A 58-year-old Japanese national who participated at the annual Maybank Bali Marathon yesterday reportedly died shortly after collapsing during the competition. According to local media, he is suspected to have died of a heart attack.

Bali was one of the world’s most visited “cities” in 2018 according to an annual index published by MasterCard, which estimated more than 8 million international visitors came to the Island of the Gods last year (FYI in case you were confused, Bali is not a city but an island containing multiple cities, but since that distinction would probably keep Bali off this list we’ll let is slide for now).

Residents of a village in Bali got a shock when they spotted a two-headed snake in their midst – a rare find in the wild.

The reptile was seen slithering in the central part of the Indonesian holiday island last week.
