i've been trying to remember the Sasak village i stayed in ( homestay with the local teacher) but a quick google search brought me no luck.

During the google search i got distracted by this little bit of info:
"The village across the road has the little friendly name Mata Mailing, 'thieves eye'. In several parts of Central- and South-Lombok thieves are admired as long as they steal from other villages (often cattle) and share the profit. Stealing dates back from the time that there often was hunger. Smart cattle thieves were proud of their title 'masterthief'.
