Bali Bomb Memorial
This is a memorial to the 202 people murdered by the bombs on October 12th 2002, and is on Jalan Legian opposite the corner of Poppies II. This is the former site of the old Paddy's Bar, and opposite the former site of the Sari Club, which is still an empty space, next to the Billabong shop. Every year on the anniversary date there is a ceremony mourning those killed or wounded by the bombs. Whilst viewing the memorial, please be calm and silent out of respect. The local Balinese will often be curious to learn if you knew or were related to any of the victims.

Beach offerings
In the mornings you regularly see Balinese people throwing offerings into the sea, especially when Nyepi is approaching. The best spot is the temple right next to the beach about 200 to 250 metres to the north of the Hard Rock Hotel.
Hard Rock Hotel
Nestled against the shores of Bali's famed Kuta beach on an impressive three-hectare prime site right in the heart of Bali's entertainment and shopping district, Hard Rock Hotel Bali (Google Map) is Asia's first Hard Rock Hotel. Without a doubt, Hard Rock Hotel is something of a tourist attraction and is definitely worth a look and the odd photo.
