Things can take some wild turns in Bali. Way back in the early 1980's , after couple of visits I had decided to explore living full time in Bali. So, I needed a way to survive, and since Bali does not need nuclear physicists, I decided to apply for a teaching job (I had also taught, but at the university level in the US for several years) in one of the couple of private schools on the island, at the time, but I understand that now there are many more. I did get a positive, but also bewildered answer from the Head of the Balinese school, and this started an exchange of letters and faxes (in those days, no emails). She was in favor of my being hired by the school, but their were several other members on the school board who were rather skeptical about how/why a nuclear physicist, having worked and taught at the prestigious California Institute of Technology, would, all of the sudden, want to teach little expat kids in Bali. During our exchanges, over several months, this person was going to get married to a Balinese man from Sukawati. Two weeks before the wedding, he got ran over on his bicycle by a car. The lady then married his brother instead (Some kind of Balinese tradition?). This was obviously a rather stressful time for her, and we stopped corresponding for several more months. When she resurfaced, she was back in the US, her marriage with the brother having collapsed rather rapidly...I never heard from her again, and obviously, my mentor at the Int'l School gone, I did not get hired!
