Hi there Fiasco, your walking talking videos are great…. You are doing exactly what I like doing when visiting Bali, you lead a simple (serdehana) life but ever so full of engaging with local people who, as you say, so very willing to speak with you…. Yes I might know a few more words of Bahasa but I can’t match your courage to initiate (the talk…. Berbicara) Have a good day friend🙏
Gday Wayne..I just love your wanderings through Ubud. We're coming to Bali soon... thanks for showing us the real side of this culture & community. Happy days to you.😊
The key is learning the language if you really want to connect with locals, even though most speak English. I think you are proving that. I like to stay in Ubud but I pretty much just sleep there. Bali for me starts where tourism stops.
Just discovered your very well constructed videos mate and being long time visitors to bali really enjoying the free bahasa Indonesia lessons. Apparently Apparently
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.
Hi again. Im doing some research of the entries and towers you have wondered about. Candi Bentar split gate as the entrance from the outer realm is the name of the gates and doorways and the lower realm or outer courtyard, then the gate to the middle courtyard is called Candi Bentar and the gate to the temple and shrines is called Kori Agung. The small towers are called the bale kulkul or bale kul-kul (Balinese "drum pavilion") is a Balinese pavilion where a slit-log drum (Balinese kulkul) is placed. It is essentially a drum tower or a watch tower. A bale kulkul can has a civic function, such as those used in villages as a mean of communication; or for religious function, an integral part of Balinese temple architecture. I hope this helps. Ive pilfered most of this info from wikipedia but I hope it helps. Thanks for taking me away with you.
An Indonesian in Sydney, you know Bali much more than I do. I’ve never been in Bali for more than 3 nights, hope to visit the island soon in December. I like your videos, please keep them coming, take care 😊 🙏🏻
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.
Do really love the ornate doorways, really shows the blandness of Western architecture now a days. I was going to ask about the food, I love street food but got unlucky last couple times in Asia, certainly weary of any kind of chicken or pork that has been sitting out.
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 there. My wife and I have just discovered your chanel. We absolutely love your style. Kami ke bali sering kali Pak. Im up to about 700 words now and have a few teachers there (pelayan) Kami selalu tinggal di Ubud and Sanur and, in fact, are up there in about 10 days or so. Be well. We'll be watching you from here on 🙏🙏🙏
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
My recent time in Bali was as always wonderful. We spent 3 weeks there including one week in Ubud. It was so sad to see beautiful Ubud we visitied about 7 years ago so overwhelmed by traffic that is now chaotic. We stayed out of town which still peaceful but could take over an hour to get an Uber into town. Still sad to leave and hope to return soon.
Hi Susan. it seems we share the same sense of loss for parts of what Ubud used to be, but are still drawn to it for what it always was. I hope you're able to return soon. Thanks for saying hi.
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.
Wayne do you come across the 'Bubur Ketan Hitam ' sellers , That's one of the reasons Ikeep coming back to Bali ,Kopi A.B,C and a large plate of bubur ketan hitam .What a way to start your morning ,pure bliss ,do yourself a favour
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
No monkey forest for me after being bitten in Palawan without even seeing monkey. I never tire of the carvings&ornate doors 🚪 I popped into 9Angel Warung this year&felt like a fossil full of alternative crowd. I was curious as you pay per scoop of food,it would amuse me if you popped in for a budget meal. 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.
Your Indonesian is coming along , where you use the word "lihat" should be "rupa" or "muka" which means appearance or face. As in "mukamu mudah" (your face looks young.)

Hey Victor. We share a similar joy of a simple life and walking the back lanes taking it all in. Thanks so much for taking the time, Victor.
I have a fascination with doors as well ! Absolutely love how beautiful they look .
Ah, splendid, another door person. :) Hi Sue.
Absolutely love your walking and interacting…. Sama saya… saya sangat senang dengan Kopi Bali …. rasanya baik (tastes great)🙏
It seems we both might share a coffee addiction, Victor. Thanks as always.

You probably know of some nice spots on the island unaffected by things which is great. I understand how you would want to steer clear of it all.

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

Loved the walk about
Hi janet. Thank you. It's an easy place to wander that's for sure. Thanks for saying hi.
Really love your channel. Much Appreciated.
Hey, S1mmo, that's really generous of you to say. Thanks so much for having a look at the little vids, I appreciate it.
Always great watching!! Thank you! 😊
Very kind of you, daniel. thanks.
Apparently most of the monyets moved elsewhere in search of food during coving as there were no tourists feeding them.
Ah, that would make sense if the monkeys did move elsewhere during covid. Cheers, steven.

Terima kasih untuk video yang bagus 😮
Hi Nurah. Thank you. I hope you are well.
Mantap bro
Thanks so much, Haron.
Are you self taught in Bahasa language Wayne ?
Hi Brie. Just picked it up after being here a few times now - that's why it's quite bad and riddled with mistakes. Fun trying though. :)
Kamera apa ini pak?
GoPro Hero 8, erilaguilera. Thanks for watching.
Keep it up pak
i like nasi jinggo especially warped with banana leaf, cheap and tasty
Thanks momo.Saya belum pernah mencoba nasi jingo sebelumnya. Terima kasih, saya akan mencoba mencarinya - jika saya ingat.

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.
I love your channel. Are you retired ?
I guess you'd say semi-retired, Ron. Thanks for saying hello.
