Bali and the 'Post'

I know there is a long way from the printing machine to my home in Krobokan, Bali. But I never will understand, why it is not possible for The Jakarta Post to arrive at my home before noon.

Usually the Post comes between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Tourists, however, can buy the Post on the streets of Kuta, Legian or Seminyak at around 10 a.m.

I often complain at the agency that distributes it, Agency Astha in Denpasar, but without any success. And yet, for this "service" I pay Rp 100,000 per month.

As a journalist and press photographer I tell you: Nothing is older than the newspaper from today.
