In Reply to: Wrong Attitude to Bali posted by Aussie Sam on Friday, 23. July 2004 at 10:03 Bali Time:
I was disgusted with some older "woman" while over in Bali!
They were telling some Balienese sales people off because they were trying to sell them "Oakleys"... One lady was just OUT right rude!
I was embarressed to have even witnessed such a out rage from her!
They dont deserve to be spoken to as dogs, they are only trying to make a living! A simple "no thank you" and even ignoring them works if they are following you or anoying you! (it worked for me!)If your not interested!... I guess there are some people that have low thresh hold of patience!...
I didnt understand some balienese looking in your purse for coins or following you for what seemed like miles, but hey.. its there life style and what they have to do for a living!... I in the end caught on quick!... I just shook my head and they knew what i meant!... and a smile for them and a No thank you!...
Do unto others, as you would have them do to unto you! :-)
