Happy Nyepi Day!
it's a Balinese's Day of Silence that falls on Bali's Lunar New Year.
During the day of silence, the streets are completely empty, except when there are the Pecalang, the security men that patrol the streets to make sure that the people of Bali are celebrating Nyepi Day the right way. They mustn't do the following prohibitions: no lighting fires (and lights must be kept low); no working; no entertainment or pleasure; no traveling; and for some, no talking or eating at all.
For the tourists who was visiting Bali at the time, had to follow the tradition and didn't do anything from the prohibitions list.
I've never celebrated Nyepi Day before, but I wanted to :) someday..
