialah Cornelis de Houtman dari Belanda pada 1597, meskipun sebuah kapal Portugis sebelumnya pernah terdampar dekat tanjung Bukit, Jimbaran, pada 1585. Belanda lewat VOC pun mulai melaksanakan penjajahannya di tanah Bali, akan tetapi terus mendapat perlawanan sehingga sampai akhir kekuasaannya posisi mereka di Bali tidaklah sekokoh posisi mereka di Jawa atau Maluku. Bermula dari wilayah utara Bali, semenjak 1840-an kehadiran Belanda telah menjadi permanen, yang awalnya dilakukan dengan mengadu-domba berbagai penguasa Bali yang saling tidak mempercayai satu sama lain. Belanda melakukan serangan besar lewat laut dan darat terhadap daerah Sanur, dan disusul dengan daerah Denpasar. Pihak Bali yang kalah dalam jumlah maupun persenjataan tidak ingin mengalami malu karena menyerah, sehingga menyebabkan terjadinya perang sampai mati atau puputan, yang melibatkan seluruh rakyat baik pria maupun wanita termasuk rajanya. Diperkirakan sebanyak 4.000 orang tewas dalam peristiwa tersebut, meskipun Belanda telah memerintahkan mereka untuk menyerah. Selanjutnya, para gubernur Belanda yang memerintah hanya sedikit saja memberikan pengaruhnya di pulau ini, sehingga pengendalian lokal terhadap agama dan budaya umumnya tidak berubah.

Jepang menduduki Bali selama Perang Dunia II, dan saat itu seorang perwira militer bernama I Gusti Ngurah Rai membentuk pasukan Bali 'pejuang kemerdekaan'. Menyusul menyerahnya Jepang di Pasifik pada bulan Agustus 1945, Belanda segera kembali ke Indonesia (termasuk Bali) untuk menegakkan kembali pemerintahan kolonialnya layaknya keadaan sebelum perang. Hal ini ditentang oleh pasukan perlawanan Bali yang saat itu menggunakan senjata Jepang.

Pada 20 November 1940, pecahlah pertempuran Puputan Margarana yang terjadi di desa Marga, Kabupaten Tabanan, Bali tengah. Kolonel I Gusti Ngurah Rai, yang berusia 29 tahun, memimpin tentaranya dari wilayah timur Bali untuk melakukan serangan sampai mati pada pasukan Belanda yang bersenjata lengkap. Seluruh anggota batalion Bali tersebut tewas semuanya, dan menjadikannya sebagai perlawanan militer Bali yang terakhir.

Pada tahun 1946 Belanda menjadikan Bali sebagai salah satu dari 13 wilayah bagian dari Negara Indonesia Timur yang baru diproklamasikan, yaitu sebagai salah satu negara saingan bagi Republik Indonesia yang diproklamasikan dan dikepalai oleh Sukarno dan Hatta. Bali kemudian juga dimasukkan ke dalam Republik Indonesia Serikat ketika Belanda mengakui kemerdekaan Indonesia pada 29 Desember 1949. Tahun 1950, secara resmi Bali meninggalkan perserikatannya dengan Belanda dan secara hukum menjadi sebuah propinsi dari Republik Indonesia.

Letusan Gunung Agung yang terjadi di tahun 1963, sempat mengguncangkan perekonomian rakyat dan menyebabkan banyak penduduk Bali bertransmigrasi ke berbagai wilayah lain di Indonesia.

Tahun 1965, seiring dengan gagalnya kudeta oleh G30S terhadap pemerintah nasional di Jakarta, di Bali dan banyak daerah lainnya terjadilah penumpasan terhadap anggota dan simpatisan Partai Komunis Indonesia. Di Bali, diperkirakan lebih dari 100.000 orang terbunuh atau hilang. Meskipun demikian, kejadian-kejadian di masa awal Orde Baru tersebut sampai dengan saat ini belum berhasil diungkapkan secara hukum.

Serangan teroris telah terjadi pada 12 Oktober 2002, berupa serangan Bom Bali 2002 di kawasan pariwisata Pantai Kuta, menyebabkan sebanyak 202 orang tewas dan 209 orang lainnya cedera. Serangan Bom Bali 2005 juga terjadi tiga tahun kemudian di Kuta dan pantai Jimbaran. Kejadian-kejadian tersebut mendapat liputan internasional yang luas karena sebagian besar korbannya adalah wisatawan asing, dan menyebabkan industri pariwisata Bali menghadapi tantangan berat beberapa tahun terakhir ini.

Demografi

Lahan sawah di Bali

Penduduk Bali kira-kira sejumlah 4 juta jiwa, dengan mayoritas 92,3% menganut agama Hindu. Agama lainnya adalah Islam, Protestan, Katolik, dan Buddha.

Selain dari sektor pariwisata, penduduk Bali juga hidup dari pertanian dan perikanan. Sebagian juga memilih menjadi seniman. Bahasa yang digunakan di Bali adalah Bahasa Indonesia, Bali, dan Inggris khususnya bagi yang bekerja di sektor pariwisata.

Bahasa Bali dan Bahasa Indonesia adalah bahasa yang paling luas pemakaiannya di Bali, dan sebagaimana penduduk Indonesia lainnya, sebagian besar masyarakat Bali adalah bilingual atau bahkan trilingual. Meskipun terdapat beberapa dialek dalam bahasa Bali, umumnya masyarakat Bali menggunakan sebentuk bahasa Bali pergaulan sebagai pilihan dalam berkomunikasi. Secara tradisi, penggunaan berbagai dialek bahasa Bali ditentukan berdasarkan sistem catur warna dalam agama Hindu Dharma; meskipun pelaksanaan tradisi tersebut cenderung berkurang.

Bahasa Inggris adalah bahasa ketiga (dan bahasa asing utama) bagi banyak masyarakat Bali, yang dipengaruhi oleh kebutuhan yang besar dari industri pariwisata. Para karyawan yang bekerja pada pusat-pusat informasi wisatawan di Bali, seringkali juga memahami beberapa bahasa asing dengan kompetensi yang cukup memadai.

Transportasi

Bali tidak memiliki jaringan rel kereta api namun jaringan jalan yang sangat baik tersedia khususnya ke daerah-daerah tujuan wisatawan. Sebagian besar penduduk memiliki kendaraan pribadi dan memilih menggunakannya karena moda transportasi umum tidak tersedia dengan baik, kecuali taksi.

Jenis kendaraan umum di Bali antara lain

• Dokar, kendaraan dengan menggunakan kuda sebagai penarik
• Ojek, taksi sepeda motor
• Bemo, melayani dalam dan antarkota
• Taksi
• Bus, melayani hubungan antarkota, pedesaan, dan antarprovinsi.

Bali terhubung dengan Pulau Jawa dengan layanan kapal feri yang menghubungkan Pelabuhan Gilimanuk dengan Pelabuhan Ketapang di Kabupaten Banyuwangi, yang lama tempuhnya sekitar 30 hingga 45 menit. Penyeberangan ke Pulau Lombok melalui Pelabuhan Padang Bay menuju Pelabuhan Lembar, yang memakan waktu sekitar empat jam.

Transportasi udara dilayani oleh Bandara Internasional Ngurah Rai, dengan destinasi ke sejumlah kota besar di Indonesia, Australia, Singapura, Malaysia, Thailand, serta Jepang. Landas pacu dan pesawat terbang yang datang dan pergi bisa terlihat dengan jelas dari pantai.

Budaya

Musik

Seperangkat gamelan Bali.

Musik tradisional Bali memiliki kesamaan dengan musik tradisional di banyak daerah lainnya di Indonesia, misalnya dalam penggunaan gamelan dan berbagai alat musik tabuh lainnya. Meskipun demikian, terdapat kekhasan dalam tehnik memainkan dan gubahannya, misalnya dalam bentuk kecak, yaitu sebentuk nyanyian yang konon menirukan suara kera. Demikian pula beragam gamelan yang dimainkan pun memiliki keunikan, misalnya Gamelan Jegog, Gamelan Gong Gede, Gamelan Gambang, Gamelan Selunding, dan Gamelan Semar Pegulingan. Adapula musik Angklung dimainkan untuk upacara ngaben, serta musik Bebonangan dimainkan dalam berbagai upacara lainnya.

Terdapat bentuk modern dari musik tradisional Bali, misalnya Gamelan Gong Kebyar yang merupakan musik tarian yang dikembangkan pada masa penjajahan Belanda, serta Joged Bumbung yang mulai populer di Bali sejak era tahun 1950-an. Umumnya musik Bali merupakan kombinasi dari berbagai alat musik perkusi metal (metalofon), gong, dan perkusi kayu (xilofon). Karena hubungan sosial, politik dan budaya, musik tradisional Bali atau permainan gamelan gaya Bali memberikan pengaruh atau saling mempengaruhi daerah budaya di sekitarnya, misalnya pada musik tradisional masyarakat Banyuwangi serta musik tradisional masyarakat Lombok.

Tari

Seni tari Bali pada umumnya dapat dikatagorikan menjadi tiga kelompok; yaitu wali atau seni tari pertunjukan sakral, bebali atau seni tari pertunjukan untuk upacara dan juga untuk pengunjung, dan balih-balihan atau seni tari untuk hiburan pengunjung.

Pakar seni tari Bali I Made Bandem pada awal tahun 1980-an pernah menggolongkan tari-tarian Bali tersebut; antara lain yang tergolong ke dalam wali misalnya Berutuk, Sang Hyang Dedari, Rejang dan Baris Gede, bebali antara lain ialah Gambuh, Topeng Pajegan, dan Wayang Wong, sedangkan balih-balihan antara lain ialah Legong, Parwa, Arja, Prembon dan Joged, serta berbagai koreografi tari modern lainnya.

Salah satu tarian yang sangat populer bagi para wisatawan ialah Tari Kecak. Sekitar tahun 1930-an, Wayan Limbak bekerja sama dengan pelukis Jerman Walter Spies menciptakan tari ini berdasarkan tradisi Sanghyang dan bagian-bagian kisah Ramayana. Wayan Limbak mempopulerkan tari ini saat berkeliling dunia bersama rombongan penari Bali-nya.

Rumah Adat

Rumah Bali yang sesuai dengan aturan Asta Kosala Kosali (bagian Weda yang mengatur tata letak ruangan dan bangunan, layaknya Feng Shui dalam Budaya China)

Menurut filosofi masyarakat Bali, kedinamisan dalam hidup akan tercapai apabila terwujudnya hubungan yang harmonis antara aspek pawongan, palemahan, dan parahyangan. Untuk itu, pembangunan sebuah rumah harus meliputi aspek-aspek tersebut atau yang biasa disebut ‘’Tri Hita Karana’’. Pawongan merupakan para penghuni rumah. Palemahan berarti harus ada hubungan yang baik antara penghuni rumah dan lingkungannya.

Pada umumnya,bangunan atau arsitektur tradisional daerah Bali selalu dipenuhi hiasan, berupa ukiran, peralatan serta pemberian warna. Ragam hias tersebut mengandung arti tertentu sebagai ungkapan keindahan simbolsimbol dan penyampaian komunikasi. Bentuk-bentuk ragam hias dari jenis fauna juga berfungsi sebagai simbol-simbol ritual yang ditampilkan dalam patung.
