As we’re finally nearing the end of what has been dubbed “the longest year” by some people, we here at Coconuts Bali think it’s time to revisit the year’s most popular stories.

 

There’s no doubt that 2020 will always have a special place in all of our lives, for the very real fact that it’s the year when the coronavirus puts the world to a screeching halt. But news doesn’t stop even during quarantine, and though COVID-19-related news make the bulk of our stories, we’ve still got some Coconutty stories from Bali in the mix. Just in case you have missed some of that, let’s take a look at Coconuts Bali’s most read stories this year (in ascending order).
