Wayan Krupuk's 2003 Agenda

(11/11/2002)

Wayan Krupuk's Bali 2003 Agenda is a 7 x 9 inches bound agenda presented in a cow-friendly, high-quality imitation leather cover.

Fortunately, all the days of 2003 are there - we counted all 365 of them. There's even place to jot down numbers, addresses, appointments, and alimony due dates. But, perhaps the true value of this very non-mainstream agenda lies in its faded photogenic glory.

Not Word Salad. Just A Table of Contents.

Ubud maps. Doctors and dentists. Chinese restaurants, flower shops, and auspicious day to cut your hair. The Princes from the old Kingdoms and the ferry schedules to Gili Nanggu. Where to eat in Klungkung. The legends and histories of this magical isle including poems, stories, and proverbs. The gallery of the gurus, gamelan masters, and puppeteers. Kampong queens with secret recipe's for Nasi bubur. A 20-page phone book conveniently arranged by international jet-set cities. The global pop culture - from movie stars to sporting heroes, from fashion victims to trance dancers. Offerings of frangipani and clove. Roadways choked and fuming. Lyric poetry and song. Photographs from rice fields to warungs. The night you danced with the Ogoh Ogohs. Plastic streamers glinting in the sun, kites that Whrrrrr in the sky. The airlines, the clubs, the restaurants and the bars. The holidays and the festivals. Archival photos from the expat community-before there were real estate brokers. The tidal charts, the surfers, the painters and the guitar players.

Confused? Probably. Entertaining? Undoubtedly. Think of it as Bali's answer to the Farmer's Almanac.
