Conversational Hypnosis
Conversational hypnosis is a little different from conventional hypnosis and is useful with persuasion techniques through the theories of neuro linguistic programming. I will attempt to give a brief overview in this article and then recommend a higher accredited source that you can gain education from.
CONVENTIONAL HYPNOSIS
Conventional hypnosis uses a monitored environment that gives total control to the hypnotizer. A "hypnotic induction" is then used to put the participant in a state of suggestibility. Now a hypnotic induction is something that you have seen in all the cliché movies and cartoons where a watch is swung in front of someone and then they are told to relax. This has a "whisker" of truth to it because generally an induction will involve the hypnotizer giving the participant instructions to relax their body, mind and proceed to then take them to a memory or scenario of suggestibility. This is simply an example and there are many different techniques.
CONVERSATIONAL HYPNOSIS
Conversational hypnosis is what it sounds like, it is the art of being able to have a conversation with someone and put them into a suggestive state. This basically uses the theories of neuro linguistic programming, which are about how we are programmed to react to certain words and using these reactions and specific words to give the hypnotizer a way to put the participant into a suggestive state. So this kind of hypnosis is very powerful because it allows the hypnotizer to use these techniques in any environment such as job interviews, public speaking, business meetings and even sports coaching. A good example is when you are at a motivational seminar and the presenter uses words and phrases as "wealth", "freedom", "happiness" with examples of walking on the beach with a loved one. You generally walk out of these seminars in a motivational and positive state along with everyone else. This is a very basic example but hopefully it helps to explain this theory.
FURTHER EDUCATION
These theories are taught by an individual called Igor Ledochowski and he is definitely the best person to learn from. Have a look at this source for more information.
Travel & Tourism | Cruise Weddings, Are They Worth It?
You may think that having a wedding on a cruise ship would be expensive for your guests to attend, but wait, they don't have to go on the cruise if you have your ceremony on the ship before it departs! On Carnival Cruise Line ships, for example, up to 50 non-cruise guests can attend your wedding. This gives your guests a nice option to be included in your wedding festivities without bearing the expense of the cruise. Furthermore, those guests that do go on the cruise with you can celebrate with you for the duration of the cruise.
Of course, you'll still have your private time, but there is absolutely nothing like taking a cruise with people you know and care about. I'm a huge advocate of group cruising. It is so much fun! There are always things to do on the ship, and the ships are large enough to find your own special place, too. You can dance the night away to live music under the stars, go to one of the disco clubs, or take in a show. Food and drink is plentiful, too, so no one will go hungry, no matter what time it is.
The cruise lines supply a wedding coordinator to help you with every detail of your special day. You and your guests will receive priority boarding if your ceremony is on the ship prior to departure. You need to book early, as cruise lines only allow a certain number of wedding groups per cruise. Your wedding coordinator will be assigned to you only after you have booked your cruise.
The other options available to you are weddings at sea, and destination weddings at a port of call. These are a bit more complex to arrange and therefore will take more time to plan, but can be as exquisite as you desire. Not all cruise lines perform at sea weddings, so be sure to check before you set your heart on a particular cruise itinerary or cruise line. At this time, Azamara, Celebrity, and Princess cruise lines are the only ones that perform at sea weddings with the captain of the ship performing the ceremony.
Those guests that join you on the cruise will get a great price too, as they will be booked at group rates which are significantly lower than individual rates. A "group", for most cruise lines is 10 people, so this accommodates most wedding parties quite well. Though any size group can be accommodated if booked far enough in advance, cruise weddings are ideal for smaller groups. Let me give you an example. I have a client right now that is planning a wedding with approximately 30 guests; just close friends and family. It is a second wedding for both bride and groom, so they didn't want a huge wedding like they each had before. The wedding ceremony performed by a local wedding Officiant, and an hour and a half reception that includes wedding cake, champagne toast, open bar, and hot and cold hors d'oeuvres will cost them in the neighborhood of $2000. That price does not include the cost of the cruise, of course, as that is their honeymoon, but it does include the bridal bouquet and groom's boutonniere, a two-tier wedding cake, sparkling wine and chocolate covered strawberries in the couple's stateroom, wedding music, a photographer, and 2 champagne flutes. Upgrades are available, as well. For this couple, the cruise wedding is ideal, and will be a very memorable experience not only for them, but their guests, as well.
So close your eyes and let your mind create pictures of your cruise wedding. What do you see? If you find yourself smiling while thinking about it, you're probably on the right track! Your wedding day is probably one of the most important days of your life. It can be everything you ever dreamed of and even more! Consider having your wedding on a cruise ship. You'll have the time of your life, and so will your guests!

Bandung Culinary Guide
Many people visit Bandung, the capital of West Java province, to pamper their taste buds. You'll be amazed with what Bandung has to offer. From various food sold on street vendors to haute cuisine, every visitor will be able to find something to their liking here, in Bandung.
Sundanese (the people living in West Java are called Sundanese) has tempting refreshments. Sundanese food tends to be bland yet tasty unless you add sambal dadak (chili and other ingredients grinded together) to your food. If you're looking for more spicy taste, just add this sambal dadak with nasi timbel (steamed rice formed into a roll inside a banana leaf) and other specialties. This mouthwatering treat is too good to be missed! Usually sour vegetables soup (sayur asam) is accompanied by nasi timbel.
Sundanese people eat vegetables a lot. Sometimes they even eat raw vegetables (called lalap or lalapan) like cucumbers, tomatoes, coriander leaves, eggplants, cabbages, lettuces, and so on. Lalapan is usually accompanied by sambal dadak.
Probably one of the most well known dish, timbel, consists of nasi timbel, lalapan, sambal dadak, a piece of chicken (fried or roasted Sundanese style), fried beancurd, fried tempeh, a slice of jambal (salted fish). If you want to, you can add gepuk (slices of beef, mixed in traditional herbs, then fried), pepes (main ingredients such as fish, chicken, mushroom, etc. mixed with crushed and blended herbs, folded into a banana leaf, then steamed until they're ready to eat), sauteed greens, and others. Nasi timbel is a favorite among locals and visitors. Batagor baso tahu goreng (literally means, fried meatballs & beancurd) is one of the most well-sought specialty. Made from blended fish and beancurd, with a special peanut sauce, batagor's popularity remains constant.
People with sweet tooth might fancy pisang molen, an Indonesian traditional pastry filled with banana and cheese. For a variation, try brownies kukus (steamed brownies). Es cendol, made of blended/grinded rice, palm sugar, and coconut milk, is delightful on a hot day. While for a colder day, you might want a taste of bandrek or bajigur.
Bandung also offers various milk products most notably, yoghurt. Basically there are two kinds of yoghurt in Bandung the thin one, and the thick one (French style).
Hot snacks ala Bandung are widely sold throughout the city. Among them are gehu-toge tahu- (beancurd with beansprouts and vegetables filling), pisang goreng (fried banana), cireng-aci goreng- (fried tapioca), and many more. You might be interested in trying other snacks such as, nangka goreng (fried jackfruit), peuyeum goreng (fermented cassava, fried), nanas goreng (fried pineapple), and so on. Ketan bakar (roasted sticky rice) and jagung bakar/rebus (roasted/boiled corns) are also recommended.
Nasi goreng (fried rice), although not originally from Bandung, is always the locals' favorite. The ingredients vary, according to people's preference. Sometimes the rice is mixed with seafood (usually shrimps, pieces of cuttlefish, pieces of crab's flesh), chicken and vegetables, mutton and vegetables, salted fish, and so on.
Cakue, a dish made of flour dough then fried, is also worth a try.
Bandung also has other kinds of restaurants, like Padangese (food from West Sumatra, very spicy in taste), Javanese (sweeter in taste), Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Western, Indian, and so on.
Getting There
Fondly called Parahyangan meaning, Land of the Gods, Bandung has both metropolitan and homey atmosphere at the same time. Full of eateries, factory outlets, and malls, many people find going on a trip to Bandung both enjoyable and memorable.
Ways to reach Bandung from Jakarta may be as many as to Rome, so to speak. You can ride trains, buses, or use the many shuttle services with hourly schedules. Flights are less favored because the time it takes to travel to Jakarta's airport (Soekarno Hatta) and check in may take longer than travelling by car.
Getting Around
If you have multiple destinations in mind, you'd better rent a car for a day (or two). There are taxi services in major streets and malls. Other parts of the cities mostly use public transportation called angkots, which are only recommended if you actually live in Bandung.
To Stay
Bandung has it all, cozy little inns to five-starred hotels. Just click the Find a Hotel button. Or see our Travel Directory (West Java --> Kota Bandung).

- If you're not certain of local customs, language, menu, etc. don't hesitate to ask!
- It is advisable to learn a few important phrases in Indonesian. Not all Indonesians can speak English well.
Bali: Simply the World's Best Island
Probably the most famous island in Indonesia, and probably is more well known for its beautiful beaches.
Bali has been awarded the World's Best Island 2009 by Travel & Leisure Magazine (www.travelandleisure.com)
Bali is also called the Land of the Gods, due to its sheer beauty and miraculous sceneries. Bali will appeal to both urbanites and suburbanites, for this exotic island has many things to offer, from sophisticated dining and meeting experience to exhilarating treks in the wild. Indeed, this relatively small island contains lots of miracles.
A miracle indeed, for after all these years, Bali still can amaze both local and international visitors. You can find interesting variety of people here, from the ones who prefer to surf in the beaches of Kuta, Sanur, Jimbaran, Uluwatu, Dreamland, Nusa Dua and others, to people who love the serene view of the mountains and lakes in Batur, Kintamani, and Beratan Lake in Bedugul. People continue to flock to Bali, for it serves as a beacon of good time filled with magical moments.
Getting There
With the increasing number of direct flight to Bali from some other parts of the world, it makes it easier to go to Bali. From Bali, flight to Jakarta is about 1.5 hours, to Singapore and Perth (Australia) 2.5 and 3 hours, to Hong Kong about 4.5 hours, and to Sydney/Melbourne about 5.5 to 6 hours, with various airlines offering their services.
Just make sure you look for "Denpasar (DPS)" instead of "Bali" in airline time tables. It is the capital of Bali. And the international airport's name is Ngurah Rai.
Another way to reach the island is by ferry, crossing from Banyuwangi, East Java for 30 to 45 minutes to Ketapang. From Bali, you can also reach Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara through Padang Bay seaport with transit at Lembar seaport for a total of 4 hours of travel.
Of course, you can always check your travel agents for more travel arrangements.
Getting Around

There are many modes of transport to help you get around in Bali. A variety of excellent half day, full day and overnight tour packages are available from your hotel desk or any of the numerous travel agents and tour operators which abound in Bali. Or you can find a car and driver who will also act as your guide.
Whilst walking about, you will be barraged with constant questions of "Transport, transport?". Competition is tight and many drivers know several languages. Tell the driver your desired route and negotiate a fee.
An important virtue to have while on the road in Bali is patience! Although the road system in the heavily populated areas is quite reasonable (condition wise) in comparison to other developing countries, it can be heavily congested at peak periods. Ceremonial processions often overtake the whole road so if you're caught behind a procession, enjoy the colorful experience.
In less populated areas, roads may not be sealed and the famous "gang" (very small road just big enough to accommodate one car, but very often two-way) is ever present no matter what area you may be in.
Walking is still one of the best ways to see Bali. You'll be close to the action. Don't forget a sun hat and bottle of water. If you're walking in Kuta be wary of the undulating footpaths and open access holes placed every meter or so in the footpath. Every so often, the access holes are left open or the lid is broken, which can result in a nasty fall especially at night.
The public transport system in Bali can virtually take you anywhere you want to go but slowly. Buses and bemos are often over-crowded and hot and are recommended for short trips only. Wait by the side of the road and one will inevitably pass by for you to flag down to stop. Get out where you want, by loudly saying "STOP!" Metered taxis are readily available at very reasonable prices.
Bicycles are available but bear in mind heavy traffic in Kuta, Legian and Denpasar. Bicycles are ideal in Ubud and the countryside if you're fit. A few companies offer mountain biking excursions.
If you're feeling brave, hire cars and motorbikes are the thing for you. You will need your license from your home country and an international driving license for renting a car and a special permit available at police stations for renting a motorbike. The rental company can help you obtain this, but it can take half a day of your precious holiday time. Types of cars available are usually small jeeps or Kijangs (larger car with room for 6 people).
One way to beat the traffic is to go by air! Air Bali can provide helicopters and seaplanes for joy rides or charter. Or go by boat. One ingenious individual who wanted to avoid the flooded and traffic jammed by-passed it by chartering a boat from Benoa Harbor to Nusa Dua. It's all possible in Bali!
To Do
Too many to mention. You'll realize it soon after arriving. Part of the miracle of Bali is that, even in modern life, most Balinese still adhere to their unique traditions, especially the Hindu ones. Spirits are respected and sometimes worshipped, and rituals have integrated themselves into the daily lives of the local people. Many artists consider Bali both as a haven and heaven. Too many people have tried to capture the spirit of Bali into paintings, sculptures, even writings and more will continue to do so. Bali provides endless fascination and inspiration. Hence international, annual event like Ubud Readers and Writers Festival.
But enough about inspiration. How about perspiration? 
A number of beaches in this island are the favorite resorts for surfers. While some others offer variety of water sports or family recreation, such as banana boats, parasailing or jetskiing.
In the northern part of Bali, there are Kuta Beach, Sanur, Jimbaran, Uluwatu, Dreamland, and Nusa Dua, to name a few. While on the other side there are the attractive Lovina, Amed, and Tulamben beach. For mountainous nuance, devotees will find Batur Lake at Kintamani and Beratan Lake at Bedugul to their liking.
Other than Bali, there are number of small islands nearby like Nusa Penida or Nusa Lembongan. Both small beautiful islands also have nature fascinating sceneries.
To Stay
Many beautiful resorts offer fine lodgings. Most of the starred hotels are located near the beach. Otherwise, they usually have their own private spots at certain beaches. You can find them easily at popular spots like Kuta or Sanur.
If you're in a serene highland like Ubud, forget starred hotels. You're there to embrace the atmosphere. Just pick one of the small lodgings lining up the streets. And even the smallest one's ready to make you feel welcome.
During the 2007 Ubud Readers and Writers Festival, a man in a wheelchair checked in at a small inn on Monkey Forest. He had some difficulties in navigating through the stairs to his bungalow. He then left for the Festival. When he returned at night, the owner had already paved an ascending lane to his bungalow. That's a typical Balinese hospitality.
When you've already picked a certain destination in Bali, just check out our Travel Directory. See what options are near.
To Eat
Like the food of other regions in Indonesia, Balinese staple food is rice, served with small portions of spicy, pungent vegetables, fish or meat and served almost always with sambal or chili paste. Bali is a few of the regions in Indonesia whose majority of its people are non Muslims, thus babi guling or roasted suckling pig is a specialty, as is bebek betutu, smoked stuffed duck wrapped in bamboo leaves.
In Jimbaran area, for instance, you can sample seafood dishes while sitting on the beach. Visit this place in the evening, the cool atmosphere and caressing breeze will make your dining experience remarkable.

For Muslims, don't worry about not getting 'halal' food in Bali, because there are also many food stalls and food center that are safe to be consumed by Moslem believers. Start from green beans, ketupat tahu (rice boiled in a rhombus shaped packet plaited young coconut leaves mixed with tofu), bakso (meatball), satay, rujak (spicy mixed fruit), satay lilit (usually fish twisted on a stick), pepes (burned/steamed wrapped fish), ikan bakar (roasted fish), and many others. These kind of food are very suitable to be served with pelecing kangkung (a hot spicy leafy vegetable), and hot sambal. Various kinds of traditional snacks are also tempting to be tested such as bubuh injin, laklak, jaja uli and many others.
The safest tips to choose restaurant, certainly is asking the restaurant officers. Must be noticed for Muslims that most restaurant in the hotels serve international menu which are often unavoidable in using pork.
To Buy
There are thousands of giftshops in Bali. For the information click this link:

Tips
Here are some tips if you're driving on your own.
Remember to "hoot" your horn when going around curves on mountainous roads as it is very common to drive in the middle of the road here. There are a lot of one way roads in Bali. If you miss your turn off you may have to drive quite a distance before being able to turn back. Be alert!
We highly recommend you fill up at any of the numerous government owned petrol stations. In more remote areas at stalls by the side of the road sell bottles of clear liquid. The quality may not be as good as at the petrol station and could cause damage to the rental car.http://www.indonesia.travel/en/destination/73/bali
The Great Temple Of Borobudur
Borobudur temple is an ancient site once considered one of the world's seven wonders. Built in the 9th century, this temple has Gupta architecture of India's influence. Constructed on a hill about 46 meters high, Borobudur has about 55,000 m3 of stones. And it was built without using any kind of cement or mortar at all! The structure's like a massive interlocking Lego blocks without any glue.And it stays strong and firm even after going through ten centuries until it was rediscovered in 1815, buried under volcanic ashes.
Borobudur's design symbolizes the structure of the universe. This terraced ceremonial structure consists of six levels below a square-shaped level, and three levels above a circular level, with a Buddhist stupa on the top. Stupas are also found on every level. This design influences temples in Angkor, Cambodia.
Another interesting feature of Borobudur is that it does not have a worship room like other temples; there are long and narrow alleys with walls surrounding the temple on every level. In these alleys, it is believed that Buddhists perform a walking ceremony around the temple by circling it to the right. This type of roomless building and multiple levels is believed to be an evolution in terraced structures, and symbolizes the original architecture of the Indonesian pre-history era.
Situated about 41 kilometers northward from Jogjakarta, Borobudur offers spectacular sight in this modern world. No doubt, this great temple will always be in the mind of those who visit it.
Getting There
Borobudur is only 1 hour away by car from Jogjakarta. You can either join a tour or rent a car to this spot.
During your journey to Borobudur, you can also enjoy the fresh cool air of Magelang city with its roads lined with big and shady trees. Borobudur itself stands tall against the Menoreh mountain range that surrounds it.
Entering the temple compound is easy. You can do it on foot. Or you can chart a cart (pulled by a horse) at a reasonable price.
Getting Around
Explore this site on foot. Climb this magnificent temple and marvel at various carvings on the stone around you.
For visitors with children, you will not want to miss the massive green grass around Borobudur site. You will certainly miss a great experience if you visit the great temple without knowing its history and importance which are captured on its many reliefs.
There are also guides to walk you around as they explain the history of this site, built during the Syailendra dynasty, for only Rp50 thousand (about US$5.00). Many philosophies can be studied about the meaning of life from the reliefs of this temple.
To save money, you may choose to walk through Green Park from the entrance. Although there may be many vendors who would chase and offer you souvenirs, they would do so in an orderly manner. Regulation says that they are not allowed to disturb visitors.
To Do
For better understanding of this temple, you can join a tour or hire a licensed tour guide here.
Marvel at the magnificent view. Climb the temple to reach the top, where you can see an vacant space signifying emptiness as completion. Feel the wind blowing gently. Try that Titanic pose if you want. This temple won't be hitting any icebergs.
There's a superstition saying that if you climb this temple with one wish deep in mind, reach your hand inside the bell-like stupa, and succesfully touch the Buddha's figure inside it, your wish will come true.
Take note of the stone carvings. There are many stories in these stones. Time to make that guide worth your money. Ask about it. If you're a writer or a poet, these stories might inspire you.
Another interesting thing about Borobudur is the Menorah hill on its north. If you look at it carefully, the hills contour is in the shape of a sleeping person. That makes Borobudur appear to stand tall beside a "sleeping person". This is your cue to get your camera ready.

Visit the Land of Heaven
According to myth and legend, the single ancestor of the Toraja people originated from heaven. This myth passed into legend as it was told from generation to generation. Today the people of Toraja continue telling the myth that the first ancestor of the Toraja used "stairway to go down from heaven", the functioned of this stairway was as a media to communicate with Puang Matua (The Only One God).
The name of Toraja was given by the Bugis Sidendereng tribe and the people of Luwu. The Sidendereng people named the population of this region "Riaja" ("The first people inhabiting the upper part of country or mountainous area"). In the meantime, the people of Luwu called these people "Riajang" ("People inhabiting in the west"). Another version is the word 'Toraya' coined from To (Tau = people), and
Raya (coined from the word Maraya = great). The two words together mean "great people", or noble man. Eventually, the term morphed into Toraja. The word "Tana" means country. The Toraja inhabitants were eventually known as Tana Toraja.

Julia Roberts Begins Filming in Bali
Gilbert's best-selling autobiographical recounting of her post-divorce travels in Italy, India and Bali is to become a Columbia Pictures (Sony) film starring Roberts, Javier Bardem and Richard Jenkins.
Bali filming is centered on areas in and around Ubud and Bali's southernmost beach with cast and crew staying in various five star hotels on the island.
Filming got off to less than a smooth start on Thursday, October 15, 2009, when the villagers of the village of Benyutung demanded Rp. 200 million (US$20,000) in compensation for the use of their village in the film. This demand, according to local press reports in Bali, was precipitated by rumors of large sums being paid to other Bali locations being used in the film.
The Regent of Gianyar, Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardana Sukawati (Cok Ace), is reportedly mediating local villagers' demands with the film's production team.
Filming is also scheduled to take place in Ubud's famous monkey forest in Padangtegal, Nyuh Kuning, Pengosekan and the traditional art market in Ubud.
Cok Ace, who is also the leader of Ubud's royal household, has issued a special invitation to Julia Roberts to his Palace for dinner. It remains to be seen, however, if the notoriously reclusive star will set aside time on her schedule for visits with Cok Ace or Bali's governor.
Those hoping to steal a look at Julia Roberts or a Hollywood film in production may be disappointed. Elaborate security perimeters are being set up at filming locales that keep the general public at a minimum distance of 500 meters.
