Lisca lingerie & swimsuits

The Spoke is one of the magazines that will go the extra step/mile/ KM or 600 of them in this case, just to bring its readers a fresh view at unique events, first raw view.

We were invited to Paris lately to attend the Prêt A porter, the world renowned fashion trade fair.

Bali: The Paradise Island
Jul 20, 2010 at 08:50 PM

The island of Bali offers a vacation experience like no other. Glorious beaches, lush rainforests, luxurious villas, and a fascinating native culture make this island a true paradise for visitors.

Bali is an Indonesian island on the western end of the Lesser Sunda Islands. Its capital is the city of Denpasar in the south. Visitors tend to flock to Kuta, Sanur, and Jimbaran, all southern coastal towns, but the central town of Ubud and other parts of Bali are equally compelling. Gleaming white and black sand beaches ring the island's shores, lapped gently by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Rich coral reefs surround the island and allow for superb snorkeling and diving. The island rises in mountains toward its interior, and bursts with tropical flowers and trees. Bali's rainforests are home to hundreds of species of rare birds as well as monkeys, bats, wild cats, and other creatures.
