Any one attended one - I did recently, and wonder what the general opinion/feelings people out there have had about this "cultural" gathering experience ....
It is not something that I would attend again, but would like to understand what happenes here at these gatherings. The Betting and chanting was overwhelming and I didn't quite no or understand what the betting arragement was all about. With 80 or so men placing bets here there and everywhere ... it was very confusing.
What is the storey behind the grooming and training of these poor little creatures, and how does it fit into the bali way of life.
I did find it all quite disturbing ...
