Dedication
We dedicate this book to Njoman Oka, our friend since 1961, with appreciation for all the things he has taught us.
The first Balinese we met and our first guide, Njoman even then had the reputation of being the premier guide in Bali, having helped anthropologists whose names are now legendary. In those days guiding was more arduous than simply taking a bus load of tourists to the barong show at Batubulan and then to lunch at a restaurant in Kintamani. Guiding meant exploration via byroads not well-worn by tour groups; it meant getting up at midnight to attend an unusual ceremony—essentially, it meant a hands-on introduction to a culture we never dreamed existed.
Njoman had a wealth of experience upon which to draw. He had been, among other things, a resistance fighter against the Dutch, Bupati of Tabanan, head of a school and director of a successful travel agency.
Njoman's reputation has been enhanced in the 27 years since our first encounter. He has been our friend at countless events and an advisor on every imaginable subject. It is no exaggeration to say that our interest in Bali was originally sparked by that first meeting. And this spark kindled a flame that has burned bright in our minds ever since.
Njoman has taught German at his beloved Saraswati school and remains active to this day guiding selected clients. Many members of his large family are reputable guides. He goes several times a week to Tabanan where he actively sponsors a Pasantian, a group of villagers who meet regularly to perfect their knowledge of, and ability to read and chant the sacred Hindu stories and scriptures. He writes frequent letters to the editor of the Bali Post, taking well-aimed jabs at developments he feels are detrimental to Bali's long term cultural preservation. He, of all the Balinese we know, has most successfully straddled two cultures, taking the best from East and West.
To Njoman Oka, we say:
Thank you for introducing Bali to us, and for your continued help and valued counsel. Had it not been for you, we probably would never have had the experiences that have occupied our minds and our pens for so many years.
