| Open Food Markets Public markets like this are part of life in Denpasar. In fact, the name Denpasar in Balinese translates to "North" (Den) "Market" (Pasar), because our city originally began near the site of a market. |

| Biodiversity Bali has many interesting birds, and we're especially known for the endemic and endangered Bali Myna bird. Although its image is seen every day on one of our Indonesian coins, it is rarely scene in nature because it's critically endangered. Therefore, most photos, including this one, only show birds in zoos across the world. |
