ʻO nā aka nani o ka ʻalani a me ka poni e hoʻopiha i ka lewa i ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā ma luna o ke one, nā kahakai keʻokeʻo a me nā māla raiki jade-green. Ma hope o ka pōʻeleʻele, hoʻololi ka Zen mālie o Bali i ka wā e kahe ana ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i nā alanui a paʻi i loko o nā hale pō a me nā kaola.
Hula hilahila ʻole kekahi Pelekāne me ka ʻaʻahu ʻole a me ke kamaʻa ʻole i loko o kahi pā i piha i ka lehulehu me kahi lole i nakinaki ʻia ma kona poʻo. ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi āna i hana ai he mea kānalua ia e hoʻomanaʻo i ke kakahiaka. Holo nā haole ʻaʻahu ʻaʻahu liʻiliʻi i waho a i waho o nā alanui piha e like me ka pāʻani frogger - ʻaʻole nalo i nā kaʻa kaʻa, nā kaʻa a me nā kaʻa kaʻa e holo ana. ʻO ka honi a me ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā leo e holoi i nā hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka detox mai ka lā ma mua.
Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻo Kuta a me Legian kahi e holo ai ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi no ke ola pō a hoʻopuka nā puke alakaʻi i nā ʻōlelo aʻo.
"ʻO nā mākaʻikaʻi maʻamau - topless, bottomless, witless, brainless and hopeless," heluhelu ʻo LUXE City Guides. "E ʻoluʻolu, e hōʻike i kahi mahalo."
Hoʻomaopopo ka hapa nui o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e hele mai i ʻaneʻi mai nā wahi a puni o ka honua e haʻalele i nā mea āpau a ʻo ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e hoʻokele i ka ʻoihana.
“Aia i [Kuta] nā mea a pau a ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e ʻimi nei, ʻo ia hoʻi ke kahakai keʻokeʻo, ke one, nā lālani o nā kaola maikaʻi loa a me nā hale ʻaina, nā discotheques a me nā wahi leʻaleʻa no kahi pō leʻaleʻa," wahi a ka Bali Tourism Board Web site. "ʻO nā lālani kiosk e kūʻai aku ana i nā mea hoʻomanaʻo a me nā mea āpau e pono ai ka mākaʻikaʻi e like me nā lole a i ʻole nā CD hou a me nā cassette e loaʻa ana ma ke ala nui me nā kumukūʻai kūpono."
“Maikaʻi ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi. He nui nā mākaʻikaʻi e hele mai i Bali. E loaʻa kālā," wahi a ke kaʻa kaʻa ʻo Nyoman. "Ke hoʻomau mau nei ka poʻe Australia."
I kēia makahiki ke piʻi aʻe nei ka nui o nā malihini kipa i ka mokupuni, ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o 3 miliona, ʻo ka hapa nui o lākou mai Iapana a me Australia.
ʻO ka poʻe huakaʻi mai United Kingdom kahi kokoke i 4 pakeneka o nā malihini a ʻo nā ʻAmelika he 3.6k pakeneka o ka ʻoi aku o 1 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi Bali.
Ua emi nui ka heluna malihini ma hope o ka pahū ʻana i ka makahiki 2002 a ma hope o kekahi pahū hou ʻana i ka makahiki 2005, e hoʻonui ana i nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi nui loa mai Kuta.
“Ma mua o [ka] pana ʻana ua nui aku nā ʻAmelika. ʻAʻole nui hou," wahi a Gede kamaʻāina me ke kunou ʻana i kahi i hele ai kekahi o nā pahū i ke alanui. "Ua kokoke ʻo Australia, no laila hele mai lākou."
I kēia lā, ma mua o ka hoʻomanaʻo 2002, hele nā nalu o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i ke alanui paʻa me nā pia ma ka lima.
ʻO kahi Australian ʻaʻahu ʻole ma lalo o ka pā e haʻi i nā ʻakaʻaka me ka leo nui e lohe ai i nā mele ʻo Eagles "Hotel California" a me "Tequila Sunrise" e pahū ana ma hope.
Ke kū nei ʻo Nyoman wahine kūloko ma hope o ka pā. "ʻAʻohe pilikia iaʻu no ka mea ma ka home ʻaʻole ʻaʻahu kaʻu kāne i ka pālule," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, me ka hoʻohui ʻana i kekahi manawa he pilikia ka hana mākaʻikaʻi.
"I kekahi manawa ua ona lākou a manaʻo e uku lākou, ʻaʻole naʻe," wahi āna. "ʻona lākou a huhū."
Ma waho o kahi mākaʻikaʻi kamaʻilio e pili ana i kona ʻona ʻana i ka pō ma mua, e hoʻopau ana i kekahi ea kilokilo ma ka mokupuni Hindu.
"ʻAʻole kū ka poʻe Bali ma ʻaneʻi," wahi a Gede e pili ana i ke ola pō ma Jalan Raya Legian.
Eia naʻe, ʻike ʻia nā honua ʻelua e noho pū ana, a hilinaʻi pū kekahi i kekahi. Ke hilinaʻi nei ka Balinese i ka hoʻokele waiwai o ka mākaʻikaʻi, a me ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi, ka pono o ka escapism Bali e hāʻawi ai.
"Pili mau ke ola ma Bali me 'Tri Hita Karana' a i ʻole kahi manaʻo tripartite e pili ana i ka pilina uhane ma waena o ke kanaka a me ke Akua, a me ko lākou kaiapuni," wahi a ka Bali Tourism Board Web site.
ʻO nā makana liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi i hana ʻia i nā lau pāma e kau ʻia ma ka honua i mua o nā hale kūʻai a me nā hale ʻaina i kēlā me kēia lā e ka Balinese. Ma hope, ua ʻoki ʻia lākou e ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e hele me ka ʻike ʻole, nā hua laiki a me nā pua i hoʻopuehu ʻia ma ke alahele.
Ma kahi wahi kaulana no ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e hoʻokuʻu i hope a hoʻokuʻu ʻia, ua hoʻomanawanui a mālama ʻia nā kamaʻāina - ʻo kā lākou ʻakaʻaka hoʻokipa a hoʻohewa ʻole.
Ua waiho ʻia ka poʻe pāʻina e leʻaleʻa i nā kahakai mālie e ola hou ai a hāʻawi ʻia i nā wai huaʻai hou e hoʻomaʻemaʻe hou ai.
He nui ka poʻe Bali e ʻōlelo Pelekania a nīnau i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i nā nīnau maʻamau, “No hea ʻoe? Pehea ka lōʻihi o kou noho ʻana? Male 'ia paha' oe?"
Aʻo kekahi i nā mea kumu. "Aloha meli," "kumu kūʻai liʻiliʻi" a me "ka lawe ʻana" e like me ke kāhea ʻana o nā hawkers kūloko i ka lā.
Hāʻawi ka Balinese i nā mea a lākou e manaʻo ai e makemake ai ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi a i kekahi manawa e hui pū i nā mea a lākou e ʻike ai.
“Inā e hele ana ʻoe i Kapalakiko, e ʻoluʻolu e ʻaʻahu i kekahi mau pua i kou lauoho,” i hīmeni ai ke mele disc jockey ma kahi pā kaulana i ka wā i nīnau ʻia ai e pili ana i nā haole ma Bali.
Kāʻei ka pūʻali ʻInenesia i nā mele ʻAmelika i noi ʻia e ka lehulehu. Lawe ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i ka microphone a hīmeni pū. Kū kekahi poʻe a hoʻopaʻa i nā ʻōmole pia ma ko lākou poʻo. Lele nā hui kūloko i luna a i lalo, hui pū me ka nui.
"Manaʻo wau ua like lākou ma nā hale kaola a pau," wahi a Ketut o nā haole. "Ua hauʻoli a hauʻoli lākou."
I kēlā me kēia pō, hiki mai nā mākaʻikaʻi hou - a hoʻohui i nā manaʻo mau loa i haʻalele ʻia e nā haole ma mua o lākou.
