The Barong Dance

---

Me and Jessica flew into Bali late on the Monday night, so Tuesday was our first real day there. We were picked up by Nyoman at 9am for the start of our whistle stop tour of the island.
The first port of call was to see the Barong dance. Its a tradditional play with lots of, you guessed it dancing. Was bored stiffless and the seats were uncomfortable.
The acting was terrible and the dancing was done well, but no fun to watch. The last scene was by far the best. I do however have to question the sexuality of the men in the play. The eveil demon was captured and the other characters were hitting it with sticks. They lifted its tail(or was it) it the air and started to hit it till it fell off. They were wearing make up, took their tops of for this scene and were all touching each other weirdly for the entire scene. I felt sorry for any parents with children in the audience.
