    Escape to the Country

    March 16, 2024 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    I've now seen the madness of Denpasar so Carol organises a car and driver to show me traditional Balinese life in the country.
    This means lots of rice fields (and temples).
    We went to Jatiluwih Rice Terrace which is also included in a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage listing for the cultural practices of Bali. The rice farmers here are paid to use traditional methods to keep it as it is and tourists come and pay to take pictures.
    More details (https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1194)
    Afterwards we went down a narrow forest path to have lunch, (with Nasi Goreng of course) at a warrung overlooking more rice terraces. We could even see a farmer plowing the rice paddies with oxen. You can't get any more traditional than that.
