You're not kidding. I cannot count the times i've returned a wai, sorry i don't know what it's called in Bali, with my hands cupped around a camera, or purse or cup
It was obvious there was nowhere else to put the object at the time, and i've usually caught a grin and a twinkle in the eyes of the person on the receiving end of a very comical wai, lol
