I and Ayu were on the gala opening of 2008 Ubud Writers and Readers Festival that took place at Saren Place, Ubud, Bali on October 15, 2008. This year is the 5th Festival that has been performed. The Festival comprises 4 days and the theme of this year is Tri Hita Karana which is the Balinese concept of balancing Man, Nature, and God.
This festival has been attended by about 100 writers with other participants such as journalist, academics, readers and sponsors. Maya Ubud is one of the main sponsors of this event.
The opening was started by the first speech from Tjokorda Gde Putra Sukawati from Ubud Royal Family, following by the words from Festival Director of Janet de Neefe, the Bali governor of Made Mangku Pastika, and the Ubud Royal Family’s member of Tjokorda Raka Kerthayasa. In the end, the traditional Balinese dance closed the opening gala.
