Hey georgia. Thanks so much for that. Very kind.

Hi Ron. This is Perth, Western Australia.

@@fiascodagama1 wow. beautiful. Thank you for responding. Love your videos

Hi Brad. Nothing like that feeling!

I guess you'd say semi-retired, Ron. Thanks for saying hello.

@@fiascodagama1 no problem. Please keep making more videos. Your life is very inspiring

Locals are very patient and it feels like even the simplest is appreciated. And I agree it's probably one of the easier languages to learn and worth learning a couple of words if you're coming. Thanks, bd.

Hey, Pangeran, thanks so much.

Hey monster. Thanks for taking the time to say hello, I appreciate it. I think even the most basic grasp of the Indonesian language gives the trips taken here much greater value. Thanks for the kind words.

@@fiascodagama1 I look forward to future videos, hitting the replay to hear the nuances in your banter. Thanks again 👍👍👍

Thanks so much, ian. I'm a bit of a slow study so it helps to have others nudge things here and there. thanks for taking the time.

Hey Stephen. Really appreciate your kind words, thank you. Wow, seven hundred words - wish i was where you're at. You must be getting pretty excited about the trip with it being so close. Thanks so much for saying hi. Cheers.

@fiascodagama1 Yeah, a lot of words, but without practice, I don't know how to use them. 😔 So I wish I was where you are, more like 😎. I'll let you know if we're around for a coffee one morning. I'll just leave a message on your latest vid. We're on jl monkey forest

@@stephenprescott4441 Coffee sounds good. Feel free to email me at fiascodagama@outlook.com if you prefer. Cheers

Hi nunganungable. No, I haven't seen them, but then again i haven't really been looking for them as i'm not familiar with the food. But now I am thanks to you and I'll keep a look out for it. Thanks for the tip. Cheers

Hey, S1mmo, that's really generous of you to say. Thanks so much for having a look at the little vids, I appreciate it.

Hey bluefish. Your timing is pretty good as I plan to take a look at street food sometime next week. And yeah, I agree with the contrast between the predictable and sterile nature of a lot of western architecture and Balinese buildings. Sorry to hear you had a bad run with some food in Asia, i think it happens to us all eventually. Thanks for dropping by as alaways.

Hi Bethany. I hope you get here in December and can squeeze in a few more days to really enjoy the place. But be careful as the islands grows on you and becomes a bit addictive. Thanks so much for dropping by, and thanks.

GoPro Hero 8, erilaguilera. Thanks for watching.

Thanks momo.Saya belum pernah mencoba nasi jingo sebelumnya. Terima kasih, saya akan mencoba mencarinya - jika saya ingat.

The Dutch influence can still be seen throughout indonesia. Good to see you, deny.

Hi Nurah. Thank you. I hope you are well.

Hey there, riverleigh, how are you? Thanks for continuing to say hello and offer your opinion - I value it! Hopefully the bahasa will improve quickly or you'll be hearing the same conversations every seond day. :) Thanks again.

@@fiascodagama1 Good thank you and sama-sama, actually a fellow sandgroper although half mexican (country vic) about to embark on a journey likewise.

Hi digustrail. i will be back in India for sure because I love the country. thanks for saying hello.

@@fiascodagama1 Visit North-East India. I am from Assam, staying in Mumbai. After a long time I found your video on RUclips. Wish to meet.

Hi Michael. that's great information to share as the Ubud monkey forrest is pretty over run these days, and not by monkeys. thanks for stopping by with some advice. Cheers.

Hi betty. Sorry to hear you got bitten, that must have been frightening. The crowds de seem to be younger, that's for sure. The nasi bunkus I eat is 70 cents a packet and really7 tasty. I'll try remember to get a cheap meal for you. Thanks as always for saying hi.

@fiascodagama1 I feel at home in Bali and feel my best there so it is nice to see your perspective 😊

@@bettyboop7426 It's strange how some places just resonate with us, isn't it? Hope you get back soon.

@fiascodagama1 Back in March to Ubud,been 32 years since first visit 🌼

@@bettyboop7426 I'm happy for you that you're on your way back!

Very kind of you, daniel. thanks.

Ah, that would make sense if the monkeys did move elsewhere during covid. Cheers, steven.

Appreciate you taking the time to watch any of the vids, steven. hopefully they'll improve with practice. Cheers.

Hey, Chris. Thanks for saying hi.

Always nice to see you, Svetlana. Thanks as always for taking the time to say hello.

Thanks so much, Haron.

Hi, phil. I think the video is a few days, maybe a week, old now and the rate does fluctuate a bit over time. i'm also happy to take a small hit on the rate knowing the place I use is trustworthy. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Cheers.

"Secret RUclipsr goats.."I don't think anyone has said anything nicer, or funnier on this channel - please stay!

@@fiascodagama1 haha, made it up on the spot. Your Bahasa is great, I tried to learn years ago and couldn't get anywhere :)

@@piersey The bahasa is an ongoing struggle. laughed at regularly for butchering it. Cheers.

Hi Phillip. There's a reason Ubud is so popular and although the centre can get a bid hectic I think it's a great place to visit. Hope you enjoy your stay, and thanks for saying hi. Cheers,

@@fiascodagama1 I was in Ubud 6 weeks ago and I loved it so much I booked to return in 2 weeks time. Yes, the main street is busy but as you say, you only have to walk down some of the side streets and it is quite peaceful. Do you currently live in Bali? It is something I would consider for at least part of the year to get away from our Melbourne winters.

@@philipbewley1490 Currently living here, phillip. I think i'd like to make it long term as I also enjoy it. Cheers.

@@fiascodagama1 Perhaps I'll see you walking around town in a couple of weeks when I'm there. I'll say hello if I see you.

Hi chucky. Still learning and hopefully not offending too many. Cheers.

Sure will, marg. Thanks for saying hello.

Hi Tye. Thanks. I'm a beginner in Indonesian so I hope I don't get it wrong for you. :)

Hi Esther. Health and travel insurance sure do make the eyes water the older we get. I'm reluctant to endorse or promote the company I use as I've never made a claim with them, and it's only by making a claim by which one can judge the quality or standard of their product. Thanks for saying heloo.

@@fiascodagama1 thanks for your reply. I was interested as to whether your $500 a month included insurance. Glad you have it & haven’t had to use it. It’s so good to see someone content in life, you show how we don’t need a lot of material things but rather a different attitude from most of western society & building strong relationships much like the balinese themselves with their strong community ties.

Money changers haven't got the greatest reputation, that's for sure. I think everyone has preferences as to how they travel due to personal experience. I've had card fraud/theft before while traveling so I'm reluctant to have that experience again. Cash works for me, and of course you should use what works for you. Cheers.

Hi blackdox. No, I was never a reporter, but gee, thanks so much for the compliments. I actually get a bit self-conscious talking to the camera and wonder what the heck I'm doing most of the time. Appreciate you saying hello bd. Thanks.

IM still learning

Same as my Indonesian. :)

@@fiascodagama1 you can t speek indonesian bahasa

Gee thanks, Diane. I'm so glad you enjoy them. Thank you for dropping by to say hello.

I think Ubud was always going to become popular, but EPL was like throwing fuel on it all. It's still a great place, though. Thanks for saying hi, SEAescapes.

@@fiascodagama1 No problem mate, enjoying your vids, people could call you cheap but the best eats are in the hole in the wall places 👌🥢

@@SEAescapes25 Couldn't agree with more, and I'm the first to admit I'm a bit of a cheap Charlie. :) cheers

@@fiascodagama1 Nothing wrong with that, I've done alright financially but I seek out the simple life in Bali, it's not about what you have sometimes it's about what you want 🥢👌

@@SEAescapes25 It takes some of us almost a lifetime to work out what our wants are, but hopefully we all get to a place with a bit of peace in the end. Living simply in Bali is definitely a stress free, peaceful kind of an existence where demands are minimal.

Hi Richard. Yes, sorry. The RUclips algorithm is an unknown quantity and doesn't respond to some titles but likes others - it's hard to get it right as a relative new channel. Hopefully I'll learn what works so it doesn't happen often. Apologies again for any inconvenience.

@@fiascodagama1 Here's my comment in Jakartan's version: "You" can be either 'Lo' or 'Elu' I is 'Gue', but most of the time it's abbreviated as 'Gw'. Elu ngubah judul videonya ya? Jadi bingung gw.. kemana tuh video? Karena (mostly abbreviated as Krn) gw baru nonton setengah. Well, at least videonya udah balik.. 👍🏼 (I translated the last sentence as "Well.. at least the video is back, because if I say "I'm glad it's back" (Gw senang videonya udah balik) feels unnatural.

@@richardm51 Thanks, Richard. I appreciate you taking the time.

Hi Liz, thanks for dropping by. Bali is indeed a great place and you can live here under different visas which is what I'd like to do eventually, I think. Do you mean Kerala, India? There are definitely many places one could put down roots in the world, that's for sure. I hope you get the chance to return to Bali one day. Thanks again.

Thanks, Pangeran. Have a great day;.

Ini tempat yang bagus. :)

I saw you earlier at the Ubud art market, using a black motorbike DK 2221 and black clothes, is that true?😅

Me too, Jen. It's something I'd love to do, but of course you don't want to be intrusive or disrespectful so we'll play it by ear - I'm hopeful. :)

Hi ekoroses. I'm not sure exactly but I am here for a few months more - I'd like to live here permanently. Thanks for saying hi.

@@fiascodagama1 i like Vidio about Bali because there are alot of bule from any country

@@ekoroses Many bule here from many places for sure and makes it an interesting place to meet people.

@@fiascodagama1 yaa 👍this right your name fiasco dagama

ok good night see you again 🙏🙏

Hi. I'm from Australia.

Hi riverleigh, that's really kind of you. Thank you.

@@fiascodagama1 Your welcome, it was well deserved so an easy compliment.

Ya, dia mungkin sibuk. Cabai Padang paling teruji. Thanks for saying hello.

Well, what can I say? Replying in such depth to help me with the Indonesian language is very kind and generous of you, Richard. Thank you! I'll copy and paste your very generous post to go over the first chance I get. Having some guidance as to how Indonesians speak in a more casual way is really appreciated as it will hopefully make people feel more comfortable, and as a consequence, allow for better conversations and exchanges. I'm in your debt, Richard, thanks again.

Hi jenny. There's no A/C or insulation but does have a fan - there's also no hot water.There is a small kitchen which i believe is available for use and wifi, the one router services the entire compound of guest rooms and family. The new price wasn't mentioned.
