		<description><![CDATA[** Although I&#8217;ve cut down on my publication of posts here over the past 6-8 months, it doesn&#8217;t mean I stopped writing entirely.

And three decades ago, the Balinese economy was largely agriculture-based. But now, tourism is the largest single industry. And tourist season is in full swing. So, [...]]]></description>
