Menemukan Keromantisan di Balik Teduhnya Perbukitan Bersama Hotel Alila Ubud
Tidak heran jika banyak pasangan yang rela jauh-jauh mengambil penerbangan ke Pulau Dewata demi sebuah momen romantis yang berkesan. Pasalnya, eksotisme dan romantisme Bali tersimpan begitu kuat di setiap sudut-sudut kota. Kendati pengaruh modernisasi jelas-jelas terlihat dan membaur bersama sebagian raga dan rohnya, tetapi kekokohan budaya yang menjadi karakternya tidak membuat Bali semudah itu goyah….
Totalitas Tiada Batas
Petang di Mexico tahun 1968. Para juara telah turun dari podium dan penonton mulai beranjak pulang, namun tiba-tiba para penonton berbalik arah seraya tercengang tak percaya ketika melihat seorang pria berlari pincang dengan kain membungkus lututnya yang terluka berusaha menyelesaikan perlombaan.
