If you’ve spent any time in Bali between June and September, you’ve almost certainly looked up and seen the sky dotted with enormous kites some stretching several metres long, flying impossibly high above rice fields, beaches, and rooftops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s one of those things that catches first-time visitors completely off guard. The kites here aren’t children’s toys. They’re serious, culturally significant, and in some cases, loud enough to hear from hundreds of metres away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to understand Bali beyond its temples and beaches, SatuSatu.com<\/a> is a great place to start and understanding the kite tradition is a genuinely good entry point into the island’s living culture.<\/p>\n\n\n \n \n \n \n
