Nusa Penida, Klungkung Island 

In human history of Nusa Penida, we should keep in our mind as balinese from Klungkung, Bali. Difficult live, dry, big wave of the sea in Nusa Penida made all balinese should working hard to treat our live , but social live always in live as red of fire although " corn porridge" become their daily meal . These island stay on south east part of Klungkung city. How hard this live would never leave my imagination. But i always proud with my grand-parents who teach me to stand up in all live condition.

Balinese in Nusa Penida  who comeback from transmigration rebuild their temples, village, home and social live by " Dana Punia " to the villages in Klungkung part as Sampalan village, Gunaksa village, etc. Hi, i find many outsiders travelling but never show up attempt as Balinese from Nusa Penida. Mmmm........may be habit to create a negative conclusion for my Bali!!
I am proud as balinese lady !! Balinese language is used for our daily activity or working. Unnecessary  to use others due i love my balinese language!! English would be used when communicate with my foreigners friends and working place.

Stronghold bali hinduism culture has built great mental spiritual of balinese ladies. Naughty habit never arrive to my own live. Creative habit should always packing up on balinese mind. It is big wrong way when outsider make conclusion and annoucement on local publication as television about balinese ladies who have changed to be impolite ladies ( Ladies on the road !! ) who have leaved our bali custom and hinduism culture, if outsiders are human, " Please stop.......to do discrimination or screaming for balinese ladies"  It could be wise, you should treat your wild to be human, this conclusion show up that your own quality so lack or stupid even wild !!! Balinese ladies grow up together as our bali island development. Upgrade habit controlling by bali hinduism custom and education -suitable as our capacity.

" Bravo.....Balinese ladies, Merdeka.....!! Bravo.....pretty KUTANESE !!! Big thank you for your sacrifice, Bali is Bali....!! May God Bless All Balinese Ladies!!!"
