@@Patates2024 No the three of you that commented clearly do. As a race that’s been excessively oppressed for a while now, it gives us pride and hope to see each other succeed. For you guys to come to this specific video and comment to STILL try to take that away from us makes you three the racist. Let us enjoy our success. Let us be proud to be black AND successful something that not too long ago wasn’t possible. Stop trying to put us under the same umbrella of hate your kind has had for us for centuries. We don’t hate or care about other races, go forth and seek your own success, but don’t let that stop us from loving eachother. Also blame your ancestors for the fact that saying your white and successful carries the stigma it does if not being able to say it bothers you so much, NOT us.

As a Balinese, I am happy that many tourists want to live in Bali, but please learn Indonesian and mingle with local people. I sometimes find foreign who live in Bali for more than years but can't speak Indonesian at all, and somehow life is very separate

[@jenaya_laila2442]

I love your comment! I also think it is a sign of respect to speak( or at least try) the language of the country that you are moving to. I also saw separation in Bali if not worse, downright disrespect for the Balinese! It was heartbreaking..

[@SherStug]

You are so right about this! Was thinking the same. 🙏🏾💜 Westerners are often used to be more egocentric so its really good that Balinese people share their true opinions and critique on living there and how to show respect and live in harmony together.

Yeah. With the American Dollar worth more in other areas of the world, it can really go far there vs. not going as far in america. Let's take healthcare for example. A medical procedure for thousands or tens of thousands of dollars here, can cost roughly less than $70 to maybe a couple hundred at most in other parts of the world. Medical tourism is a popular thing. :) Check out how far your dollar can go and how you can be a benefit to others with what you have and investing in yourself and in others/ business is ALWAYS good for ANY country.

Many Indonesians have the same skin color as you..... just saying. Glad you actually mentioned Balinese people in the last 2 minutes of your video, I fully understand that it is a give and take situation, and that the local people also profit off foreigners living there, it's just that I have seen so many occasions where foreigners, whether tourists or expats, feel the urge to isolate themselves and treat locals as "the help". Please encourage your followers and potential clients to mingle, learn, and be kind to the native people.

[@GUESSMYZAIS]

Great advice.

[@bjosh02]

It goes both ways. You dont realize how you make look from a foreigners point of view. Being American in the US, and having soooooooo many cultures and living among people speaking different languages, I'm sure they may feel out of place. Not knowing the language and how to navigate. It can be scary. Not everyone is as welcoming as they believe to be.

[@natblabla1]

@@bjosh02 Moving to a foreign country one should always make an effort to learn at least essential parts of the language and customs, preferably learning from and with local people. If the only reason to move is economical, meaning trying to live like royalty on the cheap, not respecting the people you are profiting off, I am not surprised that some are not very welcoming. Yes, different cultures, language, food, etc. can be scary, of course... it is the way we overcome those fears that may make us better persons, and make people accept and possibly even like us.

I loved Bali for the authentic food, the land, the treatment, the culture... Everything‼️ they treated us like royalty... They exuded kindness everywhere‼️

The u,s dollar amount goes far in bali

[@jaclyn2001]

I am so happy I stumbled upon your videos while researching how to move to Bali shortly after college graduation. I want to move around August or September. I need all the advice I can get. I’m nervous because I’ll be all alone but I want to meet people like me and the natives that just love life and want to live more freely and be surrounded by nature:)

[@jennyjones6758]

I moved out of the US in 2015. Since 2 weeks ago, I've been considering moving to Indonesia and suddenly see this video. Indonesians are some of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. It's an easy choice. Thanks for the info.
