Most Stories about Bali anf the Balinese are dominated by the impressions of foreign visitors as if the Balinese themselves have little to say. The truth is that the Balinese, too, have as many remarkable tales to tell of their experiences with foreigners as we do of them.
Tragically many of the great story tellers, such as I Gusti made simung have passed on depriving us of first hand accounts of early days. In their place a new generation has matured, assuming their mantle. Their stories span the breadth of a transitional age, during which the the Balinese were catapulted from an isolated medieval world to the highways and byways of the Internet.
