Participant : Marteen and Family
We left the hotel for an half day tour to see closely the authentic of Balinese life. First visit we made was SDN 1 Tumbu (The Public Elementary school located in Tumbu Village) to see the real life of education system in Indonesian. Interacted directly with the Kindergarten teachers and students, saw the class room, playing ground, the garden, library etc. It was a nice fun for the kid to find how the local students interaction amongst friends and teachers and also had a comparison when they get back home.
Then proceeded to visit the local pottery in Jasri Village. In the old time when Balinese haven’t introduced yet with modern stove and other kitchen utensils, all Balinese used clay pan, pot and the traditional fire wood stove. Now the pottery products are mostly used for ceremonies equipment, flower pots, and also ashtray. Our guests could join the class how to make the pottery with the master.
We continued the trip to visit other local home industry making Dodol Nangka in Jasri Village. Dodol is a traditional Indonesian sweet snack made from coconut milk, glutinous rice flour and. brown sugar. Dodol produced through a 4 hours process to get a very low moisture so it can preserve it for longer time. They are producing 2 variants; a Jackfruit Dodol and Dodol Tape (permented Grutten rice)
Last visit before going back home, we stopped at Sorga Chocolate, one of the local chocolate factory also located in Jasri Village. Guest made a short tour to learn deeply about the Cocoa, how to process the bean, and how to make the final product of Bali chocolate.
