The Balinese Youth on Their Hinduism
page 4
Religion: The Balinese exercise a riot of Hinduism mixed with animistic beliefs. As the
natural character of the island slips away, one rice paddy at a time, they still
ceremoniously practice their faith, donning their sarongs and headwear, and offering
gifts to their gods. Just how long Balinese Hinduism will last is up to the present youth to
decide. In this piece, over 40 Balinese youth were interviewed about what they think will
happen.
Bali’s Markets

page 11
Food Ethics: A discussion about the major differences between ‘supermarkets’ and the
traditional ones. In an island where the East clashes extremely against the West, Bali is
perfect for studying things as basic as nutritious food and actual community. Learn
about traditional markets, how the supermarkets generally contribute to human
devolution, and what ‘foodies’ should be about.

happens when inflated ex-pats retire in ‘third-world’ tropics spoiled with Western money
and amenities on all sides?
