The international airport near Denpasar opened in 1969 and initiated an era of rapid change that continues to this day. Signs of increasing wealth are everywhere. Once-peaceful towns are becoming noisy, congested, and polluted. Some superficial aspects of life have already changed beyond recognition. Bali hasn't been "ruined," but the changes are not always improvements. In the late 1980s, there was still a lot of the "old Bali" to be found for those willing to take the time and trouble get a little off the beaten track.
t the dawn of Bali's Hindu history a traveling holy man from India found a place in central Bali where 'two rivers meet', Campuhan, in Balinese. He vowed to build a temple above the cliff overlooking the rivers. The temple is still today a place of ceremonies and quiet contemplation.
In the 1940s the princely family of Ubud opened the area to foreign painters which influenced a lively art culture in the surrounding villages which today is as vivid as ever. Their output is displayed and sold in the bustling streets of Ubud, ten minutes walk up the road.
