The best cure for Bali belly is to switch to a diet of white rice and water. Take only white rice for a couple of days and it will halt all bowel movement and starve out the bacteria.

First time in Bali was 1980 when I was 11. I instantly fell in love! We stayed at Segara Village Hotel in Sanur, it was a very cheap hotel then! I had blonde hair and the Balinese were constantly touching my arms and hair 😅. One jaw dropping memory that really stands out was when our driver took us to a cock fight 😮 We went in Jan 1980, we came home and immediately booked again for Dec 1980 ❤️

It is Balinese naming system 👉First born Will be named: - Wayan means Eldest, (for unisex) - Gede means Biggest (for unisex, but seldom to be used for female) Example: Wayan Karma, Gede Yudistira 👉2nd Born Will be named - Made (abbreviation from Madya) means middle/center (unisex) - Nengah means middle/center (unisex) Example: Made Sutama, Nengah Wijaya 👉3rd born Will be named: - Nyoman or Komang means youngest (unisex) Example : Nyoman Dharmayoga, Komang Bimantra 👉4th born Will be named: - Ketut means The last one (unisex) Example : Ketut Krishnawan If a fifth birth occurs, or 6th, 7th, 8th etc. the name will be repeated from the beginning. by adding the word "Tagel" it means repeated. For example : Wayan Tagel Karma (5th born), Made Tagel Sutama (7th born)....And so on.

Watching your video whilst sitting here in Jl Petitenget Seminyak (travel agent chosen villa as part of a multi country tour package). Been watching some of your vids over the past few days. I’ve not been to Bali for 20 yrs - but this area is wretched : night clubs, spa massage, bars, overpriced hotels, scooters !!! I wanted to leave after the 1st day. This is horrid - over developed overly reliant on tourists - it’s a place that I will never return back to. Coming here on Tuesday night, the glare of video screen adverts, scooters screaming everywhere - this is not a pleasant place anymore. To be told it takes more hours to get anywhere … the place is choking. Zero critical of what you are experiencing… but these tourist areas will never improve and will only get worse. Disappointing

Great to see you're feeling better. I do get saddened to see some of the younger generation selling off traditional family land. Perhaps the local banjar or other local authorities could look into ways of changing this seemingly new and rampant trend. Changes the focus of a Balinese person from family tradition to short-term money gain, but nothing for future generations. Personally, my inheritance for my sons was going to be my property in Perth, but I've decided to sell up and I'm moving to Bali next year. I'll figure something here in Bali for them, for when I 'kark' it. I arrived last night for 6 weeks, to suss out places to live, near Sanur, probably. Just on the traditional land. Land is given a colour code as to what is allowed on that land: Green; Yellow; Red & Pink. Great info here sent to me by a local friend: www.balitecturerealty.com/land-zoning-in-bali-to-buy-the-right-land/ I wonder how the zones play out with these sales? Someone tried to sell me a plot of land for an exorbitant price, ha ha, but it was a rice paddy field! He said, as the owner of the land, a building permit can be applied for, but to be honest, I think he was just telling me porkies and I wouldn't want to build on a rice field! I'm also coming across people trying to sell me land that they have no legal right to do so. Due diligence with a lawyer is essential when investing in bali. Thanks for another great video, Wayne.

I've seen that in India 🇮🇳, Mexico 🇲🇽, Colombia 🇨🇴 and Nepal 🇳🇵 tourists usually don't go out of the touristy areas just like you said Wayne. Therefore, they tend to say those things without having explored the other 90% of the area whereas I have. You get to see real local life when you do. I've lived in Colombia 🇨🇴 for 26 years and have explored so much. Great video Wayne with the info you got from that Balinese man.

Glad to see you are getting back. I recognise the area, we stayed near there (Jl Suweta) in January this year - a bit of a schlep into Jl Raya, but worth it for the relative calm. Interesting discussion with Sekar Tunjung guy: important decisions, from banjar to national government level are nominally made through musyawarah - in theory, everyone has a veto so discussion continues until they all "agree" (==accept), however reluctantly. Of course, in practice some vetos are more important than others! I hadn't known about the junior council, but of course now I think of it it makes perfect sense. Look forward to the next one!

Hi again. You may have done a video on this subject. But I am interested to know your story of living in Bali. Like how long you have been there, and especially how you have learned Bahasa? It seems you have lived in Bali a long time to be so good at the language . My partner and I are hoping to live in Bali in the future. Maybe 5 to 7 years from now. A simple life in retirement is our goal

Hey TGA. My Bali story is pretty simple. I first came in 1985 and have returned regularly ever since, sometimes for longer periods than others.My language skills aren't very good at all - hardly even basic, as many here will tell you. The more you come the more you will pick up, or you can do some dedicated study also as many do. Bali sure is the right place for a simple retirement. Good luck achieving your retirement dream of living in Bali. Cheers.
