Ayu: Friend of Ika’s
Ika has many friend from all over Indonesia. She met them in the various jobs she did in the Kuta area. This morning her friend Ayu stopped by. Ayu is from Kalimantan and has that Kalimantan face. I met Ayu in the gym where I met Ika. Having friends stop by and chatting about life, kids and husbands, particularly husbands, is a popular way of passing the time out here.
The great thing or me is I don’t get to hear what is being said and don’t want to. This is one reason why moving to another part of Bali would be hard for Ika, her relatives and friends are in easy each in Seminyak and up in Ubud, there aren’t that many Javanese people hanging out.
