you are quick to shout 'rubbish'. Do you know any Balinese over 35 years old that you have a good contact with? Take it slowly, some subjects are embarrassing. Begin by stating you heard it was disrespectful to step over Gamelan instruments, ask them them why, really stick with it. Then ask about clotheslines, you heard or read somewhere about people not liking to walk under hanging laundry. Why was that?? If you have a good, frank contact you will hear something interesting. Belief systems are always undergoing change, and some parts of Bali change faster than others. Perhaps 10-15 years is should have read 20-25 years, I'll give you that. I know more and more people on Bali who are building additional stories on their homes. Check it out before you start screaming at me again.
