but try telling the young generation of Balinese (or Indonesians) that. They want. Just like you want. The traditional ways are often seen as 'uncool'. Even using their traditional languages are seen as 'uncool'. It is not the fault, or the wish, of the tourist that it be that way. It just is.
No amount of criticism or idealism will change it. Otherwise you risk sounding like the guys back in the 50's that used to tell everyone that rock and roll was evil.
