GET READY TO FLY AT THE KITES FESTIVAL |

The Sanur Village Kite Festival had previously been held 2 years ago and the Sanur Village kiting event has already been held twice. This time the event will be carried out in 2 stages, namely an exhibition and kites event. The exhibition invites kite experts from various kiting clubs in Bali by exhibiting their kites in the air for 3 days and the height of the event will be the judging of the flying kites on August 9-10, 2008 . |

Moreover, Indonesian cartoon arts are often chosen to become envoys of the nation's culture in various international cartoon festivals such as in New Zealand , Australia , and The Netherlands.

Mayeur), house of a famous Belgian impressionist painter, who was also the first expatriate artist to live in Sanur. Other Sanur highlights encountered on the way include Pesamuan Ceramic that offers its unique range of handcrafted decorative tiles and borders designed by well respected Australian artists Philip Lakeman and Graham Oldroyd. Necara Blanjong Temple is among Bali 's most ancient temples. It is the place where the oldest known inscription, the ‘Prasasti Blanjong', is kept. This edict proves that around 10 centuries ago Sanur was an important trading village. Pengembak Temple , or the Mertasari / Semawang Temple , is one of Sanur's most ancient temples. It tells of the founding of a Buddhist monastery that still hosts the sacred ‘Baris Cina' dance, with warriors wearing Portuguese-like 16th century helmets, perhaps the sign of early European contact. |
