In Reply to: Bali -----Not worth it. posted by Ronald on Tuesday, 27. April 1999 at 11:49 Bali Time:
I actualy spend my time at Dali, it is a new island that has opened next to Bali.
Food is good, beaches are great, and it is so cheap.
For example, breakfast is only 2000 Rudrachers ($1 Australian).
If you want a massage they do not bother you until you wave your hand in the air and yell "Rubrubrub", as for street hawkers, they are almost non existint,. They walk up and say" Wokkki byeee" (Dalinese for "Please would you like to purchase these items I have in my collection").If you do not want to bye you say "Rackemoffem" and without fuss or hassle they walk backwards away from you blowing kisses in the air.
There are no transport problems in Dali either, for 3000 Rudrachers (payment only if you are satisfied) the drivers take you any where you want to go, in air conditioned a Holden HSV fully equiped with a complimentary bar.
No such thing as Dali belly either. All food is flown in 3 times a day where they deliver it to where you are at meal times.
The language they speak is Dalinese which is similiar to Dragabagaway
Ah yes Dali, Just a short walk at 324 degree longitude and 126 degree latitude from Bali.
