Well, yes and no-it really depends on where you are and how you approach people. Sometimes, people may be reserved or not open right away, especially if they’re not used to seeing foreigners, but generally, if you’re kind and respectful, they’re kind back Even if they don’t speak English, we’ve been able to get by with body language-it’s usually just basic things like food, drink, sleep, how much, petrol, or asking for directions. And you always learn some words in their language like hello, goodbey, how much, numbers, thank you etc etc, . The people here are often smiling and friendly, and even though they might look like they don’t have much, I think they’re really rich in their way of life :)
@@tony.travels ah man bless, hows bali nowadays? isnt to busy?, last time i been in bali was 2016, i like it, but less busy areas. nature and food is great
@@usonearth Yeah it's cheap and if you get out of Canggu and go North of Ubud it's so beautiful. Also, I found the Balinese to be some of the nicest, happiest in SE Asia for some reason. I'm also a single guy and being out in the isolated jungle, while it's where I prefer, means I'll die single.
@@tony.travels yes I had the same experience since you escape canggu, kuta, ubud and go up north, north west, it’s completely different place and you can enjoy more of authentic Bali. I want to experience more of Indonesia so bad:)) I hope to catch u somewhere around buddy, enjoy your travels 🤟🏼
"dangerous and isolated route by {motor}bike" ...no it isn't at all. that's youtuber falang b.s. it is a well trodden dirt road connecting two villages in Lao. there is absolutely nothing dangerous or isolated about it.
Thank you buddy you sound great 👍🏼 I talk to someone for whom can be dangerous, there is no signal, Google maps don’t work, the road is washed of the rain with the big potholes, slippery clay and thick dust, very bumpy (my heaps started to hurt and had a headache from all shaking ) river crossing etc.. some motorbikes can’t even pass it u know what I mean. And if u are experienced bike driver with big dirt bike that’s not a problem it’s fun and great adventure I get it :) I was driving 110cc detach it’s a pain on butt but it works :)) you should watch the video, you skipped. Thank you for commenting buddy have a beautiful day ✌🏼☀️⚡️
