“We moved to our village and had been there for about four days when the power went out. We went down to the beach and came back and the lights still weren’t coming on, and it was getting to dusk. Other lights were starting to come on around the village. I wandered down to the local warung, which is kind of like a cross between a restaurant, a 7-Eleven and a local newsagent. I told them about the power outage. They explained that you have to buy what’s called pulsa listrik, prepaid electricity. You get a token you type into your meter, and that gives you a certain amount of electricity. We didn’t have a car, didn’t have a scooter. They explained that they couldn’t sell me what I needed and that I had to go to another place up the road, but I didn’t know how I would get there.”
