Wayne, I have lived in Bali for many decades, and I still enjoy daily life stories like yours. Never apologise for portraying 'real life' in Bali. I had my first Dengue (Chickungunya) episode a while back. Unlike , my neighbours, I had a mild version. I took a Covid rapid test to eliminate that. Symptoms are very much like flu, so plenty of rest, stay hydrated (Pocari Sweat), pain relief (Paracetamol). I was right again after a week. Take care.

[@fiascodagama1]

Hi Malcolm. It's great that even after all this time the simple day-to-day goings on in Bali still bring interest to you. Dengue is a pretty godawful experience to have to endure and I hope we don't get a second serving. Appreciate the advice, thanks.

Weren't you on a plane recently back from oz? Most likely picked something up on board unfortunately. Hope you feel better soon. I am a new sub from Melbourne. Considered retiring to Bali but think it is too overrun by yobbo Australians for me 😁(especially the coast), though you are doing a good job selling Ubud as an alternate. You have a very engaging personality for youtube and I will keep watching. Interesting that you no longer feel the call home to Perth. I was in SE Asia and USA for 12 years and the call to come back to Australia became so strong I could no longer ignore it. Starting to feel my old gypsy ways again, hence considering Bali!

[@vickokoszka6836]

Thanks Wayne for taking the time and effort to show us around, giving us a glimpse into kampung life.......There is just so much we DONT SEE on a usual holiday trip to Bali. Having a close family in Mas, near Ubud that I have know for 12 years or more, I would often walk from Jln Bisma to their home ( suprising them sometimes ). Spending time with them and other families in Munduk I got an idea of family kumpung life, but your videos have allowed me greater awareness of all the intricaties of more of what is involved. With so many family units in the one kumpung it must be quite a balancing act to keep things harmonious. My friends in Mas didnt get along with the families ( his uncles ) that they were living with which did cause him some stress, but they just had to find a way to get along.....almost business like rather than happy families. Enjoy your afternoon nap and hope this little niggle passes quickly. 🙏💙🙏

[@fiascodagama1]

Hey vicko. The family unit here appears to be quite a cohesive unit but I can understand how it might not be the case for some - family, let's face it. :)You seem to have a pretty long and close relationship with bali and some of its people. Nice!

[@vickokoszka6836]

Yes I really feel I do, but I tend not to intrude on peoples life so almost a challenge to EMBRACE to understanding and insights I gain from a SPRITUAL prospective. My first trip to Bali with 2 friends seemed to be conditional in that I would have the same holiday they had. Beach and massages all day and then nightclubs at night....ewww I was so facinated by the CULTURE, the ART, THE DAILY LIFE and how what I percieved as Chaos was Centuries of WOVEN BELIEFS, TROPICAL LIFE, A REPLENISHING WAY OF LIVING WITH NATURE....... THAT IS UNTIL THE TOURISM MONSTERS CAME TO TOWN. And yet somehow the Balinese still seem not to get lost in it all, most likely because of the practices and beliefs they hold Within. So my friends were annoyed at me for most of the week....and yet they began wanting to know what I was doing WHILST TBEY WERE HAVING A FUN TIME !!!!! WELL I WAS HAVING AN INCREDIBLE TIME OF DISCOVERY, OBSERVATIONS, CHATTING WITH LOCALS, THE MEANINGS OF THE ARCHITECTURE......AND ON AND ON. THEY JUST DIDNT THINK TO LOOK🤯 1 of them even commented.... ' Ive seen lots of beautiful things in my life....I dont need to see anymore'.......WTF...😂 HOPE TO START TRAVEL TO BALI EARLY IN THE NEW YEAR....WITH THE VIEW TO MOVE TO BALI WITHIN 2-3 YEARS.

First get well soon. Very cozy home, your terrace alone is worth half the rent. But rooftop comes at the price of heat. Try to avoid aircon.

I wonder when it was built, who did all that intricate carving, whether it built by an ancestor, if it's been in the family for many generations, what the carved images and patterns represent, when it is used, how are the offering baskets made, what offerings go in them, what happens to the offerings afterwards... Compare that with wondering if all the hotel rooms have the same framed print on the wall. I'm not knocking going on holiday with the aim of switching off and relaxing because that's a healthy thing to do. I'm just trying to point out that different people have different interests and priorities. And you're being a teensy weensy bit disrespectful towards a family, their home and a community.

Do you apply for Kites and how often do you fly back home and for how long and is it cause of the visa? I like to know before I make up my mind if I move there for a long time. I also need to find out health insurance and the rest.

Jos, I'm currently leaving every two months but that will likely change on the next swing. I'll be applying for a Social Budaya or possibly another type of visa which will allow for six or twelve month period stays. If you're 60 years of age or over would a retirement visa serve you best perhaps?

You look like you're struggling a bit in the vlog mate. Hope you get over it quickly. Your word of the day is from Yuday when she asked sakit kepala? = sick head or headache. There is also sakit perut = sick stomach or stomach ache. My favourite sickness in the Indonesian language is masuk angin = enter wind or to have a cold!

Hi Svetlana, thank you. Good to see you again.

[@ian-f5f]

Yeh, lot of people under estimate the value of good insurance. The best medical care we experienced has been in India, my wife got seriously ill overnight and I took her to the nearest private hospital, they did all the tests and kept her in for a week. I thought at the end (she was suspected of having dengue but it actually was a gall bladder issue) thank god we have insurance. The bill they gave me wasnt even enough to claim as it was less than the excess on the insurance. Look after yourself.

[@fiascodagama1]

Thanks, ian. I also found treatment in India to be affordable and very good at when i've needed it. Thanks as always.

@@fiascodagama1 I forgot to say, if you crook with the flu, stay off those stairs for a few days mate. Sure they will give you room service lf you are crook. We had our honeymoon in Bali, 4 weeks. 1983. They told us we have 24 hour room service, just ask if you want something. I said theres no telephone in the villa. They said just tell the guy sleeping outside your door what you want. And there was. Not quite at the door but on the verandah.

@@ian-f5f Ha! That is so Indian.

If it does not get any better in 24 hours, go see a doctor in the hospital. If you stay in Indonesia, it is better to have local insurance or BPJS (national health security system) if you have a work license. The insurance premium per year is around USD.300-USD.500 or more, depending on the benefit. The BPJS will cost you 1% of your earnings every month, and another 4% will be paid by the employer/company you work with. Since you are a tourist, it is better to have private insurance coverage. Get Well Soon!

[@fiascodagama1]

Thanks for the information on a local health insurance provider, SO..

[@thewhale222]

If you don't mind saying, how did you shatter your ulna in Cambodia? Sounds like you made the right choice getting to Perth to get that treated.

[@fiascodagama1]

Hi Whale. I was jumped in a back street and robbed. My own fault.

[@thewhale222]

@@fiascodagama1 thought it might have been a scooter. Wasn't expecting that. Damn.

[@digustrail]

She has given you the best suggestion to take medicine and not to drink alcohol.

[@fiascodagama1]

Hi dig. Yep I kinda agree.

[@dalecollins-smith3551]

Lemas - not strong. Keras = hard. Hope.it helps

[@fiascodagama1]

Ah, OK.Thanks.

[@AnDi-w6r]

If you feel sick, just endure it for 1 or 2 day it will get better after that,,, i usually do that when i get sick lk when im feeling dizzy or sick i do it......bt don't just sleep or sit, doing smth all the time, keep moving your body so you wont feel lazy and your body will not become weaker,,, so juss do something, lk walking, running, or whatever it is,, bt ofc taking medicine is also important, so yea you also need medicine to make your body feeling much better

[@fiascodagama1]

Hi AnDi. Thanks for the advice and concern. It's appreciated.

[@rexblueskyes2450]

You would like to know how much natural herbs that are used for flue, It's not a good use for the tabs you just received. Jamu to update the need for Zink. Tea Sirsak with Clove, lemon and honey will help 90%. along with rubbing oils we have to take immediate care of the sore muscles. Eating Kelor, full of Vitimans B'S, VIT C, Mag, The list goes on. Iv'e been living here for 20yrs. Have my own garden full of all fruits. Your Channel is the best, love to wait for your next release.

[@fiascodagama1]

Hey, Rex. Really appreciate you going to the trouble of suggesting some cures. I get thye impression you've got an impressive garden.

[@moosehanson8899]

If ur going to be sick might as well be in bali, better than being sick in perth lol, take care mate. Hope u feel better soon

[@fiascodagama1]

Hey moose, couldn't agree with you more. Thanks.

[@peterfoenander6234]

My Doctor told me he has quite a few people seeing him after trips to Bali.

[@fiascodagama1]

Bit of a hot spot for it maybe.
