A schoolboy, his lesson books nonchantly perched on his head, pauses and asks the inevitable Balinese question - which is also a greeting:

"Where are you from?"

"Australia. "

"What are you doing?"

"Watching the sunrise."

The young face suddenly becomes serious. A pair of brown eyes stare inquiringly up into mine:

"Don't you have a sunrise in Australia?"

Food habits, 1 am convinced are purely a state of mind. In Bali dragon-flies, caught in the sawahs on the sticky end of' a bamboo sliver and fried in coconut oil, are esteemed a delicacy. In certain districts "hot dog" is not just an empty phrase. i have seen dogs, their feet neatly trussed together, strung on a pole across a man's shoulder, being proudly carried home from market.

Extraordinary the fads we develop in food. Vegetarians aside, most of us have some food we love to hate.

in Bali we must point out a very important distinction which the Balinese make between two clearly separate groups of ancestors. The first of these groups consists of the dead who are riot yet completely purified. This group is in turn subdivided in pirata, those riot yet cremated, and pitara, those already cremated. The former are still completely impure; the latter have been purified, but are still considered as distinct, individual souls. The second group consists of the completely purified ancestors who are considered as divine.
No contact is sought with the pirata, the dead who have not yet been cremated. Oil the contrary they are dangerous, Offerings must however be made for the redemption of their souls.
