chicki, and i have heard some to from people that live in Bali.
i think the balinese are very RICH people, more than we will ever be.
because they have simple thoughts and ways, and dont sweat about anything much.
teh real lovely ones dont want stuff from us, more than friendship, because they mostly lived like that for centuries.
i just dont like the tourists who go yeah i gave em money and i'll make a difference, maybe i was a bit mean, cause i now everyone is gettin rotten on me, but some tourists man, need to wake up.
lets love the balines e people for who they are and always have been and not try and get them too westernised-
cause i see all the girls with their fashion and phones and jewelry and heels, and bags, OMG!!!
and stuff in bali, and i reckon they have lost the beautiful 'bali smile'and that is sad
if you go to the countryside area in bali, you will see they are the Happy ONES!
