A beautiful lady wearing an exquisite costume and sparkling jewelry sways gracefully, while a man wearing a frog mask dances as if he is a frog. What is the message here? Will the lady kiss the frog and transform him into a handsome prince?

Well, the frog indeed turns into a handsome prince, but the story is not about a curse. It is about the love of a mother, the love between man and woman, and most of all it is about reincarnation.

Reincarnation has a very close relationship with karma. How and in what form you are reborn to the world depends on your karma, as a result of your actions and attitude in your previous life.

So the Frog Dance is a fairytale about a couple who have no children.

"... One day, the wife goes to the forest to collect some firewood. After walking for several hours she feels thirsty, and takes a coconut shell to fill it with water to drink. Returning to the village she encounters a big frog on the way and she suddenly falls pregnant.

A few days later she gives birth, not to a baby but to a frog. She and her husband take really good care of the frog and shower him with love as if he is a human. Growing into an adult the frog meets the princess of Daha on the road. He is blown away by her beauty and warm heart. Yes… he falls in love with the princess and wants to marry her.

The king is infuriated when the frog's parents come to ask for his daughter's hand in marriage for their son. Angered, the King comes up with a mean proposition. He orders his chief minister to execute the frog's mother, promising that if she manages to survive he will give his consent for his daughter to marry the frog.

Miraculously the mother survives and the frog then marries the princess. However, the frog is still ashamed of his appearance so he goes to Mount Mahameru to pray. His deep prayers and strong faith bring the desired result; God grants him a human form. During his meditation, he gets a vision that he was the prince of Jenggala Kingdom in a previous life that reincarnated as a frog in order to pay for his wrongdoings... "

The BEST of Nusa Dua (part II)

You may love to read these articles (first) before continue to read this posting...

Dine in Outer Space. Tetaring Restaurant in Kayumanis Nusa Dua was designed and made by aliens. Yes, this is a blatant lie, but it could have been for its futuristic looks. The architects here have managed to combine glass and bamboo panels so perfectly that you are under the illusion of dining inside of spaceship. Their food however, isn't alien as they are guaranteed to please the human palate. Farther inside the complex, their villas are also equally excellently designed. Popular for honeymoon couples, the best thing about staying here is the privacy. Kayumanis Nusa Dua doesn't accept children and even when the complex is full, you can hardly see the other guests.

Live like a King. To become a king is difficult. Prince Charles might have the pleasure one day, but even he can't get the guarantee. So you need to marry the Queen of England where the possibility of which is next to nil. Still, you can live like one easily in Nusa Dua. The Royal Residence at Nusa Dua Beach Hotel and Spa is owned by the Sultan of Brunei and this is where he resides whenever he's in Bali. However, for most of the year when the king isn't around, the residence is available for rent. Lie down on the massive four post bed that looks truly striking and get a taste of the royal comfort everybody has been dreaming about for all of their lives. Who knows it might be contagious.

Be Cultured. Every year, there are noises usually coming out of the amphitheatre at Nusa Dua. When it does, you're in luck because that means there is a feast of culture in the area. For detailed schedule, check out their website http://fiesta.balinusaduaresort.com

Be a Shopaholic. It's an accepted notion that shopping gives instant gratification. What happens after you receive your credit card bill later on is a bridge you only cross when you really have to. Those who know Nusa Dua well is aware of the fact that there is actually good shopping in the area. Bali Collection offers a wide variety of goods from evening cocktail outfit to jewellery, cheap tourist tats, books, sporting goods to food. Yes, food. There are plenty of good restaurants and bars available inside the open-air complex should you decide you need more energy and encouragement to swipe your card.

Get Married in a Pyramid. Not a real pyramid of course, but inside the remarkable triangular structure made by glass called infinity located at Conrad Bali. It seats 60 peoples so it's big enough for an intimate yet lavish wedding ceremony. This wedding venue is ideally located by the beach so you get a great view of the Indian Ocean while pledging unconditional love to your significant other. Should you want to go more traditional, the Water Garden, also in the vicinity of Conrad Bali is an alternative option.

Join the Local Water Games. The main Nusa Dua tourist complex offers a decent range of beach activities. But the real fun is located a bit farther down in Tanjung Benoa. Known as the center for water sports in Bali, this area offers a whole new level of water-related adrenaline-pumpers. Brave yourself and try out the parasailing facilities or see if you can still look cool on water playing wake and knee boarding. If you simply want to feel roaring engines in between your legs, there are plenty of jet skis around to satisfy your needs. For a wide variety of such sports that even include coral/deep fishing tour, head down to Conrad Bali.

Appreciate Art. On this island, when you think about museum and art, you think about Ubud. But it turns out that even in posh Nusa Dua you can still go and stare at a painting for hours. Museum Pasifika is quite new, it's only opened in 2006 but it already boasts over 600 works on permanent display. On top of showcasing fine works by Indonesia artists, the museum also displays works from other international artists whose works carry similar theme, Asia and the Pacific. When you're done analyzing the paintings, there is a little stand at the lobby where you can buy a book about all the arts inside. As the museum rarely gets busy, it really is a nice break from all the shopping and partying one seem to always do in this area.

The BEST of Nusa Dua (part I)

From a museum to a spaceship and a Spa of butterflies, Nusa Dua has it all. One of Bali's most exclusive areas.

Get Wrapped in Mud. Going to a spa these days take courage. Over are the days when a spa visit only includes a gentle massage, a sauna and a flower bath. More Spa goers mean more Spa openings and this means more money for research and development. If you consider yourself a Spa connoisseur, then getting wrapped in mud is something you live for. The Black Moor mud is known for its healing characteristics. When you get your skin scrubbed with aromatic and warm Moor mud and then have it wrapped all over you for about half an hour, your skin immediately becomes very smooth. Add that with a fine massage and you know you're going to come back again next month.

Ditch Your Kids. But this is only because we know The Westin Kids Club is one of the best on the island. The resort has developed all-round facilities and services where your offspring are well taken care of and fully entertained. They have art classes for your kids to learn how to make simple handicrafts and appreciate Balinese culture, or even fishing. Longing for a peaceful breakfast without your kids running around, screaming an making a mess all over? The Westin has gone as far as providing special kids section at breakfast which for some people is the ingredient that makes a perfect morning cup of coffee.

Ride a Camel. They can't possibly bring a desert to a beach in Bali, but they can bring the camels. These animals might not look as handsome as studs, but they are surely fun to ride, especially on the beach and then through a traditional village. Both the morning and afternoon rides are almost equally entertaining, but keep in mind that it could get really hot up there when the sun is in full blow. The sunset tour is best because it can keep your sweat level to the minimum.

Sip the island's best Bloody Mary. At St Regis Bali Resort, they call it Bali Mary and it's truly merry. Coming here with an empty stomach is not recommended because you might end up drinking glasses after glasses of this tasty drink for your lunch. The vodka, spices and tomato juice are mixed together so well that this drink feels so crunchy you almost want to chew instead of sip. Luckily, the bartenders have mercy on you and provide you with a piece of cucumber. What's the recipe you ask? Absolute peper, jicama, cucumber, brown sugar, tomato juice, lemon and variety of spices of which content is we can't reveal. For the best experience, come for a sunset drink and enjoy it while watching the resort's regular fire dance performance.

Holiday like a Celebrity. No, it doesn't mean jet-setting with a diet of champagne and cigarettes, but stay in a zen-like environment and eat healthily, just like Sting and Donna Karan. The Bale's villas can soothe your mind simply by handsomely standing there. There whole complex has been designed to look more like a modern temple with a world class Spa equipped with a comprehensive health menu. If that's not enough, their signature restaurant Faces also has a Wellness Corner menu. Be sure to try the light yet flavorful organic quinoa salad with nashi ear, papaya relish, toasted almonds and curry vinaigrette.

Whack Balls. Releasing stress is sometimes not just about relaxing. There's only so much sunbathing and going to a Spa can do for you. For the rest, golf is the answer. Designed by Nelson Wright, the 18-hole course at Bali Golf and Country Club is considered as one of the best in Asia. The windy nature of the Nusa Dua area is just the challenge you need to prove to yourself and most importantly, your golf buddies (of course), that you are the best at whacking balls and putting them into tiny holes. There is a Balinese style clubhouse for the post game drinks, but if you can't wait that long, try asking for two caddies. One to carry your golf stuff and another one to carry your drinks and to make sure the glasses are bottomless.
