I've gotten lots of free gifts in Bali: kilos of home roasted and ground coffee to take home, 3 kains (sarongs; nice patterns, no calf poo), several Udengs (traditional headgear), a priest's bell, lot's of food, of course. Last month I went to Sukawati to purchase 2 small printed flags for a dance group working in my country; the shop lady asked about the poles they should be fixed on, and when I replied I can't get them into the plane she presented me with two of those carved wooden crowns you usually see on top of the parasols. Maybe it's just me, but I have a feeling it's just you. Karma is not something that happens to us, it's something we create. Greetings from the Real Bali, wherever that may be...And now, I will secure for severe flame....
