As one of tropical island, Bali is also a perfect place for Frangipani, an exotic, colorful, and so identic with tropical island. For the Balinese, this flower is not only for yard decoration or hair decoration for Dancer, it is also one flower that mostly use for offerings.

At the present time, frangipani tree become more famous for its beautiful shape and its non-stop flower as natural decoration for Villas that also grows in Bali. The search for old Balinese Frangipani tree has been all over Bali. Last time my Dad at my home also doing the same thing, he searched that tree and found one but not very old still good enough to decorate our small yard.

The fragrant of Frangipani now also become a potential products as one of the incense stick ingredients. The after dried flower will left a strong fragrant.

Bali has better internet connection right now, much better speed, more choices for any packages. For my daily internet connection I used StarOne from Indosat, the cheapest connection I know, it is only (from official Indosat latest announcement) IDR 99k/month, quota 1Gb, still enough for me though.

If you have a company in Bali that rely in internet connection, there are more choices but a lot more expensive, because the use to give dedicated IP or big bandwidth. For example my office where I work use Centrin with connection 512Mbps and uplink 128. Other option would go to Blueline, one of the best and fully support ISP in Bali.

And I heard a lot from Jakarta blogger, there is one new internet provider (FirstMedia.com), unlimited 300Mbps with only 99k/monthly without quota limit, wow, soon they will spread their wings to Bali, cant wait!
