I really appreciate the offer of somewhere to leave things so as to lighten the load, blb. It can be an inconvenience traipsing stuff back and forth as you come and go which you obviously understand. The fact you;'re only just up the road is quite convenient and should I have the need in the future, i'll accept your generous offer. Also, thanks for the kind words, Boom la Bern.
Wayne, I have only just discovered your Videos and I love them. They are so interesting and enjoyable. I have been to Bali many times and yes the Balinese are lovely people. I love that you speak Indonesian with them, which I understand. So nice to watch a video that involves interaction with local people. Please keep making the Videos, they're a joy to watch. Look forward to many more 😊
Hi Karen. That's really generous of you, thanks so much. If you speak Indonesian yourself you must also have a lot of fun when you're here. Thanks nso much for taking the time to say helloo, Karen. Cheers.
I'm happy to hear your returning to Bali Wayne. I enjoy watching your videos, I am planning to live there myself and they give a real insight to life there. Thanks Ian👍
Thank you again for another wonderful video and I am so happy that you are returning soon 😊 Your Bahasa is improving so much and I love the way you interact with the local people ❤ Keep up the wonderful videos you making ❤
Really enjoyed this round of videos, Indonesia has been on my list for a long time, hope to make it there soon. I'm getting a channel together myself, be more based around water activities, I won't really be in them, I have a hook though so see where it goes, underwater video becomes a whole other ball game. I wouldn't mind you having a walk about Perth, for those of us on the other side of the world. I'm off to Thailand tomorrow.
Congrats on starting a youtube channel, bf. They're a lot of fun and you get to meet plenty of good people through them while enjoying a hobby or interest. I wasn't sure whether people would be interested in Perth vids but a few have requested one or two so we'll try. Great that you're on your way to Thailand - enjoy.
Thank you so much for your videos... your kindness and respect to the locals really makes them worthwhile. In regards to going somewhere else before coming back to Indonesia.. have you thought of Laos? It seems that there is not so much Laotian content on YT. Looking forward to more great watching from you. Best, M.
And I'm noticing that your Bahasa Indonesia has improved considerably over the last few weeks! Congratulations, and hope you do indeed get back t0 Bali soon. Selamat jalan, selamat kembali.
I’m so glad you’re coming back as I have just found yr clips and think they are fabulous. Your Bahasa is really good 😊 I started learning it during Covid online wth a Balinese teacher. Not quite at yr level but enjoy being there and most people seem to think I’m quite good at it or are just being polite ! Love the language and the people. Safe trip back to Australia… I live at Coolangatta on the Gold Coast. Coming bk to Bali in January
Hi Lesley. Just having the basics in Indonesian is enough for locals to light up and want to interact which is so rewarding. How great you're learning the language and also getting back here in January! Cheers.
Hey marisa. Thanks so much. It does get pretty predictable in Australia at times. Really lucky to have Bali on our doorstep to mix it up for a while. Cheers.
Good on you Wayne. I'll look forward to seeing your next posts when you come back. You embarrass me for my lack of bahasa. I'm going to put my head down and study from January(:-)
You fit in so well, a friendly face who is engaging with others so well. Pls, acknowledge your gift as a communicator and your skilful learning of another language. Stop putting yourself down. We stay 2 months every year, have done so forever, now age 71, we renew our visa in Singaraja, its easy, but online is now the go. If I understand the VOA and extension of 30 days, I think you can extend now for another 30 days. It is our experience that it is cheaper to do a VOA + extension than the 60 day online application.
Hi Silvio. Thanks. I also understand it that some visas are now extendable online which makes it so much easier than going to immigration three times in a week as we once had to. Thanks for the kind words, Silvio. Cheers.
@@fiascodagama1pre Chrissy heatwave in Perth this week though just got back from Bali and it was the hottest I recall in a while. Needs a Freo Dr over there😅
Another good one Wayne, hope to bump into you in bali one day, we will be living in Sanur full time come january as i will retire, my wifes very happy big smile, back to her home land, cheers!
Look forward to your new adventure. If it involves moving around that will be great. I’m off to Nusa Lembongan last week of December first week January. If you manage to get there love to know what you think.
Hi Phys. I think i'd like to take a look around the island again as it's been a few years since the last time. I'm excited for you getting to Lembongan for Christmas, Phys, that's great!
@@fiascodagama1 I will be there just after Christmas for the new year and my birthday. Going with my wife 2 daughters and one of their partners Looking forward to it. Love the videos mate. So different to the fake influencer garbage.
Hi, Pak Wayne senang sekali menonton video-video anda terutama Bali, semoga kedepannya bisa membuat video-video didaerah lain di Indonesia, terima kasih ❤
Hi Wayne. Java is an amazing contrast to Bali. Banyuwangi is a quick trip across the Bali Stait and is a terrific introduction to the most densely populated island in Indonesia. English is spoken but your Bahasa will come in handy. The people and culture are amazing. The Osing people are a delight. Anyway, thank you for your content.
Hi Ed. Thanks for your impressions of Java and the encouragement to return there - I've always enjoyed Yogya myself and look forward to getting back there. I'll consider passing throu gh Bangyuwangi along the way. Cheers Ed.
Well done Wayne, I enjoy your videos. I love the way you interact with the locals. I am learning bahasa Indonesia also with a view towards becoming fluent and having similar interactions with the local people. I have travelled to Indonesia many times and have great affection for the people and culture. It is fun to be curious about and take an interest in the lives of others. I look forward to more of your adventures when you return to Indonesia. Selamat jalan Pak, dan kembali dengan selamat😂
Hi Shane. Learning the language even a little reward you and those you meet in many ways - I'm excited for you Really glad you like the little vids. Thanks
Not sure what visa you're on, but there have recently been changes about the need to do visa runs. As in, you don't have to leave Indonesia to renew some of the visas now. Ocky Misa has a TH-cam channel called "What's Up Bali" which you might want to check out. I'm not certain of the date of commencement but pretty sure it's in place now.
Hi Wayne , my wife n I have been to Bali couple of times I love it but my wife not at much , next time we visit there love to catch up n buy u a Bintang; keep the fantastic videos coming ; I love to move there permanently but that will never happen because I have to many family members here I will miss them to much especially the grandkids; take care mate .jc
Hi Wayne,I think going to other places&returning keeps things more fresh&hope you have health insurance as well. I looked at going via Penang next year on return to Australia from Bali Gosh,I feel old as that first lady could just be my grandkid in age(just) I do not know about you but for all my travels,Bali is only place that feels like a warm hug and I find I am more myself in Bali than in Australia strangely (Have you considered house/pet sitting internationally? I think I gravitate towards your channel because it reflects the Bali I love with total respect to the locals with zero agenda,however it reminds me how much I miss Bali when not there. I have been trying to avoid check in luggage for a while&have a nifty jacket with lots of pockets that helps with weight restrictions. Good luck&safe travels
I agree, Stephanie. Sometimes leaving for a bit makes you appreciate the place a bit more, reactivating the desire to be there. I've considered house/pet sitting in the past but never went forward with it, although I have friends who've done it before. As far as luggage is concerned I've now got it down to just carry on which makes things a lot easier - there may still be a time when I'll need check-in baggage if I find myself wanting to move more permanently. Good to see you.
Hey Sandgroper, I live in Perth. If you have an hour when you are back in Perth, perhaps we could meet up for a coffee. I am leaving here on the 15th of January. I have organised my digital nomad visa for 12 months just need to pay the money after Christmas. I will stay in Ubud again, but I would like to visit other places like Gilli Islands 🏝 ect. Perhaps you should do a trip out there next time, I heard that it's really peaceful. Have a good trip back to Perth. Regards, Sandgroper Dave.
Hi Dave. The Gillis are great - I have a soft spot for the islands - you'll love them I'm sure. My time is really limited in Perth with a lot to do so unfortunately on this return trip I'm probably not going to be able to catch up with anyone, sorry. I'm excited for you getting to spend a year on a digital nomad visa in Ubud - it's a great place to live. Cheers.
Nice vid Wayne. Now your word for the day is pulang kampung = home to village. You will get a laugh when you tell them " mau pulang kampung" about your return to Australia. The coconut seller let's call him tukang kelapa. Tukang = tradesman but you can call sellers tukangs also eg tukang sayur = vegetable seller or tukang listrik = electrician. Tukang kelapa said ' lumayan setengah jam dari sini = not bad half an hour from here. Lumayan (not bad) is a great word and will also often get a laugh
I'll try remember "Tukang" and "lumayan" as they're very handy words for me to know considering what the videos are - thanks, I appreciate it. Yes, the family here where i stay would probably laugh at the concept of a western kampung. Thanks Daniel!
Hey Things. I wrote palm cards initially and tried to remember the words before assaulting the Indonesian population with attempt sat speaking it. :) Glad you're enjoying the vids, Things. Cheers.
Wayne, thank you for your great vids and intriguing interviews of the local people. Tell me if you will, do you only get a ticket to Bali and then buy when you wish to leave… hearing different things and my plans are slow travel so do not know where the next country would be…. Thanks Tony 🇦🇺
Hi Tony. To extend your visa on arrival you're required to show an onward ticket. If I''m not sure how long I'm going to be in Indonesia I'll get a one way ticket then if needed I'll purchase another one. Sometimes if I'm not sure where is next but still require the onward ticket to show for the visa extension, I'll buy a Medan-Kuala Lumpur one way ticket for $30-$50 which is the cheapest ticket out of the country I know of to show just for visa extension purposes. I'll eventually make up my mind where's next and then buy a ticket, always ensuring of course never to overstay an Indonesian visa. One has to be very careful here with some airlines requiring you show an onward ticket before you actually board to Indonesia.Hope this helps.
@ - thank you - appreciate that info on getting a KL ticket just to have an ongoing ticket for the purpose. Going to head to Bali 2025 and then just follow my nose for a while to explore and take in Asian countries. 🙏 thank you
You could make your way to the north shore at lovina bali 😁😁 I want to go there but Sue says it's out of her comfort zone.🤥 But i think its because she knows I'm going to make her swim with the dolphins 🐟🦈 If you show us the human side of the place as you do, I may be able to use it on her
@@fiascodagama1 Lovina is a nice sleepy town. You haven't really been to Bali if you haven't seen the enormous cheesy dolphin statue there at least once. Amed is a great place too. I rode a scooter from Kuta through Ubud then around the north coast, highly recommend it (you have to really have your wits about you all the time though). Great vid as usual by the way. If you're ever stuck for other destination ideas i highly recommend Luang Prabang then surrounding countries, so much eye candy and so many nice folk around there.
@@dummekunst7708 Thanks for the tips.A scooter ride around the island is a lot of fun as I recall but as you say, you have to be alert! Good to see you, dk.
Ive been to Bali 4 times .I thought i would do something different and learn a little Balinese language which is hard to do as there is not a lot of info on it..When i went over i discovered that good percentage of the Balinese population doesnt understand Balinese as they are from Java Sumatra Timor etc.Stll if was worth the effort just to converse a little with the true locals.
Hi Paul. Many Balinese I've found speak a little Indonesian which makes for some simple conversations as you say. And it sure is worth the effort to learn a little if you come here occasionally and have the time. Cheers, Paul.
Hello from CA. Great video. Indonesians age slower because they have more collagen and thicker skin. Genes. Your on vacation in Ubud with great spirit. Looking forward 2 more videos. No place like Ubud, easy with interesting people!

@@dummekunst7708 Thanks for the tips.A scooter ride around the island is a lot of fun as I recall but as you say, you have to be alert! Good to see you, dk.
Cheap tickets to Malaysia for a visa run mate😊
Couple of things I've got to attend to in Perth just quickly. But yeah, Bali-KL and the like can be had at very reasonable prices.
Ive been to Bali 4 times .I thought i would do something different and learn a little Balinese language which is hard to do as there is not a lot of info on it..When i went over i discovered that good percentage of the Balinese population doesnt understand Balinese as they are from Java Sumatra Timor etc.Stll if was worth the effort just to converse a little with the true locals.
Hi Paul. Many Balinese I've found speak a little Indonesian which makes for some simple conversations as you say. And it sure is worth the effort to learn a little if you come here occasionally and have the time. Cheers, Paul.
Hello from CA. Great video. Indonesians age slower because they have more collagen and thicker skin. Genes.
Your on vacation in Ubud with great spirit. Looking forward 2 more videos. No place like Ubud, easy with interesting people!
They sure did get the youthful look genes, that's for sure, Liz.
