Day 9 - Art and Culture in and around Ubud 5/7.

19-11-1999

 

We left the wood carver and we stopped by in a town where a cock fight was starting.

 

 

 

Cock fighting is the national sport in Bali. You can bet on one of the cocks.

The rules are: the one that survivor wins.

I did bet for 10.000 IDR on the red one, and won! None of the cocks died during the fight, because the yellow one was afraid and ran off. If one of the cocks run away, then the other one is held in a cage. In case the other one still runs away,  the runaway cock loses. This was the case with the cock fight we participated.

 

 

 


 

We went down to GOA GAJAH, the Elephant Cave! In the terrace in front of
the cave there is pond and around the cave area is full at Buddhist statues. Inside the cave you will find Ganessa Statue
and Lingga Statues.
