I am a local, and I have to admit that you are totally understand 100% correct and very respectfull our local, big thanks for this video! These are very important things.
THANK YOU for this ! I’m half indonesian and I always get extremely frustrated with tourists who don’t give a f* about local culture ! I’d probably add to this list : dress appropriately according to where you are. I’ve seen people tanning in their bikinis right in front of holy temples…
I lived in Bali for 2 years after marrying a Balinese woman. It was one of my life’s greatest experiences. Your tips are useful - especially about driving a motor bike. I have been nearly killed more times than I would like to think. One time a dog ran out in front of me and my wife . We both went over the handlebars and my wife landed on top of me - knocking me out. Be very careful on the road !!!
I’ve seen many you tube videos from tubers , traveler’s that have been here for a few months that pain me , yet this from someone living here 26 years , is perhaps the first I found each point really accurate and thoughtful , great job and very aware of your surroundings !
wow, i totally thought this would just be one of the dumb clickbait videos influencers do these days... but you are very observant, considerate, and compassionate. it's so refreshing to see! you are truly beautiful and inspiring
@Simi yeah in Javanese, you can use "Mbak" or "Yu/Yuk" or "Mbak Yu" or "Ning" In Sundanese, there is "Teteh" or "Teh", Ceuceu, Eneng In Balinese, "Mbok" or "Geg" or "Mbok Geg" In Padangnese/Minangkabau, "Uni" In Bataknese, "Boru" In Ambon, "Caca" or "Usy" For reguler Indonesia, we can use "Kakak"
I love Bali, absolutely love the people, & the food & the hospitality are incredible. I'm finally returning on the 2nd of August & am absolutely looking forward to it. I only eat the local food & find that local warungs & street stalls are the best places for some of the most incredible , healthy, cheap , tasty meals . I'm also a fruit freak & stock up on local fruits including rambutans , snakefruit & the ocassional durian . This is one absolutely, beautiful amazing, friendly, stunning destination , & anyone that has never experienced such an incredible place, should consider doing so. Bali has absolutely won me.
Number 9 is so kinda important, and it's a daily basis activity. Most foreigners don't talk about this, but I'm glad you did. Edit: Because of some people who keep asking "what if I'm left handed" and some ignorant beings who bring religion matter to this right handed thing, I have to explain it here. First, it has nothing to do with any religion, some countries in southeast asia and in India also have the same habit, no matter what their religion is. Second, if you're left handed, let me tell you that many Indonesians are also left handed and they're still alive, nicely and peacefully here in this country. This habit with the right hand in not a strict rule, it's just something like a behavior that the LOCALS used to do in THEIR OWN LAND, daily and culturally. Just like how you bow to Japanese to show some respect, using right hand to shake hands, giving and receiving in Indonesia is just considered as a proper etiquette. But, normally, we'll understand if some foreigners have no idea about this thing. You'll be okay, I REPEAT, YOU'LL BE OKAY as long as you're being respectful to the owner of the land you're visiting. Have you seen any japanese who k!lls or beats up or spit on a foreigner just because they don't do the bowing? It's not that difficult to understand, isn't it? It's not that deep, duh. It's just up to you whether you want to respect the people of the land you're visiting or just act ignorant after knowing this. Either way, we're all good. 😊
Thank you so much for making such beautiful vlog about Bali, as a Balinese, I really appreciate it. We are welcomed to the visitor who respect our people, land and culture. point 13 about not entering temple with shoes, not all the temple has this rules but yes, some of the temple did not allow us to enter with shoes nor sandals, only with barefoot. do not wearing hot pants to the temple or unproper outfit :) and also for the women who is having period is not allowed to enter the temple as well. Thank you!
I have missed Bali so much. Normally we come at least once a year, but covid has stopped us. I love the people, the culture, the food and the beautiful beaches. Planning to come in August, with our 2 year old daughter. See you soon!
Wow, what a very useful tips. I came from another part of Indonesia and still do the same mistakes when I travel to Bali. Enjoy your journey and please come to other province of Indonesia.
dont use shiny things, the monkey could easily snatch it from you. lucky for me, there is a local around me and she give snacks to me and told me to do trade with the monkey. and yeah i got my sunglasses back.
Beautiful.....tidak hanya berkunjung tapi juga mempelajari/memahami budaya, tata krama yang ada di bali mungkin juga budaya INDONESIA yang terkenal ramahnya.... Good 👍👍
I've just come back from a wonderful trip to Bali and it didn't take me long to realize all of these things, it's just basic common sense. I've been respectful in every possible way and I've been repaid with the warmest kindness I have ever experienced in my life by the locals. The real reason to fall in love with Bali is the people who live there. Lots of love from Italy to all the Balineses.
I was born and live in Bali.. Thank you for your content which is very useful for people to adapt in Bali. I hope that tourism in Bali returns to normal so that many tourists come to Bali again. Thank you..
In my opinion, this is the best tips and tricks about do and don't in Bali. And honestly, it only take one Indonesian proverb to help you my tourist friend to enjoy Bali or anywhere else. That proverb is "di mana bumi dipijak di sana langit dijunjung" which simply means give some respect to place where you living right now. Keep up the good video, matur suksma :)
Terimakasih gypsy🙏 sudah mewakili dan menyampaikan pesan kepada semua orang umumnya...inilah kultur budaya , adat istiadat di Indonesia😇👍👍👍 saling menghargai hormat-menghormati serta ramah-tamah terhadap siapapun tanpa membedakan suku atau ras.🙏 I LOVE YOU Gypsy God bless U🥰
I am surprised You already know most of the Indonesian culture through Balinese culture this is really amazing information, and now you are Indonesian 👍 👍
I am so happy to come across your vlog! Your reminders show how considerate and thoughtful you are as a person. Bali (and Indonesia in general) needs more visitors like you. May you always have wonderful times in Indonesia ❤️
I've been many times to Bali. I love everything about Bali, it's even gone through my mind to stay there as the Balinese people are the nicest, kindest people anyone could ever meet. Love from Australia. Yes, I do ❤️ Bali.
Three simple things u must do as a good traveller : 1. You smile and you get the trust from local 2. You say hello and you get new friends 3. You feel comfortable and you get the paradise Dont forget we are always wellcome to the foreigner 🇮🇩✌🏻
Thank you for sharing things that are very important for tourists to Bali to know. I'm a Balinese living outside the island of Bali and I really admire what you have to say here. I hope you feel at home living on an island with thousands of temples. God bless you.
i was in Bali 31 years ago, just for 1 week, it was part of a world trip. i only spent 2 months in indonesia. most of your 14 things are common sense. Still its nice to see the respect you have for Bali. All i remember was the beautiful balinese dances, the food, kuti beach, speaking the language, that was fun!!
For me it's common sense as well, but it seems to me like visiting Bali was not the first time travelling the world for you. We mustn't forget that a lot of people that go to Bali are still very young, and haven't seen much of the world yet. I think that's why a video like this is still needed for some...
I love this video. Thank you It feels like a "How to respect Bali and Her people" and a "Here are a few customs that you may not have known about" video.
I am not Balinese, and I understand Balinese customs. You really respect Balinese culture, thank you, and spread the good news about Bali,,,,, greetings from Cianjur, West Java
No.13 isn’t 100% accurate, It should “don’t enter the temple when you’re in period”, it’s considere you’re in “dirty” time, you need rest and clean yourself. Lots of things to do inside balinese temple not just praying, and we need you to take care of yourself when you’re in period
Your chose word “dirty” it’s kind offensive to me as a woman who is obviously will have period time once a month or sometimes even twice!! We aren’t dirty/impure when it comes to period time, it is natural causes. Entering mosque is not prohibited so long not drip/leak the period blood on the floor mosque. Oh well, just have to respect other beliefs then.
Women on their period are not ‘dirty’. Like with indigenous people, Hindus celebrate the period as a sacred separate ceremony itself - so entering the temple or sweat lodge would be experiencing two ceremonies at once, which therefore does not honour the original ceremony.
We just came back from Bali and it was a beautiful island. But above all, the Balinese people/locals are the kindest, humble, welcoming, sweetest people I have ever met. We will definitely come back to see this amazing island again.
Thank You for sharing our culture to other people, it’s very important that people out there know what you just explaining , I hope then all the tourist will understand and be more respectful to our culture and tradition in Bali 👍
You must visit Mount Bromo, Ijen Crater, Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, Lombok Island, Labuan Bajo, Raja Ampat and many other beautiful places, because Indonesia is not only Bali, there are many other beautiful places. but thank you for educating and showing the beauty of Bali
Thank you for sharing travel tips to the new traveler, as a Balinese i do appreciated what you did, through this we could reducing miss understood and that is the way we learn the place we travel and also what we called cross culter understanding, you did a great job ! Bravo !
YAS , we need more people like you who understands different cultures and respects the traditions and the locals....Too many awful tourists in Bali over the years...
Some awesome tips , be respectful to locals is the major I reckon. I'm in the process of moving there for good. Thankyou your insights they are very important.
🙂💙💙hello i'm Scott from Australia in 2002 i went to bali for a holiday i LOVED it so much went there with my uncle and aunty we stayed at Legian we went there for 10 days had my 36th birthday there on Jimbaran bay beach at dinner during sunset on the beach was beautiful i also went shopping for myself at kuta markets bought 4 cotton ikat sarongs and 2 t shirts for me was nervous to barter for what i bought i still have the sarongs and T shirts i bought there to this day its always been a dream of mine to go there and i know everyone goes to bali but for me being disabled with spina bifida and i walk with canaidian crutches well i use them now but when i went there i used a wooden cane was not easy but managed anyway the only 1 down side to my holiday was we went 6 months after the sari club and paddys bar bombing one day we were on a tour bus going to a resturant for lunch further inland in bali well we drove past the boarded up site of the bombing site and it felt like we were in slow motion going past it well it did to me it gave me the chills at the thought of all the people that were killed and they were just spending the evening out enjoying themselves with their friends was heartbreaking at the sensless loss of human lives anyway apart from that 1 moment in time was wonderful to holiday in bali i'd love to go back there and see more of the island
big respect and thank you for your advice and I hope this applies to us as local tourists too. and for foreign tourists it would be wiser if you visit Bali not to get drunk and make trouble in public places.
1 more tips for me as Indonesian, our local foods is majority spicy. Ask or/and try a little bit of the food first. ☺ Anyway, tries other islands other than Bali, too. You guys will be surprised 😅 (Indonesia has many places and diverse cultures as well) 🥰 - love from Magelang, Central Java. (Where Borobudur Temple a.k.a the biggest Buddhist Temple in the world stand)
As a mexican who travelled there many locals warned me and seemed impressed by how well i handled it. I explained to them mu cultural dishes are also very spicy and we had a nice conversation about it 😊 locals are so nice and kind.
YES!!!! Bali is a beautiful country. Stayed in Denpasar for 29 days. Few years back in 2019. Went for my granddaughter's graduation, she studied medicine in Bali.... enjoyed my stay there. Visited many beautiful places. Especially temples and Holi places which are protected strictly, forbidden from touching the shrines. My stay there with my daughter in my granddaughter's single room house was in a village like place. People staying around were so kind n very friendly. Morning or evening, (when not going anywhere for sightseeing.) Will go for walking around to make friends, to my surprise, just a smile, they'll wish back politely n invited me in their house n served me with tea n cookies. Another house, It was Raya time, so enjoyed with Raya food. Mak cik packed food to take back. Even we pass by , they'll acknowledge, with so much respect n gorgeous smile. Wherever we travelled, grab drivers were so helpful and friendly. No heart to come back, thought of visiting Bali again. ( World wide lockdown put a full stop for travelling). So sad.🤔Now too old to travel.... travelling now, very expensive. Bali Indonesia is a beautiful country. Love Bali and her people for their hospitality and respect. I always respect individual's culture n their believes... religion is a most honoured n precious life... for every COUNTRIES.🙏 Anybody wants to visit countries. Bali, Bali, Bali Indonesia to start with. Love Bali so much.🌹❤️🌹 Everywhere marigold flowers are given importance. Lovely.🏵️🏵️🏵️
about bargaining things, it depends on what u bargain. mostly in tourism spots or areas in Indonesia, the prices of some things are more than twice or even thrice than normal. so for instance if the stuff is priced 200k, you actually can bargain it to 50k and the vendor is still gets profit. but once against, depends on what stuff u gonna buy. stuffs like (most type) of batik are indeed expensive, so dont bargain too much, but t-shirts, keychains, fridge magnet or some sort, u can bargain it like half the price or even more sometimes.
@@gypsyinsneakers sure! Glad to help. I recommend you to ask your local friends (not guide, not just local residents. Someone u trust) before buying stuffs. Im sure they know your area better than me, because every area are differs. Hope you enjoy your stay!
If you start bargaining and the vendor agrees your offer, don't think you can walk away and think about it - you have done a deal and in many cases they will follow you to your hotel - if you employ a driver to take you around always agree a price with no stops...it will be more expensive but you won't be dragged around art shops etc.
Hi, on behalf of Indonesians, I humbly thank you for sharing this to other tourists, these are very descriptive and spot on! how you could compile this list of big no nos I have no idea lol. You're a very attentive person :)
Hi, thank you for the good review that you gave to our country, especially about bargaining things... Many expatriates here especially from filipine and the other countries love to love to bargain in to the lowest price during the transaction.... Its so kind to find someone care like you... To open others people eyes and heart, its not only about grab the lowest price but its also about someone's income....
That is something I always do over there, is eat the local food, its cheap and very tasty, I also go for just under a month and still do not get to see all I want to.....Gilli Islands are also great places to go.
Just dont be wild and vulgar like kissing in the public or having sex.and in the beach the women sould not nude/not wearing bikini/or show there tits/boobs.
I have returned a few days back from Bali after a six day trip. Balinese people are very nice and friendly. As tourists, we must reciprocate the courtesy they extend to us. Everything you have said is quite accurate.
Dear lovely admin,, It's such a beautiful one, thank you for your knowledge and shared by fully wisdom ❤. But there's one important which is very important and probably common peoples will not understand easily. "don't enter to the temples during periods" . It's sounds like discrimination but truely it's not. Like I said above , it's understood by all of Hindu Priest and who exploring the principal of Bali Hinduism... Warm regards from southern part of Bali.. Wayan.
If you are in Bali and especially if you live in Bali, be grateful! You are in one of the most beautiful places in the world that SO MANY people dream to go to.
Thank you for sharing these useful tips! As Indonesian i totally agree with you especially no.8 dont bargain too hard.. be considerate.. even us Indonesians, we often give bonus to our rental car drivers or gojek drivers more than what they expect to receive. It always good to spread charity and make the locals happy!
@karen Smith 10-50k rupiahs should be enough depending on how much you spend. Usually we give tips to taxi drivers, people at salons/spa, people who clean and guard private villas, people who help you to park your motorbikes/cars. You don’t have to tip in restaurants/cafes though because it’s already included in the bill, unless if there’s a tip box near the cashier then it’s good to tip
This Lady is very correct in all she said. And I should know, Bali is a lovely place except for the trach that comes from so many tourists who should stay home.
May I add one more thing that many foreigners are doing but shouldn't, and that is to not wear a shirt (men) or to wear a sleeveless top (men and women). I am half-indonesian and I know how offensive this is to the locals. Just one thing to think about: what would YOU think if some women tourist came to your country and walked around bare-breasted because that is just what is common in their country? I know in Bali there are so many tourists and the Balinese are very patient and tolerant people so they might even have gotten used to the way the tourists dress, and they are much too polite to say anything about it, but I still cannot get used to it and it upsets me every time I am in Indonesia. And I don't think anybody is dressing this way because they want to be disrespectful, they are probably just not aware of the effect this has on the local people and probably have never consciously looked around to see how Indonesians dress.
Absolutely LOVE your posts and videos - thank you! I've gone twice a year for 10 years and I learn new things from you in each of your videos. Hoping to come back this October (my last visit was October 2019). Keep up the great work and thanks again for sharing!
Love your content. Keep up your great work and thanks for respecting Balinese culture 😍 Hope you enjoy your days while in Bali and in other places in Indonesia 🥰
15. Please do wear proper attire when visiting temples, attending ngaben/palebon ceremonies or another sacred places. Enjoy your holiday, stay safe stay healthy.
And the the note, Indonesia is not just about Bali, guys. There are still so many other places inside indonesia to come and to visit. Perhaps you can explore more places instead of just settling down for Bali and that's it.

@@upikabu1678 no, it's different. You can enter mosque when you're in period as long as you are sure that your blood wont leak out.
Your chose word “dirty” it’s kind offensive to me as a woman who is obviously will have period time once a month or sometimes even twice!! We aren’t dirty/impure when it comes to period time, it is natural causes. Entering mosque is not prohibited so long not drip/leak the period blood on the floor mosque. Oh well, just have to respect other beliefs then.
Women on their period are not ‘dirty’. Like with indigenous people, Hindus celebrate the period as a sacred separate ceremony itself - so entering the temple or sweat lodge would be experiencing two ceremonies at once, which therefore does not honour the original ceremony.
Some temples prohibit it btw
Beautiful thanks hun,I am thinking of moving to Bali soon..! So they were good tips. 😊✨☀️
We just came back from Bali and it was a beautiful island. But above all, the Balinese people/locals are the kindest, humble, welcoming, sweetest people I have ever met. We will definitely come back to see this amazing island again.
Thank You for sharing our culture to other people, it’s very important that people out there know what you just explaining , I hope then all the tourist will understand and be more respectful to our culture and tradition in Bali 👍
Thank you
You must visit Mount Bromo, Ijen Crater, Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, Lombok Island, Labuan Bajo, Raja Ampat and many other beautiful places, because Indonesia is not only Bali, there are many other beautiful places.
but thank you for educating and showing the beauty of Bali
Thank You for taking the time to create and share this wonderful video with us all ❤️
Thank you, you really respect the people around you, that's a form of a tolerant soul👍
Thank you for sharing travel tips to the new traveler, as a Balinese i do appreciated what you did, through this we could reducing miss understood and that is the way we learn the place we travel and also what we called cross culter understanding, you did a great job ! Bravo !
That's cool
I’m Indonesian and you nailed everything!!
YAS , we need more people like you who understands different cultures and respects the traditions and the locals....Too many awful tourists in Bali over the years...
Some awesome tips , be respectful to locals is the major I reckon. I'm in the process of moving there for good. Thankyou your insights they are very important.
🙂💙💙hello i'm Scott from Australia in 2002 i went to bali for a holiday i LOVED it so much went there with my uncle and aunty we stayed at Legian we went there for 10 days had my 36th birthday there on Jimbaran bay beach at dinner during sunset on the beach was beautiful i also went shopping for myself at kuta markets bought 4 cotton ikat sarongs and 2 t shirts for me was nervous to barter for what i bought i still have the sarongs and T shirts i bought there to this day its always been a dream of mine to go there and i know everyone goes to bali but for me being disabled with spina bifida and i walk with canaidian crutches well i use them now but when i went there i used a wooden cane was not easy but managed anyway the only 1 down side to my holiday was we went 6 months after the sari club and paddys bar bombing one day we were on a tour bus going to a resturant for lunch further inland in bali well we drove past the boarded up site of the bombing site and it felt like we were in slow motion going past it well it did to me it gave me the chills at the thought of all the people that were killed and they were just spending the evening out enjoying themselves with their friends was heartbreaking at the sensless loss of human lives anyway apart from that 1 moment in time was wonderful to holiday in bali i'd love to go back there and see more of the island
thank you for the brief and clear explanation we Balinese are proud of guests who can appreciate our culture in Bali🙏
Thank you so much
Thank you for the great tips! Are you staying Bali right now? I have never been to Bali, but I really want to go. Hopefully soon.💕💕
yes you should go to Bali someday, I'm promise, you will find out unforgettable moment
来てください
Cool
Hebat sekali kawan orang luar negeri bisa teu keindahan di Bali dan budayanya
Thank you very much for explaining and teaching Indonesian culture, especially Bali.. Have a good vacation..
Thanks so much!
Beautiful! I am Balinese and proud of you miss. Thank you for educating!
That's cool ✨
Thanks for sharing, I'm from Hong Kong and will go to Bali Ubud from 17Jan to 14Feb , exciting ...
big respect and thank you for your advice and I hope this applies to us as local tourists too. and for foreign tourists it would be wiser if you visit Bali not to get drunk and make trouble in public places.
1 more tips for me as Indonesian, our local foods is majority spicy. Ask or/and try a little bit of the food first. ☺
Anyway, tries other islands other than Bali, too. You guys will be surprised 😅 (Indonesia has many places and diverse cultures as well) 🥰 - love from Magelang, Central Java. (Where Borobudur Temple a.k.a the biggest Buddhist Temple in the world stand)
That's cool
Magelang mana bos?
@@gypsyinsneakers I recommend Yogyakarta (and Prambanan/Borobudur). Great and different culture and architecture.
As a mexican who travelled there many locals warned me and seemed impressed by how well i handled it. I explained to them mu cultural dishes are also very spicy and we had a nice conversation about it 😊 locals are so nice and kind.
YES!!!! Bali is a beautiful country.
Stayed in Denpasar for 29 days.
Few years back in 2019.
Went for my granddaughter's graduation, she studied medicine in Bali.... enjoyed my stay there.
Visited many beautiful places.
Especially temples and Holi places which are protected strictly, forbidden from touching the shrines.
My stay there with my daughter in my granddaughter's single room house was in a village like place.
People staying around were so kind n very friendly. Morning or evening, (when not going anywhere for sightseeing.) Will go for walking around to make friends, to my surprise, just a smile, they'll wish back politely n invited me in their house n served me with tea n cookies. Another house, It was Raya time, so enjoyed with Raya food. Mak cik packed food to take back.
Even we pass by , they'll acknowledge, with so much respect n gorgeous smile.
Wherever we travelled, grab drivers were so helpful and friendly.
No heart to come back, thought of visiting Bali again. ( World wide lockdown put a full stop for travelling). So sad.🤔Now too old to travel.... travelling now, very expensive.
Bali Indonesia is a beautiful country.
Love Bali and her people for their hospitality and respect.
I always respect individual's culture n their believes... religion is a most honoured n precious life... for every COUNTRIES.🙏
Anybody wants to visit countries.
Bali, Bali, Bali Indonesia to start with.
Love Bali so much.🌹❤️🌹
Everywhere marigold flowers are given importance. Lovely.🏵️🏵️🏵️
Bali is not a country. It is part of Indonesia. INDONESIA is the country.
about bargaining things, it depends on what u bargain. mostly in tourism spots or areas in Indonesia, the prices of some things are more than twice or even thrice than normal. so for instance if the stuff is priced 200k, you actually can bargain it to 50k and the vendor is still gets profit. but once against, depends on what stuff u gonna buy. stuffs like (most type) of batik are indeed expensive, so dont bargain too much, but t-shirts, keychains, fridge magnet or some sort, u can bargain it like half the price or even more sometimes.
This is really good to know! Thanks so much
@@gypsyinsneakers sure! Glad to help. I recommend you to ask your local friends (not guide, not just local residents. Someone u trust) before buying stuffs. Im sure they know your area better than me, because every area are differs. Hope you enjoy your stay!
nah, some Tourist bargain for the sake of bargaining only. These business not making enough money nowadays. Please support them in this pandemic
If you start bargaining and the vendor agrees your offer, don't think you can walk away and think about it - you have done a deal and in many cases they will follow you to your hotel - if you employ a driver to take you around always agree a price with no stops...it will be more expensive but you won't be dragged around art shops etc.
great tips thank u sm, u are very respectful to the local too
Thank you so much for promoting our local tradition in Bali hope you enjoy it
Tips nya berlaku untuk turis lokal dan warga lokal jg ini.... Saling menjaga dan menghormati mau ras , suku , agama apa pun itu 👍
Hi, on behalf of Indonesians, I humbly thank you for sharing this to other tourists, these are very descriptive and spot on! how you could compile this list of big no nos I have no idea lol. You're a very attentive person :)
Excellent! Thank you for sharing this. It’s very helpful and important for tourists..
Hi, thank you for the good review that you gave to our country, especially about bargaining things... Many expatriates here especially from filipine and the other countries love to love to bargain in to the lowest price during the transaction.... Its so kind to find someone care like you... To open others people eyes and heart, its not only about grab the lowest price but its also about someone's income....
That's nice
100% accurate! 😄 Great tips and video! Well done!
Ubud is marvelous, was there for 10 days for a wedding. What an exciting place to visit. Was worth the day of travel each way.
This vlog is awesome. Thank you for share this to the world. As one of Balinese, I highly appreciate refers to the content of this video.
That is something I always do over there, is eat the local food, its cheap and very tasty, I also go for just under a month and still do not get to see all I want to.....Gilli Islands are also great places to go.
Gili island in lombok
That's Bali, a thousand smiles, a million surprises
Useful and understandable advice, not as I expected =) Thank you!
Just dont be wild and vulgar like kissing in the public or having sex.and in the beach the women sould not nude/not wearing bikini/or show there tits/boobs.
@@wayanramadan9076 true
@@wayanramadan9076 then what would the local people do if they see westerns like that
@@urgeniusINTPgirl just joke ilmao
@@wayanramadan9076 Ur not
great tips susan!! stay safe my beauty, xx
Thankyou❤️❤️
I have returned a few days back from Bali after a six day trip. Balinese people are very nice and friendly. As tourists, we must reciprocate the courtesy they extend to us. Everything you have said is quite accurate.
Dear lovely admin,,
It's such a beautiful one, thank you for your knowledge and shared by fully wisdom ❤.
But there's one important which is very important and probably common peoples will not understand easily.
"don't enter to the temples during periods" . It's sounds like discrimination but truely it's not.
Like I said above , it's understood by all of Hindu Priest and who exploring the principal of Bali Hinduism...
Warm regards from southern part of Bali..
Wayan.
Thank you, we need more respectful Bule like you ✨
Thank you so much for supporting BALI and Indonesia. Good luck for you 🤓❤️
This is such an amazing explanation. Though i am Indonesian who live in Jakarta. I really want to know about this. 😊 thank you
If you are in Bali and especially if you live in Bali, be grateful! You are in one of the most beautiful places in the world that SO MANY people dream to go to.
true. even us indonesians are too broke to go to other island
Lol Bali is overrated AS FUCK
How can it be beautiful with all that garbage?
Nonsenses
@@janetchristie9650 simple, just pick up the garbage ;) change starts with us
Bali is amazing island. I love nature, culture, people and ambiance in Bali. This place so unique. We never found in any place
Thank you for sharing these useful tips! As Indonesian i totally agree with you especially no.8 dont bargain too hard.. be considerate.. even us Indonesians, we often give bonus to our rental car drivers or gojek drivers more than what they expect to receive. It always good to spread charity and make the locals happy!
@karen Smith 10-50k rupiahs should be enough depending on how much you spend. Usually we give tips to taxi drivers, people at salons/spa, people who clean and guard private villas, people who help you to park your motorbikes/cars. You don’t have to tip in restaurants/cafes though because it’s already included in the bill, unless if there’s a tip box near the cashier then it’s good to tip
This Lady is very correct in all she said. And I should know, Bali is a lovely place except for the trach that comes from so many tourists who should stay home.
Excellent advice and very accurate and helpful information. Well done!!
Thank you for appreciating and respecting Bali, Indonesia 🙏❤️
My pleasure 🙏
Don't leave Indonesia, just make videos from various cultures and all aspects of life because we like the way foreigners look at our country
Love that ❤️
thank you for info,am planning on visiting on september for 3 weeks
May I add one more thing that many foreigners are doing but shouldn't, and that is to not wear a shirt (men) or to wear a sleeveless top (men and women). I am half-indonesian and I know how offensive this is to the locals. Just one thing to think about: what would YOU think if some women tourist came to your country and walked around bare-breasted because that is just what is common in their country? I know in Bali there are so many tourists and the Balinese are very patient and tolerant people so they might even have gotten used to the way the tourists dress, and they are much too polite to say anything about it, but I still cannot get used to it and it upsets me every time I am in Indonesia. And I don't think anybody is dressing this way because they want to be disrespectful, they are probably just not aware of the effect this has on the local people and probably have never consciously looked around to see how Indonesians dress.
I totally agree with: "Don't come to Bali just for one week"
Absolutely
Do not say you hate putin
So hard to book a longer holiday hah
Absolutely LOVE your posts and videos - thank you! I've gone twice a year for 10 years and I learn new things from you in each of your videos. Hoping to come back this October (my last visit was October 2019). Keep up the great work and thanks again for sharing!
Love your content. Keep up your great work and thanks for respecting Balinese culture 😍
Hope you enjoy your days while in Bali and in other places in Indonesia 🥰
Thanks so much!
15. Please do wear proper attire when visiting temples, attending ngaben/palebon ceremonies or another sacred places. Enjoy your holiday, stay safe stay healthy.
Thanks so much! You too❤️
@@gypsyinsneakers You're most welcome, btw, I heard a slightly Dutch accent the way you talk, it's cute tho 🤗
You are not just beautiful but also clever. Respect to you, this is a rare video!
And the the note, Indonesia is not just about Bali, guys. There are still so many other places inside indonesia to come and to visit.
Perhaps you can explore more places instead of just settling down for Bali and that's it.

Thanks, im Indonesian and this is so right! Glad to know that you enjoy and learn something from Bali
Cocok jd ARTIS INDONESIA 🥰
jangan mempromosikan sexual activity aka. making porn content di ruang publik karena di Bali-IDN hal ini merupakan hal yang tabu aka. ranah privat yang bertentangan dengan budaya timur dan bisa berakibat sanksi sosial, hukuman penjara bahkan auto-deportasi bagi warga negara asing
up up up, add this
Iam Indonesian, thank you for come up with list of not to do in Bali. Hope you enjoy Bali ❤😊
Perhaps, I need to add the rule:
Don't kiss each other and intercourse in public.
