We had resisted traditional dance shows for the entire trip, but we broke down on our last day while watching the tourists watch the sunset at Pura Uluwatu. We went to see a dance show afterwards, which consisted of about forty young men mostly sitting in a circle singing. And by singing, I mean swaying to music and chanting something like "Uga, uga, uga". It sounded more like a football cheer than anything Balinese. At least it wasn't as scary as most Balinese dancing, which consists of heavily made up girls with enormous eyes, shifting their eyeballs back and forth to the rhythm of the music.
