The Ibu Chronicles

Life is Funnier than Fiction....well, it certainly is when you are a Western Couple with traditional Balinese parents, doing business and living in a Traditional Rural Hindu Village in North Bali.

The Ibu Chronicles are blog-like snippets of the daily life of an Australian woman and her Dutch husband. After moving to Bali, Indonesia, the writer Rachel and her husband found themselves assimilating into a Traditional Balinese life. These are the author's honest and humorous anecdotes about this couple's constant mistakes and constant lessons, living and working with a hilarious nagging Balinese Mother, Ibu.

Ibu means mother in Indonesian. Ibu is blunt, Ibu is demanding and Ibu makes sure working in Bali is never boring. Immerse yourself in these diary/blog snippets of Ibu, the writer and her husband doing business in Bali, Indonesia.

'Laugh out loud' and 'grab tissue' moments, together with the cultural insights shared by the writer, make this book a must-read for anyone considering working or living in Bali....or just visiting the Island of the Gods as a tourist.
