I loved and miss it so much. I will say that there was just as many ants as the U.S. Garbage is a problem! But, I would love, love, love to live there. It is my goal, for at least 3 months a year.

I went on a school trip to Indonesia many years ago and we took a large bus through Bali, and onto a ship to Java. 2 weeks later when we returned to Bali, we had to take a massive long detour because we were told that a bridge we traveled on had since collapsed in the 2 weeks since our bus crossed it!! So we missed out on most of our days we were meant to spend in Bali before leaving. Java is totally different to Bali too, I stayed with a host family and they were amazing in their hospitality.

Pak/Mbak Lucu Balinese, don't forget the bule prices (not tourist) like bule is an ATM. Also that no respect towards foreigners, always laugh at them and they cheat them. However there are also many silly bule who goes there for Eat Love and Pray. Lol. 😁 have no clue about anything. I can't stand those bule. One more: the no problem mentality. If anything happens in traffic or anywhere else, bule is the reason. Bule is to blame, regardless of who is right.

Not to mention not only Balinese live in the island, same like not only Californian live in Los Angeles. We usually respect foreigners not because look at them as ATM like you said but we live from tourism in ages, we welcome them and eager to learn their culture/language as well from them in return we expect tourists who visit the island respect our culture as well.

@@topofthetreev6263 what are you talking about? Im half Indonesian, been to Bali many times. I dont speak bahasa very well, but enough to know what is being said. Do you know how often i caught them asking me prices that were almost 10 times what they asked locals? See a waterfall, and they try to get you to pay 200k. When it's free!!! Or taxi drivers, those are the biggest scammers. They will say the meter wont work, blabla, and ask you crazy prices. Im not stupid so i just use go-jek or grab, but i see what they do with tourists. And usually i tell the tourists to use the app aswell, and the taxi drivers will become angry. But i think they are their own enemy, if you would ask me a normal price i wont care. Also, thinking you can scam tourists because they block the go-jek and grab drivers to enter the airfield or train station is just a joke, like i cant walk 5 minutes to get to a go-jek or grab driver. Saying people dont see tourists as an ATM is just a lie. And i lived in Bali and Java for a long time, so i know what i am talking about. Especially because i usually start out in English, because i know most drivers love to practice their English. And when they are on the phone or whatever i can hear how they speak about me and i will tell them they are being "kasar" and i can see the shock on their face and they apologize. Same thing when renting a motor, when i start in English the price will be 5 times the normal price. So please, stop with protecting people who dont deserve it.

My daughter and her girlfriend wanted to go snorkeling, so booked it and the boys took them out and when they got there they said there's so much rubbish in the water so the girls got the boys and they cleaned up the rubbish in the water and yes they went snorkeling. When they got back I asked them did you have a lovely time, they had a great time and I could tell they felt good about their clean up haha. There's never much mentioned about Sanur but I really love it there, very relaxing but probably quiter then other areas but it's a great place to stay at, good food too, just lovely walking in the evening and have dinner, big choice right overlooking the water and lit up with lighting, just love Sanur. Handy to get a driver staying at the resorts and go sightseeing. I'd live there if I could but being Australian you have to come back to Australia every 6 weeks, just too much unfortunately. Have a great stay. It's really a Paradise.

I think the locals and viewers would appreciate and respect it, and would be a good response to this video as “being the change we wish to see”. Anyways, cheers man!

Hey Luke I'm not sure how long you have been in Bali - but I think it may have changed over the last year. Yes, totally agree with the amount of rubbish. Have seen entire trees washed up on the beach and teams of people hauling it away. Each day they spend hours cleaning up the beach, only to find it in exactly the same state the following morning. There use to be way too many people hassling you to buy their wares either along the beach or outside stalls on the road. Indonesian food and Bintangs are lovely, but there is huge variations in prices across Circle-K stores.

Almost every supermarket short changers you when giving you change, this is so annoying on principle. 6. Card skimming at ATMS 7. Shocking quality of cheese / dairy products in short supply at supermarkets. 8. Bad walkways/ pavements. 9. Mosquitoes. 10 Humidity.

Thing I don't like: - Corrupt police (In Indonesia in general, in Jakarta I had a bad experience with this, (fake) police trying to scam me, they just stopped the taxi I was in wtf.. in Bali it isn't that bad I think though) - Rude tourists (I feel for the Indonesian people sometimes lol, but at least they spend money :) - People that snatch bags, phones and steal items (never happened to me, just use common sense like everywhere else, it's pretty safe, just heard a lot phones stolen and snatching bags on bikes) - Places like Canggu getting TOO touristy (still a fun place for parties and maybe connecting with entrepreneurs (most are just starters though). - Mosquitos that carry Dengue (very rare lol, out of the thousand(s) people I met probably 1 person had it). I don't want to discourage anyone, the food, people and nature are very nice (except a very few). I still probably will go back there tho, I made nice Indonesian friends. Ok this was my random youtube comment for today

@@temastudio5275 @Hendri Soh About 5 policemen stopped my taxi to the airport at late evening (I wanted to catch my flight home and I was alone). They said my passport missed a stamp, and they wanted me to go to the ATM and pay them 200-300 dollar. I was like wtf is this shit (but I acted calmly), and I started to video record them because they didn't let me go with my passport. When I recorded them they told me to stop recording, and I acted like I stopped, and then they gave me my passport back and let me go. The taxi driver didn't say a word while the police tried to scam me, probably because he was scared? Or he was part of the scam? Not sure. It was an official taxi. Afterwards he said like 'police bad' though. I was so relieved when I finally caught my flight and my passport was actually fine. So for the tourists: just video record the police if they try to scam you. They will get scared that their career can get hurt. I actually think you can get them fired if you want to go that far? I still like to visit Indonesia though, and I have made a lot of friends there . I don't think this is a common situation, but it can happen. I never had heard of this scam before it happened to me.

I lived in Sanur for a year. In the west we are hammered about plastic pollution but most of our plastic at least ends up in landfill the plastic that floats in Bali's waters comes from the main island of Indonesia. In Sanur where the taxis sat they would throw their plastic over a stone wall in to a wooded area. But here in the west we have garbage cans and local garbage pickup by the councils in Bali they don't, maybe they don't pay the taxes we do which is probably why it's so cheap to live there.

Well done my brother. Glad you are enjoying the paradise that is Bali. Being a Black Aussie I always find it interesting to hear what African Americans think of the biggest o/s holiday destination for Australians. Good on you for maintaining an open mind and having a holistic view of the place. I’m also Hindu so it’s always frustrating when you hear criticism about an Island that is more complexed than what many Australians think of Bali and particularly how they consider it to be an extension of Australia. Best wishes and keep the great videos coming.
