Bali traffic

I have been a bit busy since returning home from our trip to Bali....mowing lawns, washing and cleaning etc.

Driving on a freeway yesterday I was being 'pushed' by a car to speed up over the speed limit. The driver was quite cranky and abused me when he eventually passed me at about 20k over the speed limit. I thought back to our week in Bali where in the chaos of Bali traffic not a person seemed to be angry. Neither did we see anyone get aggressive after drinking. It seemed that nothing fazed them.....a tangle of traffic with motorcycles weaving in front of taxis and trucks worked well without many rules being obvious. It would be good if Australians could be so calm when they get behind the wheel or a bottle.

In Bali the names of males come in a specific order. The first born can be Wayan, Putu or Gede. The second born can be Kadek or Made. The Third born is either Nyoman or Komang and the fourth is Ketut. After the fourth male child, the fifth starts off again with a name from the first list. Interesting Huh?
