We have made several friendships with balinese, (one couple we have really come to look on as "our extended family" we take them clothes to distribute to there families, also always take little presents from australia which indeed they love.
We do not expect, but they always buy some little present for us, and never forget our birthdays and occasions.
We also take them out for a meal, and when taken out for the day they are also included in the meal, in return we are invited to there house and put on a nice meal for us.
No different than if they were our own son & daughter.
Even Sally, on the beach (in front of natur, gives us little presents, and the girls there many times include us when buying off the carts.
Think it takes a few years to have a good bond between friends (no different than in our own country).
I could go on and on , the friendships we have made, and find they also like to give ! be it only small but there heart is in the right place.
