Dear Editor,

My daughter and I took a week long break to Bali recently. As

it was our tenth visit
to the beautiful island, we decided to do away with the usual
holiday hullabaloo. No hectic
travelling from place to place in a rented car and no endless
shopping expeditions. This was
purely to relax.

The absence of my energetic shopaholic hubby made it

possible for us to just sit back
and enjoy the aura of peace and tranquility that is synonymous with
Bali. We spent our
days dipping in the sea, swimming in the pool or just lazing in the
sun. in the late
afternoon, when it was lightly cooler, we would take long walk by
the beach or browse

9
around many little shops along the cosy village of Tanjung Benoa.

Many of the restaurants also have cultural shows or live band

performances for
diners as they eat. At the resort, my daughter Sarah befriended a
lot of people. Most
memorable was the bond she formed with a group of kids. These
kids just got along like a
house on fire. They spent every waking moment together, swimming
and playing in the
water, chasing each other. Their days were filled with joy and
laughter. Not even the rain
managed to dampen their spirits as they went on building their sand
castle.
To me this was the highlight of my holiday- to watch my
daughter mingling with
people from all over the world, free from judgment and
assumptions.
