Slowly and Grudually the day to put on the Bedeg came.

Bedeg is a bamboo matt that you use to protect your roof.

A part from being stunning it also gives a surten life to the house.

For Wayan & me the Bedeg meant to scrub alot of Bamboo mats.

The time was really practical as we used the time to practice english and Bahasa Indonesia.

Couple of days later we found out that one of the men from Wana Giri has felt down from the roof and hit his head and injured his jaw.

Next day we picked up Putu and drove him, his younger sister & brother to hot Singaraja.

The Siblings proudly wore their university jackets with the huge emblee that proved that they were some of the few people in Wana Giri that had received a schoolorship to attend university.

As we drove down the slopes of Munduk the change in temperature was remarkable. Once we arrived to the hospital it felt like we were in a sauna.
Putu finally came out from the hospital. We all got relieved as we found at that it was "just" a light head concusion and nothing serious. Putu proudly showed us his massive scan that showed all diffrent angels of his skull.

The last thing Putu said with a smile before fallling a sleep in the car was-Pasti panas Singaraja, Pasti dingin Wana Giri, which is like saying- This place is for sure hot, Lets go to Wana giri where it is cooler.

When someone get sick or an accident happens you will normally in Bali found the answer in that the Gods are unhappy, Your own Karma, un paid karma from the Anchestors or Black magic.
The men from Wana Giri came to the conclusion that the reason why Putu fell of the house as because the Gods been unhappy. The reason was that he been peeing from the roof.

To say sorry to the Gods a small cermony had to be arranged. The priest came and the men from Wana Giri promised that no more peeing from the roof would happen...
