    Longer and longer holidays

    I hope everyone had a relaxing day yesterday. I know we have many holidays in Bali for various ceremonies, which of course I don't have a problem with. But it does seem like a one day holiday becomes extended to days off before and after the ceremonies. For example at my son's school they...
