Gary & Helene in Vietnam & Bali
Ngembak Geni (the day after Nyepi)
The official New Years Day! Happy 1938 everyone!
This day the Balinese visit families, neighbours and relatives to exchange forgiveness. The youth of Bali practice the ceremony of Omed-omedan or 'The Kissing Ritual' to celebrate the new year. Kisses anyone?

Look at this! After we were told the Ogoh-ogoh's get burned in the cemeteries. It turns out that not all of them get burned! It's still not clear, but it appears that it's the broken ones and some of the smaller ones that are burned, but not entirely certain.
