    There are [5] photos from Indonesia

    Bali has a devastating litter problem. Plastic bags were introduced within the last 25 years, and proper disposal is a heavy issue. This bridge over a small gully was filled with trash and burned, sending a 40-foot plume of smoke and flame into the night sky for two days. Views[359] The local laundromat is a great place to meet and gossip. My friends here depend entirely on the neighborhood's laundry for their livelihood, and have a difficult time in the rainy season, when line-drying slows to a halt and tourism dries up. Views[278] Performers rest after their modern dance piece at the 2007 Festival Kesenian Indonesia (Indonesian Arts Festival). This performance involved the sea, driftwood, and over 50 painted performers; it is indicative of the changing face of the Arts in Indonesia, and is highly influenced by Western performance art. Views[1067] Tourism within Indonesia is a relatively new phenomenon. Here, at the Bali Culture Park, tourists visit from elsewhere in Indonesia. Most signs are in Bahasa Indonesia, and the experience is geared toward Indonesian nationals. Views[324] Bali's younger generation depends greatly upon the income provided by tourists. The draw of Balinese arts and culture is undeniable, yet fragile. An example of this is the complex rite of marriage, which can take an entire day, and can cost the couple the equivalent of 5-months' wages. Views[270]
