Anita, I loved your thoughtful response re: gifts to the people of Bali. I will be visiting soon, and I would like to know what I can bring to give as a thank you. Are there any small inexpensive items that I can purchase here in the States to take to them? I am not comfortable with bringing used clothes to give as a gift.
The last time I visited, I gave my unexchanged money (800r) to our guide and told him it was for his wife. Trinkets were so inexpensive in Bali that I was able to take a little something home for friends, coworkers and family!! Is there some type of trinket I can bring from the States to give to them? In Africa it was ballpoint pens! Too bad I don't have a Balinese pen pal.
