In Reply to: A couple of giggles with posted by didiaust on Sunday, 15. January 2006 at 03:50 Bali Time:
I loved the mis-spellings on signs - which yu have to admit is not only seen in Bali as many of our home countries have trouble with our 'official' languages :-)
I have to admit though that what did distrub me a bit in Bali last time was the noticeable increase in the use of offensive words in everyday conversation - especially when children are present. In one case when I wandered into a shop the (very) young guy told me to "get the f**k in here" and he would "show me some bl**dy good sh*t" In reply I told him that he had a much better chance of selling me something if he didnt use bad language. He looked quite stunned and even more so when I told him the translation of what he was saying ;-)
