Offerings

There are simple offerings for gods. You can see it everywhere - near doors, in any shop, even on the car's hood.

Zatoichi



Many Balinese wouldn't think of having a massage from anyone but a blind person.
Gorvenment-sponsored schools offer lengthy courses to certify blined people in
reflexology, shiatsu massage, anatomy and much more. Usually graduates work
together in group locations such as Kube Dharma Bakti JL Serma Mendara 3. "Bali and Lombok", Lonely Planet

We have visited this place and my husband have had a massage there. The massage was very good though atmosphere of this place is really humble and even sad. I'm sure, there is a brilliant business opportunity to create an unusual massage salon "Zatoichi" with blind therapists. You can make it really fancy spot.

Global offerings


There is a beautiful tradition in Bali to make simple offerings for gods to good lack. Offering is a small banana leaves box with petals, pieces of sugarcane, aroma sticks and something special like packet of soy souse. Sometimes you can see funny globalized offering with chewing gum.
