Today finally did some work, actually have been busy a lot, o.a. for Sylvia from Kubu LaLang. The tropics should be relaxing but when you live here sometimes things are different. Ok had my swim, in the rain, had my afternoon nap. But that's normal...I was invited by a privately owned Hotel school, because the students had to practice their food serving skills. The teachers wanted to know a lot from me, why I liked Bali, what I thought about tourism how to improve it, what I thought about the students and so... I brabbled away a little, and I will be invited again, they promised me. For some seminars, and to do help in classes or something, we will see.The students of the Gianyar department of the Pansophia school with the director, teachers and your webmaster:http://bali-information.com/forumpics/pansophia.jpg[/img]After the free food quickly to the PLTGU meeting. Heard even more horrible things about this power plant. Actually it is a 30 year old plant, that is now somewhere near Jakarta. They will rebuild it here, because there will be a new one. The engineers have calculated that because of the cooling water needed for the plant, the sea temperature in the Lovina area will rise by 5 degrees!. This will mean that the fish and coral will die!Decided to create a protesting website for the group, have to think if this will not and how it will not interfere with my stay here, it's a political sensitive thing....The PLTGU meeting:http://bali-information.com/forumpics/pltgu.jpg[/img]-

[b]Pansophia and PLTGU[/b]Once again, the good and the bad. I don't know if your local group is working with any larger organizations, but it occurred to me that some of the international groups with projects in Indonesia, such as the World Wildlife Fund or UNESCO coastal and marine sciences division, might be willing to provide information, support, and/or resources.[url="http://www.unesco.or.id/prog/science/cms/co-index.htm"]http://www.unesco.or.id/prog/science/cms/co-index.htm[/url][url="http://www.wwf.or.id/"]http://www.wwf.or.id/[/url]Good luck! There is a lot at stake.behemoth
