My family and the people we met in Bali would like to know if you walked around Bali with your eyes closed? It seems you didn't take in the culture or the life style of the people. If you're a Hindu you wipe your bottom with one hand and eat with the other. So you can expect their life style to be a little different to ours. I suppose Rupert you let your dog sit on the table where you prepare the food so I guess you would eat off that table like they do.
I accepted what I saw but at the same time my health standards are a lot higher. As for the bartering their are crooks everywhere and you don't have to feel sorry for them.
When we go on a holiday we like to see everything maybe you don't have the same idea.
