Interview with Putu at Bali Ayu in Kerobokan Bali

When I arrived in Bali in Jan 2003, the first person I took a liking too was a lady named Putu. She worked at Ryoshi Legian. I visited her family in Mengwi and in the last year or so I have not been to Ryoshi. One of the staf told me Putu worked at Bali Ayu hotel, so I took the opportunity to see if she was around. Showing up I was thinking ‘the guy probably made a mistake, and even if she works here its probably her day off or something’. Asking the receptionist for Putu, he directed me to the spa, where she works as a receptionist.

I have checked out this hotel before. Its a cute little place with affordable rates. When I got to the spa, Putu was smiling with 3 of the ladies who also work at the spa. There were no customers, something that might become the norm, and we joked that this was a low stress job. Putu told me she wanted to try something other than working at Ryoshi, and still wanted to expand her work experience.
