    What is the most significant difference between living in Jakarta and Bali? Are you planning to move to the capital city?

    The stark difference is activities after dark. Jakartans can work from morning to night, then go to cafes and bars for after-work activities with officemates. They literally go home for sleep only.

    Balinese workers go straight to their home after working; and they prefer to eat at home.

    Adapting Balinese work culture, I make sure my employees don't work overtime. Everyone should finish their works by 6PM. Overtime is done when there is an urgent job that takes longer time to solve.

    As a public figure, you definitely have been experiencing malicious comments online. How do you deal with them?

    Just exactly a night before I departed to Jakarta, Nana asked my opinion about closing all of our social media, and living completely without them.

    To be honest, I don't care about hate comments, but Nana's case is different. She is quite sensitive to what people think about her and our family. 

    But at the same time, instead of running away from social accounts, I think we need to embrace them. There are many positive things on social media. Just focus on happy moments and ignore hate comments.
