We're starting today in a region called Bahadope.
It's located on an island in the eastern part of Indonesia.
So for a long time,
this area was covered by dense rainforest and there were only a few thousand residents living in and around Bahadopi and most of them made a living out of farming or fishing.
Only a decade ago, driving through this area was pretty much impossible.
So there were no paved roads here, no electricity.
When mining executives first started coming to Bahadopi to explore for nickel,
they stayed in inns or small huts.
One executive said he was given a candle by an innkeeper when he first visited here.
But late last year, when my colleague Anantha Lakshmi drove through the main town in this district,
she experienced something totally different.
I was quite surprised by how fairly developed it was.
The main street in the town was lined with dozens and dozens of shops selling food, vegetables.
