good question. No idea. I didn't ask, and wasn't there as a laid-off tech worker. :) I was visiting a friend who moved there a decade ago, and scootering around the island.

So, I had good food, met lots of interesting people, read books in beautiful places, and saw beautiful sites.

I called it 'a research trip for bringing better scooter norms to the USA'. Bali's scooter game is fire!
