DENPASAR, Bali (Bloomberg): Wayan Sentiani, 36, is earning barely a tenth of what she used to from selling t-shirts and sarongs near Kuta beach. For about a decade, she would get up to 2 million rupiah (US$140) a day from mostly Australian, Chinese and European shoppers.

"Yesterday, I opened the shop from 7am until 7pm and only sold a piece worth 75,000 rupiah. Most of our days here go by like that,” Sentiani said.
