Lombok Life

Buzzing with activity, Lombok life is full of colour. It is Bali as it used to be, where you can get up close to the everyday lives of these welcoming people.

The hustle and bustle of our journey to visit Teanjah Anjah took us from Mataram in the West to the new village site at Teanjah Anjah on the South east coast.
Every corner in the road brought new surprises. Armed with a new camera, these snap shots of Lombok Life hopefully give you a taste of the real Indonesia.



A common site in the early morning are the local farmers heading to the traditional market (pasar). Here with Bananas and Jack Fruit.



There is always room for two more on the local angkutan umum (bus)! These kids are heading to a high school near Praya and like every student in Lombok, always in smart uniforms.
Selling is a necessity here, any place, any time, any where. Here pretty in pink is selling batik at one of the countless Bales along the roadside. It is an opportunity to stop, rest and chat to passers by.
The extended rain season has given many farmers the chance to plant April padi fields. With the work done, the boys have time to fly their kites.
