my Balinese friends and true Balinese people are so gentle and thank full they would be very embarressed at comments like that.
The ones i know enjoy to give back through home made tea or a box of home made pisang goreng or a necklace made from beads....and this is precisely why many of them say "up to you" when talking price.
I don't believe the majority expect or assume us to give more than we are each able to do.
