Besides her are some 20 odd women, most of them market vendors, and the atmosphere is relaxed and carefree with many asking questions and cracking jokes. Pertiwi, 25, who recently gave birth to her first child, wants to delay the second by a few years but is not sure what birth control method to adopt. Fortunately, the answers are available close at hand; at the Pasar Badung marketplace where Tia works at a fruit stall.
