You can find me in Bali at the Pratap Bazar, not too far from the Rani Station. It’s a busy little area, especially when the trains come in and everyone is rushing around to get their shopping done or head home. My space is right in the middle of all that activity. I’ve been here for quite some time now, so I know most of the other shopkeepers and the folks who live nearby. It’s a noisy place with people calling out and the sound of the station nearby, but I like the energy of it. I don't have a big staff or any fancy equipment. It’s just a simple setup where I can talk to people and take care of whatever they need. Some days I’m just sitting there watching the crowd go by while I wait for the next bit of work to come in. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, and the floor is a bit worn down from all the footsteps over the years, but it works for me. I don't see the point in making things look polished when the work is what matters. People know they can find me here during the usual hours. It’s a practical life, and being part of the local market keeps me busy enough without having to worry about much else.
