Leonard Lueras has spent more than half his lifetime traveling across this "incredibly rich and great archipelago," as he described Indonesia, and publishing books about it.
"I'm one of the [few foreign] journalists or writers who actually live here," the 71-year-old American veteran journalist told Tempo English. He has lived in Bali for over 40 years.
Tempo English spent an afternoon chatting with Lueras in his uniquely designed and beautifully curated two-storey home at a villa compound in Sanur, Bali.
Deborah Gabinetti is quick, gregarious, and emotivean immediate presence as soon as she enters a room. Yet she gives the impression of someone who is used to listening and observing. She will stop in the middle of a story to check your reaction, is not afraid to let pauses linger, tilts her head at you when curious to know what your take is on a situation and persists until she receives an answer.
When Tempo called Balinale's hotline to inquire about the festival, it was Gabinetti who answered the call. "This is Deborah. The director of the festival. Yes, I'm picking up calls," she said, laughing heartily, when asked who was on the other end of the line.
