Composer Robert Walker describes life on the Indonesian island of Bali, to which he emigrated in 1992, settling in the village of Karangasem.

Government corruption is rife and yet does not lead to sackings. Those working in public office routinely expect bribes to be offered to oil the wheels.

Walker gives the example of what it cost him to get his visa renewed - a price equivalent to the return airfare to and from the UK, paid to an official chewing a toothpick and with a penchant for practising golf shots in his office.

He also encounters the handsome young Balinese men who target the growing number of middle-aged Australian women settling on the island. Having paid for the weddings and their husbands' new businesses, they often find their spouses' libido being exercised elsewhere.
