The lady at 0:24 resonated with me when she said “It makes me sad when they litter”. I think all tourists should have the common courtesy to not treat someone’s home like a theme park.
I think the locals litter more than the foreigners
Sadly locals litter just as much 🙁.
Yeah i saw a doc where the foreigners had this campaign to convince the Buddhist leaders to tell the people not to throw their trash into the rivers and not to eat the turtles. It was a real struggle for them to understand that they will run out of turtles.. :/
She might not local or she already follow imported religion 😅
As if she doesn't litter. She also said "I hate how they make us open-minded" --tells you a lot. You don't protect your culture by making sure it never changes.
For some of the tourists, and it doesn't matter where they go, they think they can do whatever they want and have fun however they want. It's not their country, it's their vacation spot where they can go wild.
Agreed. Respecting culture of foreign countries is first thing tourists should do when set foot on their soil. Else then, perhaps don’t visit the country as a tourist.
Even in Barcelona Spain, tourists are getting a bad rap. They trash the place.
@@JosephOccenoBFH I think there should be higher penalties for littering in most places. Just like in Singapore. (Not that Singaporean laws are the best overall, but in that regard they're good).
I can tell you from life experience: tourists who bahave bad abroad do the same at home in their country. And even in your own country you should not behave like that.
@@kanister21 Some may behave badly at home as well, but no so badly. I say this also from life experience.
It makes a huge difference if it's your own back yard, where you live and work, or a country you never plan to visit again.
I'm surprised they didn't have a more negative impression. Bali is the go-to travel sport for Bogan Australians who are frequently drunk and rowdy and act as if the locals are from some sort of primitive society. I feel for the people when tourists constantly treat Bali as some sort of playground where they can "find themselves".
i hope to like ur comment 100x. Australian think American tourists are the worst, but here in my country, I can really say Australian is the WORST tourist
u surprised cuz u don't understand how extremely patient them bali people are. that's just one of very little things i could b proud of as indonesian.
It depends entirely on the individual.
Some people don't respect the rules, ecosystem and culture - most try their best once they are helped to understand the unfamiliar.
The bigger problem overall is prejudice - a real problem arises when people are judged for their appearance or accent and not their individual choices.
That kind of prejudice is a barrier to empathy and communication which would actually help fix the problem.
@@homeland1128 and that is how indigenous lands are taken… too much patience with foreign people.
Well it made their life 100 times easier so why have negative view if small percentage of idiots travel there... but that is in every country, that certain tourist thinks they own the place... but there is much more people that simply go with Bali rules...
I would love to visit Bali one day. Not only because of the nature, but because I am Hindu and I would love to see how the traditions there are similar yet different to my own. In that sense, I am happy that the citizens are resolute in securing their own tradition regardless of tourists.
@@Ezra-wy7ux No, I'm not although I do have Indian ancestry
@@Ezra-wy7ux No worries. My family's god is Vishnu mainly (Rama and Hanuman). We're big followers of Advaita Vedanta as well, although I love learning about all religions of the Dharma. Which religion do you follow?
same I am an Indian Hindu and I have heard a lot about this culture in Bali. I would love to visit and pay my respects.
@@Ezra-wy7ux That's very cool, I think religion is a guide more than preordained rules to follow. As in, you need to cherry pick somewhere for it to be valuable to you. I think being open with it but at the same time taking it seriously for yourself definitely gives you the best results.
Isnt bali Muslim like the rest of Indonesia? If u go try kratom y'all ! It grow only in Indonesia Malaysia vietnam thailand, wonderful plant !!
Should always respect the culture, customs, traditions of the place you visit, it will get you more respect and acceptance
The Balinese people are literally so nice. I can’t even describe. Every single person is so nice and helpful and truly JOYFUL.
You haven't travelled much of Bali then
If you visit any country, you respect it.
That means respecting their culture, their traditions and their environment.
You are a guest in their home
I'm a balinese and i can sense the 1st and 4th girls aren't balinese. But nevertheless balinese people are welcoming in general, it's a win lose situation basically
Agree. All of the changes are unstoppable and has both good and bad sides.
I went to Legian street in Bali and i thought i was in Australia.
Bogan Street.
We lived in Bali when I was younger for a summer vacation. I was young then and in awe with all the foreigners. I really felt like I was in a tourist place. Can’t wait to go back this year. :)
I know foreign tourists can litter too but it just felt ironic if an Indonesian complains about that, i mean we are the biggest culprit regarding this😅
thats fair, but you wouldnt go to someone elses gouse and throw your trash. you can disrespect your own space, but dont disrespect others'
Most of the people were Javanese except the last two - the Balinese consider them foreigners
Javanese or jakartans?
the last person has quite possibly the nicest voice i think i've ever heard
Balinese litter more than the forigners do😂😂
The first guy sees the positive,instead of focusing on a few bad eggs 🙏🏻
The girls is racist... Btw I am Indonesian. Foreigners are the ones cleaning up, the locals litter.
The first girl sounds so dumb 😂
Also does she even know her history? I don't think she is Balinese... Women in Bali used to be topless.
Calling out foreigners = racist, pretty 8 y.o logic you got there,
It's ironic how they judge foreigners for littering but doing the exact same. Seen this so often. And personally, I did hang out with a girl who throw her litter mindless in the local river while having a walk outside. The same girl told me a few days later how she's hating foreigners for littering her country, like this girl in the video did!
And she is saying they they are make everybody open minded in clothes while wearing a western clothes😂😂
Yeah, as an Indonesian I can feel the hypocrisy. She should've mentioned something much more serious like illegal workers or foreigners creating gated communities, that's the real problem.
2 wrongs doesn’t make it 1 right. Just because they litter doesn’t mean foreigners should litter too but not all of them misbehave and vice versa
@@kevinasp8693that’s not two wrongs don’t make a right. That’s hypocrisy.
Usually she not local, local don't care clothes. The one who care about those things is the one who claimed own heaven 😅
I really wanna go Indonesia, they have wonderful natural beauty
We are GUESTS when we visit another country. As such we should be mindful of our conduct.
I wish that all people who travel would RESPECT the culture & customs of the countries they visit. Not litter or become offensively drunk & troublesome.
Sadly, there are too many self entitled tourists.
While I can't vibe with her complaining about tourists being too open minded, I definitely resonate with her complaints about tourists following rules. Like, it's simple: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
I think their answers are still general in nature and in accordance with the facts because in Bali, many foreign tourists do not respect Balinese customs.For example, many foreign tourists do not respect Balinese customs, during traditional events in Bali, foreign female tourists are caught naked at traditional events and that really does not respect Balinese customs.
Tourist and Litter are so statisticaly insignificant, that 1 family on Bali will causally beat 10.000+ tourist in litter...
I'm a Balinese, and i generally respect foreigners & tourists that had spent their quality time here in Bali, of all places. However i do intend to get disturbed whenever i saw troubling news about the shenanigans the tourists did (foreign or domestic) that involves disrespectful manners/attitudes towards our cultures & traditions and vandalism of sacriligous sites. Just be aware of the rules, do's and don'ts that are commonly found outside of sites like Puras, or monuments, and you should be fine.
Whilst I respect her opinion, I think its important to understand many people visiting Bali are not acustomed to the levels of heat and humidity which is why they dress that way.
don’t know why she’s bothered anyway 😂 it’s not gonna affect her just don’t look
@@Ava-nf2qqThis is the Island of the G0ds. It’s a religious island. If you want to go there, you dress according to that place. Don’t ask them to change for you.
@@Lasha901perfect response, completely agree
Balinese 😂 that just made me fqing laugh out loud
The part about foreigners reminds me of how one russian woman started lecturing uzbeks on how real usbekistani pilaf is made. I'm not joking, it actually happened
Like.teaching a father how kids are made.
Cuma yg cowok punya aksen bali
Full interview?
There is no way she complains about the tourists littering in Bali. Have you seen the roads? The rivers? The beaches? There is gigantic piles of garbage absolutely everywhere, and it’s not because of the tourists.
Bali has its own culture from the rest of Indonesia
I dated an indonesian girl who would just throw litter anywhere. She implied it was a normal practice. I had to teach her not to do that.
They taught us either Mandarin or Indonesian as part of my Aussie education. I would agree however drunk Aussies would disenchant the locals.
Would love a video describing what an ideal forgeiner in indonesia should act like. What customs should they follow and behaviors should they show yo be respectful there?
A foreigner who litters throwing away several $100 bills.
Respect the place. Don’t act out of line. And don’t act like you own the place.
I hope that they find a good balance with the tourists.
My respect and love to indonesian people
I really like Bali and I respect the people there, unfortunately only a few do this.
So foreigners MADE your woman dress less conservatively?
The girl who generalized that only foreigners litter their place is very funny. She forgot that they have the most polluted and dirtiest river in the world which is the citarum river.
Citarum is on... Different Island.... Like.... She didn't say only foreigners did that and there's a possibility that she, herself, isn't someone who likes to litter... Y'all get offended at every little thing aye...
@@astonisherus then she shouldn't have said that? My point is where is citarum located and who are the people that polluted it? Maybe we can also blame foreigners for the pollution and dirt in citarum river.
@@dot4515 It's located in West Java, the one polluted are those who are living near Citarum. Bali locals have a little to nothing to do with Citarum pollution, lol. See? This is me, not generalizing locals, you criticized her generalization but are pulling the same thing. Seems a little bit hypocritical, don't you think? Let's not act like some foreigners don't litter in Bali at all, she should've added the word "some", there. Happy now? This is really giving me the "not all men" energy.
The women complaining about balinese culture becoming more open minded on clothing is wrong. Many Indonesian women before the west and İslam lived almost entirely topless. So if anything the west has created a more conservative dressing culture.
As an Georgian the last lady would like Georgian because we always follow the other rules when we visit other countries
Without tourism bali wouldnt be bali anymore
"The gold with a Balinese dancer on it"
The people of Indonesien also litter a lot actually
You have to see how the bogan Aussies and other foreigners act mate.
It was quite easy to distinguish, since there’s segregation between the places that Indonesians and foreigners visit. You can also see what kind of litter foreigners would have on the ground, which is mostly alcohol and those other weird stuff.
Hard to shun them if the country is almost economically dependent on them as a primary revenue source. Can't bite the hand that feeds.
But you still gotta respect the place you visit. Recently, there have been a lot of incidents revolving around tourists who didn't follow the rules and made the government think to regulate them
Yep money solves everything
Indonesia landmass is quite massive, I'm sure they have plenty natural resources. Plus they will become member of BRICS and part of the BRI trade network. They probably already not dependent on tourism.
Bali is dependent on tourism not the entire Indonesia.
@@tristanings6000 then its on the local government to punish the tourists. fining them $$$ means nothing to them because they can afford it. you have to kick them out to send a message, but the gov wont wont because they need their money. when the tourists dont get punished, the same thing will continue happening because they only become emboldened.
4th girl is unbelievably based.
the woman that's complaining about how foreigners affecting the culture in terms of clothing while wearing a foreign clothing 💀
Bang baju kayak gitu sudah dari tahun 90' an, terpengaruh sih iya tapi budaya intinya jangan
Difference between a tourist and a traveller. One goes places, the other visits and experiences them.
Yes following the laws is super important. And tourists don’t always have that in mind :(
Dude. Don’t mind the critters. They don’t bite. Lizards were all over when I grew up there. Frogs don’t bite. They won’t bother you! That’s the jungle. I once got into a shower and I was full of soap and I opened my eyes and staring at me three feet away was a huge spider. Looking at me eye ball to eyeball. I finished bathing and it didn’t move. It’s big but not dangerous. It eats mosquitos. Won’t bite.
Funny seeing the one not wearing conservative Muslim clothing complaining that the visitors are also not adhering to conservative values.
Balinese people are Hindu
Because she's not Muslim?
Indonesia is a secular country and Bali is Hindu majority so idk what point you're trying to make
you don't have to be muslim to be conservative though? in fact most asians are pretty conservative and reserved regardless of religion
Bali is not muzlum. It's Hindu
Australian drunk clōwns are found in Bali mostly
They contribute over 60% of balis GDP. Without Australian tourism the region would collapse
I thought Bali was just North Australia 🤯
"They are changing our culture"
Same here in PH. but not because of foreigners visiting but because we know english so well, many filos tend to adore foreign(especially western, more particularly, americans) so much that they want to adapt almost every culture that US have. And unfortunately, they are starting to adapt toxic stuffs too(Cancel culture, wokism, etc).
Definitely that colonial mentality at play here.. sad to see.. especially when us filos treat foreigners even nicer than their own kind, that’s the worse :/
Not following rules is never okay, I'm sorry some people do that and are disrespectful
In Mexico City the way they solve the litter problem is by having a cleaning force out even at night time. I don't like littering but I could not find any garbage can to drop my litter so I had to drop it on the sidewalk. There are roving teams of cleaners with browns and carts to place the garbage. The money Bali is making from tourism littering should be the least of their problems. They can easily hire people with browns and carts to rove around tourist areas to clean up. No one force Bali to change its culture. Men still wear dresses there. And lots of them work in the hospitality industry. Obviously these people in the video do not work in hotels or restaurants that depend on tourism.
The first girl looks Filipina. As for following rules I wish the taxi drivers would. In going to the airport the taxi driver I flagged down let me put my luggage in the trunk then started driving. I asked him to put on the meter. He said it's not working. I said if you're meter is not working you should tell me upfront or not use the taxi with a broken meter. I really detest this type of behavior. I then asked him to let me out so I can flag down a taxi with a meter that works. All of a sudden he changed and quoted me a more reasonable fare. When you arrive at the Bali airport it's not so bad. There are different zones with the prices shown on the wall. It's going back to the airport that is where they might try to rip you off. So before you get into any taxi you hail ask the driver if the meter works. If you still want to ride then agree upfront with a fixed price.
Respect our culture, rules, traditions.
Chinese tourists left a chat 😅
In my experience the Balinese are super friendly and welcoming, I feel that this video doesn't do them justice.
Likewise.. ive seen these in my country growing weed crops, prostitution, money laundering etc..
Why Bali? What about other places in Indonesia?
Let's be fr Indonesians litter like it's a competition
Sampah here means foreigners who are disrespectful of the local customs and laws.
Di setiap sudut Bali.
GK setuju kalau di bilang buang sampah sembarang buat orang asing cewek yg berbaju putih sedikit kurang pengetahuan nya .😅😂😅😂😊
Foreighners litter in Bali?? What do Balinese people put on beaches and streets and everywhere?? Dont you count that as littering too??
The lady might not Balinese
Stop being affront to everything
I never went to Bali. The one place I probably should have. But honestly I feel like I got to know the people more in Jakarta and Bekasi.
I pray this place continues to bring happiness and peace with the rewards of such good deeds to follow.
If you just appreciate the culture, don’t litter, wear a helmet while driving, don’t step on the little green baskets, etc. they love you. But if you just go there and treat it like a playground, they despise you. They especially hate tourists who try to sleep with their women.
But when americans say it because we're sick of seeing our cities trashed were racist
I just know the foreigners who litter are american😭
Everyone asks me if they come to L.A which spots to hit. I always tell then to NEVER go to Santa Mocia pier or Venice Beach. It's so disgusting and dirty. Don't even get me started in districts of downtown L.A. oof
They girl who complained about open-mindedness seems abit Threatened 😅 Because she's beautiful and might be upstaged by scantily clad women 😂😂😂
Lol but that's the only way your people can earn money 😅😅😅
It always makes me so upset at how rude foreigners can be here. They ride motors and hit other people because they can't drive, they're loud and often drunk, and sometimes they just open too much clothing. I read about a German woman who was flashing her p*ssy to people. Especially when they go to lombok. Lombok is mostly Muslim, and they dress so scandalous and treat it as a party area, but it's not. They litter and are sometimes generally rude to the people in Indonesia.
I honestly believe that locals help a location give it's character, culture and charms. When you take that away you're essentially turned the place into an amusement park.
This is sad. Can we please be more respectful as outsiders? We do not own their land, we are just visitors so we must abide by their rules, respect their culture. Let's not even try to influence them into changing their mindset. The differences in our culture and mindset are what makes every country unique and beautiful. Not everything should be westernized.
I honestly think a lot of the people there even prefer outside cultures more. It's really sad, but I've seen it a lot in South East Asia. Everyone wants to be like Koreans, Japanese, Europeans etc..
As a Bali, I don't think everyone hates outsiders who visit, but how come they make noise and don't take part in programs such as when they can return to their country and that has been shown a lot in Bali because in Indonesia it has been seen that many tourists don't following Bali customary rules and playing around like wearing only a bra and pants on the streets on motorbikes and not obeying Bali driving regulations and also yesterday we heard that there were tourists who climbed into traditional traditional dance venues wearing only bras and pants and forced their way into the sacred hall like a place of worship it really makes the heart as a Bali sad and annoyed and start to hate tourists and a bit angry even though I know it's only part of it but there's a lot of chaos made by tourists I as an Indonesian want to ask that please comply with government regulations so as not to be sent back to the country if you really want to visit Bali Indonesia and please respect the traditions that exist in Bali
400+ Aussie tourists died in Bali bombing... tourists disappearances are frequent. they have Religion Police patrol at night time, people vanish when not dressed according to Sharia law.
that's not even remotely true and the Balinese are Hindu
There is no sharia law in Bali.
@@williamjohnson7427 the villages around Bali. and training camps for extremists only miles away from Bali. 400+ souls perished from bombing.

Excuse me. Even locals do litter. But yes i agree noone should litter and generally everyone needs to be considerate, pay attention and follow the rules!
EU, Australia and the US have everything then why go to Bali at all? Doesn't make much sense.
these Balinese cousins look filipino but they sound funny....love Indonesia!!
Tutup aja, jangan terima tourist di Bali kalau gak suka orang asing.
Good. Be patriotic on your country.
Ma’am, the IINDONESIAN GOVERNMENT CHOSE TO ALTER THE CULTURE FOR THE MONEY THE FOREIGNERS BRING.
lol what one of the girls complained about open mindedness when it came to clothes 😂 weirdo
Its revealing clothes not open minded translation. Walking on the street in bikini and thongs, or micro skirt, braless, all the things opposition from modesty.
@@rxxsxhux9710mind you older Bali traditional clothing for the women used to not cover the chest, tell that to their ancestors 💀
Susss
Orang Bali ni aneh bgt, mayoritas anti Jawa takut bersaing bisnis, tp PRO TURIS ASING sampai rela jd bidaknya.
Be working in feilds if not 4 tourism.ots of drug n mug going on attwcking ppl after surfing even women and localism
the words of young people wearing hats are very stupid topics and don't make sense
Those Imperialist don’t expect to follow rules and customs…
The people of Bali would clearly not be happy with the US Democratic party.
Better the tourist return to there homes and the Bali people will be happy again ya 🙄
Isn't Islam the original foreigners in Bali?
I don't know why you bring islam on this. Bali still hindu till nowsaday. You are foreigners to bali, behaving bogans, walking in bikini and thongs on streets, not follows the rules.
When did indonesia became forgien for bali, bali is indonesia and Muslims in Indonesia are converters not forginers
next year im going back to my homer country indonesia and im gong bali and im going see if tourist doesnt follow otherwise i will show them old indonesia way to make them resppect
I mean it should be common sense…if you travel to another country…follow their laws and respect the culture of the people and the land…but that’s just me though.
There's a saying in Indonesia, "di mana bumi dipijak, di situ langit dijunjung", which means wherever we are we must respect and obey the rules and customs there. That's it! ❤🤍
