Bali is one of more than 18,000 islands (based on a satellite view) in the Indonesian archipelago, and is just over 2 km (almost 1.5miles) from the eastern tip of the island ofJavaand west of the island ofLombok. The island, home to a little over 4 million people, is about144km (89mi)long from east to west and80km (50mi)north to south. The word "paradise" is used a lot when describing Bali. Friendly, hospitable people; a magnificently visual and spiritual culture; and spectacular beaches with great surfing and diving have made Bali the top tourist attraction in Indonesia. The vast majority of international visitors to Indonesia go nowhere else but Bali. This popularity is not without its bad sides—once paradisiacalKutahas degenerated into a congested warren of concrete, scammers and touts
