Yanik and his wife Min, worked for a company that we used to buy from, before we learned the language . She was the office stunner, and all the men were swooning over her, and he was a handsome, incredibly strong, but very sweet silversmith, who was hired for his smithing talents and his "muscle", as legal equity is often accomplished by who's got more "power" in Bali.

They eventually were married, TWICE!! Once in a Muslim ceremony with her parents, once in a Hindu ceremony, with his parents.

They eventually went off on their own and enlisted Balibooty as one of their first customers . .they are living proof of the diginity and decency of Balinese family tradition, and the respect inherent in their relationship to each other, their parents and their friends, all of which would make many Westerners smile with envy
