My friend emailed me this yesterday.Very sad.
Speaking of which, get ready for some big price hikes next time you are in Bali by the way. Fuel went up 87% on the 1st of October. Almost everything is doubling in price already. I feel sorry for the locals here. They now have to find Rp 10,000 return on the bimo to get to the nearest market to buy food, and they work all day for Rp 25,000, if they work at all. I guess wages will have to go up too, but they are so desperate to work that they are still taking the same pay as before.
