I enjoyed very much this journey through Bali : beautiful landscapes ( the seaside in Nusa Penida island, the rice fields, the forest and the waterfall) and nice encounters.
There are some interestings aspects of Bali: the growing and eating of the seaweeds (the seaweed plantation between Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan, the hand weeding made by Made Muslim and her sister-in-law, the use in the cosmetics industry, the exportation to China, Thailand and United States, the use of seaweeds as food-Wayan Ariani preparing the bulung at Dnpasar), the expatriates in Bali (Julien Couturier, the surfing instructor, Cléo and Théo- the digital nomads who have decided to saty in Bali, John Blundstone-creator of Bali Eco Stay and manager of an ecolodge with 8 bungalows., rice fields and a vegetables garden), the Balinese women ( three young Balinese women talking and working in a cafe, the schooling and the economic growth promoting more independent women), the environmenta protection (Bilal-the picker of metals, p'lastics, papers-,Kelly and Sam of the Sungaï association, the.barriers in the river for taking off the plastic wastes, the plastics recycling, their educational work), the mount Agung ( the 2017 volcano eruption, the destroyed rice fields, the undamaged Besakih temple-Jero Mangku Putu, the great priest-, Wayan Teg Teg and Gede, the guides making the ascent the mount Agung with Russian tourists-6 hours of walk and 2.000 meters of altitude difference, the beautiful panorama at the top) and the Bakti Negara-the Balinese martial art- ( the devotion to the nation, the self defence, Gus Koko-grand-son of one founder of this martial art, Linda learning some technics of self-defence).
