7년 전 신입 공채시험을 보러 잠실중학교에 갔었다. 다닥다닥 붙어있던 그 많은 교실 중에 하필이면 내가 배정된 반에 먼저 입사한 신입사원 한울언니가 시험감독으로 들어왔었다. ‘엥. 저 여자 인상이 되게 좋네’가 언니의 첫인상.

노예를 자처하는 입장인 주제에 나는 해당 기업에 대한 좋지않은 이미지를 가지고 있었다. 근데 시험감독은 이상하게 인상이 좋길래 인상에 남은 그 여자를 같은 팀 동료로 만나게 됐을 때. ‘어? 이사람 뭔가 나랑 인연줄의 냄새가 나는데..’ 하는 동물적 직감이 들었다.

같이 지지고 볶고 일하던 그 시절에 언니랑 퇴근하고 마시는 맥주가 그렇게 맛있을 수가 없었다...생맥주 히야시 때문이 아니라 노가리 대신 씹는 상사맛에 취해 둘이서 울고 짜고 욕하면서 상암동 맥주를 죄다 목구멍에 부어댔었다. 지금은 몸과 영혼을 사리느라 둘다 500짜리 한 캔도 제대로 다 못마시지만..

야튼, 현재 우리는 둘다 회사를 박차고 나왔고 난 이제서야 한울선배가 아닌 울구언니라고 부르며 종종 얼굴보며 지내고 있다.

작년 연말 갑자기 언니가 나의 삼재퇴치 발리여정에 합류할지 고민이라길래 그냥 실없는 말을 던지는 거라 생각했었는데 내가 발리에 도착하고 일주일 뒤, 언니는 내 옆동네로 비행기를 타고 바로 날라왔다. 언니는 가뜸 그런 뜬금맞은 행보로 날 자꾸 헛웃음 나게한다. 내게 몇 안남은 웃긴 사람 중 한 명이다. 동시에 가장 똑똑하고 따뜻한 사람이기도 하고. (인간이 똑똑하면서 따뜻하기 어려운데.) 개떡같은 이 업계에서 올곧은 가치관을 지키려하는 언니의 변함없는 태도. 같은 업에 종사하는 입장에서 정말 대단하다고 생각한다. 여러모로 많이 배우고 있다. 믿고 의지할 수 있는 언니가 생긴 것 같아서 좋다.

인생 신기하지. 우리는 무려 전직장동료 사이였는데!

+ 여행이야기 번외편..귀국 전날 운 안좋게 감기에 걸려서 컨디션이 난조였다. 그런 내상태를 알면서도 언니는 해맑은 목소리로 화산투어를 같이 가보지 않겠냐고 물었다...난 원래 남이 짜놓은 투어 따라다니는걸 극도로 싫어한다....그래도 똑똑한 울구언니가 추천하는 액티비티니까.....그래....여기까지와서 만난 것도 기념인데....근데 화산투어는 뭘까...뭔지는 모르겠지만....재미나 보람 ..둘중 하나는 있겠지....내게 남은 100달러 한 장 털어 감행해본다...그렇게 언니와 나는 꼭두새벽까지 날밤을 새고 울루와투 화산 트래킹 체험을 하러 떠났다...

사약커피와 밀가루전....교도소 사식같았던 모닝브렉퍼스트로 투어 시작....AM4...산골짜기를 후벼파고 들어가는 1시간 반의 여정......이러다 스무스하게 인신매매를 당하는 것은 아닌지......긴장을 늦출 수 없는....낭떠러지 위 폭발직전의 트래킹카.....성당 다닐 적에 구약성서로 읽어본 적이 있는 죽음의 파리떼 목도.... 타국에서 중범죄를 저질러 강제연행을 당한다면....느낌이 이렇겠구나...

덜컹거리는 차안에서 하루 반나절을 보내니 머리부터 발끝까지 뼛골마디가 욱씬거렸다. 신체적 고통을 수반한 피로 덕분인지 귀국 전 쓸데없는 상념들은 사라졌고, 고행체험에 가까운 투어를 비싼 돈주고 왔다는 사실이 어처구니가 없어 언니랑 배아프게 웃다보니 복근 운동도 약간 됐다. 의외로 이득인 부분. 내 인생 첫 액티비티 투어. 여러모로 임팩트가 있었던 추억으로 남을 것...같다.

Barong - Day 25

Race: Avatar

Alignment: Light-Neutral

April 24th, 2024

I'd like to start this daily demon spotlight with an admittance of bias. Barong is my favorite demon in the series, bar none. In celebration of making it to 25 (!!) days of this series, I've decided to let the holy cat out of the bag. Barong is the demon that introduced me to Balinese mythology, has saved my hide several times throughout the series, and has an adorable and unique design to boot. He stands right next to, if not above Black Frost and Chernobog in my book. Past that, though, I would also like to say- thank you all for sticking with me for 25 days! It's been so damn fun, and I plan on continuing this series for months, if not years to come. I know it's a little early for the ivories, but the small community that has been built up over time has given me so much life and energy!

With that sappy stuff out of the way...

Today's demon of the day lies in the form of the great panther, protector of mankind, and host of all things good, Barong. Bali mythology is surprisingly easy to look through, having solid roots and foundations, as well as its origin being in a somewhat small subset of Indonesia, though this isn't to say it's not complex. Balinese mythology takes a unique form, one similar to the worship of Ame-no-Uzume, wherein several of its stories aren't plays nor grand tales, but rather, fascinatingly hypnotic dances. Barong's appearance in these dances is that of a glamorously decorated (and very ambiguous) animal that I would personally say looks somewhat, vaguely similar to a lion?

However, the type of animal it is isn't that important, and admittedly just makes me confused. What is important is Barong's role in Balinese mythology, that being of a protector of humanity itself- in the mythos surrounding Barong and its eternal rival Rangda, Barong represents good health, good fortune, and has reign over all the spirits that inhabit the small province. The most prominent myth featuring the great avatar is recanted in the famous Kris dance, a dance representing Barong battling with Rangda. During the hypnotic trawl, dancers bring swords dangerously close to hurting themselves, though they emerge unscathed, watched over by two dancers in an ornate harness holding up the avatar of Barong who dances furiously behind them.

The dance begins with two monkeys and Barong engaging in dance, though quickly escalates as witches sent by Rangda attack the frolicking group. The dance-drama escalates from there as Barong tries to reign back control over the kingdom, which had found itself under siege by Rangda, eventually leading to the most iconic scene of the play, wherein two palace guards stab themselves with kali daggers in a desperate trance under Rangda's control- though they emerge unscathed as Barong comes to the rescue and engages in battle with the witch, protecting the guards with his holy magic. After a long and fraught dance between Barong and its rival, eventually, the holy avatar emerges victorious, and the kingdom is returned to peace and prosperity.

Barong is not just an artefact of the dance, though- he's an important figure in Balinese tradition, one held in reverence and good spirits, and the dance is simply held to represent the eternal struggle between good and evil, as well as celebrate the triumph of the love and goodness that Barong represents. People equipped in Barong costumes even, on occasion, parade around Balinese towns in order to ward off evil spirits and bad luck. Barong is locked in a never-ending battle against Rangda and the forces of darkness, yet never gives up hope; As a Bali volunteer in the Bali Volunteer Program puts it, "Once the trance is over, Barong and his supporters finally overthrow Rangda. But she does not die. Instead, she reincarnates and Barong must defeat her again. The fight never stops. It is symbolic of light’s eternal strife against darkness."

In the SMT series, Barong is depicted faithfully, though far more blue than red. Decorated in jewels and studded in silver, the Balinese lion dances in combat, easily connecting to the dance-dramas the beast is so frequently depicted in. Interestingly, a common series staple is that of Rangda and Barong's fusion leading to Shiva, and while unconfirmed, I have an idea as to why this may be the case. While Barong and Rangda are from completely different mythologies, they both represent opposing forces of light and dark, something that Shiva, a god of destruction who is not evil, is an inherent blend of- Shiva is both light and dark, good and evil, while Barong is good, light, and Rangda is evil, dark.

All in all, Balinese myth's hypnotic dances and beautiful performances lend to an amazingly designed demon that truly fulfills all it sets out to do, represents an underrepresented mythology, and stands out as my personal favorite demon in the series. Next to Chernobog and Black Frost, of course. And also Parvati. And Mother Harlot. Am I just edgy?

Exploring Bali What to Know Before You Go.

🌴 Exploring Bali: What to Know Before You Go 🌺

Hey wanderlust souls! Planning a trip to the enchanting island of Bali?

Here are some insider tips to make your journey unforgettable

Embrace the Culture: Bali is rich in tradition and spirituality. Respect the local customs, dress modestly when visiting temples, and always greet with a smile and a "Salamat Pagi" (Good Morning) or "Salamat Malam" (Good Evening).

Pack Wisely: Bali’s weather is tropical, so pack lightweight and breathable clothing. Don’t forget your swimsuit for those crystal-clear beaches and waterfalls!

Transportation: While taxis and ride-sharing apps are available, consider renting a scooter to explore the island at your own pace. Just remember to always wear a helmet and drive safely!

Sample the Cuisine: Indulge in the vibrant flavors of Balinese cuisine. From mouthwatering satay skewers to spicy nasi goreng, the local food scene is a feast for the senses.

Mind the Monkeys: Ubud’s Monkey Forest is a must-visit, but be cautious around the mischievous inhabitants. Keep a safe distance and avoid feeding or making direct eye contact with them.

Stay Connected: Bali is well-connected, but Wi-Fi can be spotty in some areas. Consider getting a local SIM card for reliable internet access during your stay.

Stay Eco-Conscious: Respect Bali’s natural beauty by supporting eco-friendly initiatives and avoiding single-use plastics. Remember, we’re all responsible for preserving this paradise!

Explore Beyond the Tourist Hotspots: While Bali’s popular destinations are undeniably breathtaking, don’t be afraid to venture off the beaten path. Discover hidden waterfalls, secluded beaches, and quaint villages for a truly authentic experience.

Stay Safe: Bali is generally safe for travelers, but it’s always wise to exercise caution. Keep an eye on your belongings in crowded areas and be mindful of your surroundings, especially at night.

Leave No Trace: Last but not least, leave Bali as beautiful as you found it. Dispose of your waste responsibly and make memories, not souvenirs.

Get ready to embark on a journey of discovery and adventure in Bali! Let the island’s magic captivate your soul and leave you longing for more. 🌺🌴
