We have a very nice private room, with a private bathroom, in a homestay situation. Balinese don't really own separate homes as several generations of a family will live together in a walled family compound comprised of several buildings and a courtyard space. The family compounds can never be bought nor sold, and are simply passed down from generation to generation. We are staying in a typical family compound where the family rents out several rooms to tourists.
It is very hot and there is no airconditioning, nor are there screens on the windows. There is a very nice breeze and a ceiling fan. With the windows wide open to our room, we have already been visited today by a butterfly, a gecko, and a bird who flew in one window, became very confused, but quickly found a different window to depart from. While our room really is very private from other humans, I guess we will be sharing space with the wildlife for the next few weeks.
