It was by a coincidence. One of blesses during my East Java-Sumbawa trip's that I met Opan, my very accommodating “guide”, a friend of friend of my friend. Never met him before, but unexpectedly I got not just a 10 days stay in his parent warm – welcoming house but also this chance to experience a short life in Bungin. it included a challenging experience of Nyulu, stabbing crap or fish or any sea creatures with long spear.. (actually I caught nothing but watched and screamed! *you know I love animals* :p)
You may check Andari (director) and Opan’s (cameraman) work about Bungin; the Crescent Moon Over the Sea, a movie that won JIFFEST Script Development Competition 2006.
Other article tells interesting facts that I witnessed them my self, such as the paper eating goat (if I can add, the goat that behaves like a dog, so mingles to human) and the way this island is getting bigger by coral rocks formation built by residents.
