Any of you have any idea what is going on with the Ubud market? I have been away for almost four months and I am still shock to see the market is still the same and nobody repair it!!
If I am not wrong probably has been already one year since got fire isn't it? how come they don't do anything? been Ubud and the market one of the most important tourist places on Bali, it seems like local government or local people don't really care or what. They are not ashamed to have the market like that? maybe not, many locals still thinking always will be tourist.........
I am not talking about tourists, I am talking about the 100 or more sellers who are piled downstairs like sardines, has not spaces, or got a very tiny space to put their things and have to take them away every day, the rainy season has start already and probably they are getting wet.
It is not about tourists, it is about their own people, local people who try to make a living and have a income and probably pay rent or taxes for having a place to sell things.
Ubud doesn't have money? the government doesn't have money, the palace doesn't have money? Monkey Forrest doesn't get enough money to spend in Ubud? where all the millions of the entrance tickets goes? is about nobody knows who has to repair it or take care of? or what? is too difficult to paint it and repair it? it was quite new.
For me it is shocking the market still empty, ugly, broken and totally black and nobody really care about that. It is so sad that the people who has power or money don't care at all about the others Balines who fight daily to get a income, and it is sad that those people has not initiative to fight for their rights if they have any.
Maybe there is something on the back I don't see, why for me it is so annoying to see the market abandon like this and for them it is ok, tidak apa.
To me it is seems like in Ubud people are more and more on business and less and less on community.................maybe they are too busy building villas and homestays with swimming pools behind their houses and built up hotels everywhere.....Ubud is changing so quick, fancy mini hotels with attach rooms sitting on the entrance of the room looking at a swimming pool, of course, clean, perfect, pure and modern but without "spirit or charging",one could be in Kuta, Puket or another country on the world...........before, the home stays in ubud you was sitting down on the door of your rooms and you have frangipani, trees, plants, statues, beautiful gardens, small things with water or see the local families doing their offerings or their things......
Better to stop, enough for one day!!
Sorry, maybe I needed to speak out!!
