Cannot help but notice...
Across from my house is the construction of a single villa which, six months ago, was a paddy field. I'm told all the workers are Balinese so we have yet not been involved with them, other than wave and smile.
Another development, next to my house, uses imported labor from Java. We are friendly and provided Javanese (halal) food as my driver's Javanese wife is a good cook.
From my upstairs window I see the toil and manual labor and the skinny physique of all those workers.
Tonight, I'm watching the inaugeration of the 560 legislators to the Indonesian Parliament...not one is skinny...conversely...most are grossly fat!
I ask myself...do Indonesians have issues between those that DO and those that TALK...or is diet and diabetes a long-term problem for the affluent.
