Bali has been hit by rain in recent days, making many places difficult to access. Heavy rain can cause traffic jams and some attractions are closed.
But there are still some popular tourist destinations that are open and filled with tourists. It’s only natural because December is a prime season where tourists from all over the world flock to Bali.
One of the most crowded tourist destinations is the kecak dance performance in Uluwatu. The legendary kecak dance performance, presented at Uluwatu Temple, atop a cliff, always draws enormous crowds.
But in this rainy season there is a different scene that appears from visitors wearing colourful raincoats and makes its own sensation.

“Like kindergarten children on a study tour,” wrote another netizen.
