As a village child from Kintamani, I really love my hometown. I am originally from Kedisan Village, Kintamani. My grandmother and grandfather lived in Kedisan as farmers. When I visit to my hometown, I usually help them to plant things such as onions, cabbage, chilies, corn and many more. Moreover, I help them to water those plants every morning and evening. So, I usually do it in my hometown.
