Story of Bali, Indonesia
You Can Bargain A Bit

In the country district where 1 grew up, money was scarce droughts and bushfires frequent. As a result, we lived off the land, buying nothing but clothing, and the criterion for buying that ~, as: "Will I be charged with indecent exposure without it?" Ornaments for the home were simply dismissed as wanton extravagance.

Small wonder i have become a sucker for sales. A certified (or certifiable) compulsive buyer. That little four-letter word SALE acts on me like a syringe on a dope addict. Let something be marked down to half price and instinctively I know it's what I've always needed. I remember once buying a stuffed emu and 20 yards of a positively revolting gold brocade, simply because it was fire damaged and "reduced". This little lot has followed me half way around the world, and now lies in my garage, a musty warning against folly. And still I will not learn!

The only reason I don't own a fork lift of a Bengal tiger is that, so far, I've never seen one on "special" at a sale!

Imagine me, therefore, in Bali - which has the soft sell to end all the sale signs. The oft-repeated phrase, enticingly whispered, purred even, in your ear "You can bargain a bit!"

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.
