Oh no you should of seen the traffic later on it was terrible I was also later on eating at one of the restaurants on the other side of the road all you could hear was whistling and cars honking.
Is this the beginning of the end of Bali as everyone remembers it. Is this the move to the Americanisation of Sanur? I hope that the family businesses can survive this type of "Big Business"
Indonesia punya kebijakan melindungi pengusaha kecil menengah dan tidak terlalu kapitalis seperti Amerika. Dan Mall2 di Indonesia mungkin 40% wajib mengisi Mall2nya dengan barang2 lokal.

There are many modern malls in Bali, most have a wider choice than Icon Bali and at least three are bigger with Living World Mall for example, which only opened a few months ago, being more than double the floor size despite Icon Bali's nonsensical claim to be the biggest mall in South East Asia.
Mall ini sebenarnya diperuntukkan untuk orang lokal. Karena orang lokal suka berbelanja sambil jalan2 didalam mall yang adem karena dipenuhi AC. Dimanapun tempatnya di Indonesia mall akan selalu ramai karena orang Indonesia suka berbelanja.
Many thanks for your kind words, i just enjoy what I do and love sharing Bali with everyone who watches my videos. No drama and click bait titles on this channel, i do what I do for love not money🙂
young locals look with envy, longing and dreaming to have what tourists have, knowing they cannot and live in poverty being paid $1-2 per day. This is not Bali, this is commercialism aimed at tourists using locals to make profits. Its sad really sad to see.
I cannot speak here and say what is really going on In Bali. But Bali is moving forward to try and attract a different kind of tourist domestic & international.
Once you are inside that could be a shopping mall anywhere in the world plus the only people that will be able to afford to shop there are tourists and Expats
Anda terlalu meremehkan orang Indonesia.. Setiap kota besar di Indonesia mempunyai Mall yang sangat besar dan setiap hari selalu penuh dan itu tidak hanya satu mall bahkan Jakarta sendiri memiliki 200 mall. Ntah apa yang ada didalam otakmu sehingga berpikiran Mall di Bali itu bakal sepi dan hanya dipenuhi turis mancanegara dan ekspatriat. Lihat video itu baik2..!! Bukankah itu semua orang Indonesia dan turis mancanegara cuma 10%..?? Mungkin media dinegaramu terlalu sering memberitakan hal buruk tentang Indonesia maindsetmu jadi terpengaruh.
@@WarzoneOfficial22789Siapa meremehkan Ndul...!!! Dia komen turis tidak menyukai mall karena di negaranya juga punya banyak Mall, banyak yg lebih bagus dan bikin bosan. Dia menekankan ICON Bali di penuhi orang Indonesia bukan dipenuh turis mancanegara. Turis sadar mereka gk suka Mall, gk suka belanja . Sedangkan orang Indonesia suka semua itu😅. Jadi Mall ini untuk orang Indonesia saja😂🤣
like many Malls in Bali, they are for tourists (why i dont know) the staff are paid about $1-2 per day, slaves and live in poverty. I certainly dont go anywhere near these places as bali has much more to offer.
@@balibygary9718 as a financial supporter of a few balinese families, I am in touch with their earnings and lifestyle since 1993. wages are extremely poor and what we pay for a cup of coffee is more than many of the earnings of these youngsters and older local people
Mixed feelings happy for the locals. Can’t see a lot of shopping bags 🤔I won’t be visiting too busy relaxing and visiting local shops ❤️
Wow see u soon Bali ❤
Ìdy llic resort in sanur. This town doesn't need a shopping mall. Becouse I'm repeater. Ì love SANUR forever.

Thank you for your video
You're welcome🙂
Mantab
thank u so much for showing me this...I love your content...I am going back there in September 😊
Many thanks, the mall is far from finished, i personally do not think it should be open, i hope it is finished when you return in september🙂
Great update Gary. Thanks. Hopefully traffic is more settled by i arrive in Sanur in Aug
Gary your vlog is by far the best one we have seen re this mall opening..you are so informative clear and professional...keep it up thank you.
Many thanks for your kind words🙂
Realy is good...❤
Yes it's a beautiful design mall but still a long way from completion
The mall was huge and tad busy but it was great going to the opening
Yes will be fabulous when they complete the work
I have such mixed emotions of this structure being in Sanur
Some will love it some will loath it but this is the new Bali now and a sign of future plans for the island.
Very nice👍
Yes it's a beautiful mall🙂
Good to see the traffic was not too bad
Time will tell with the traffic🙂
Oh no you should of seen the traffic later on it was terrible I was also later on eating at one of the restaurants on the other side of the road all you could hear was whistling and cars honking.
@@Violet-Elizabeth yes i have recorded the street tonight down to sindhu the traffic has increased
I'll pass. I don't go to Bali to shop I Western style shopping centres.
Is this the beginning of the end of Bali as everyone remembers it. Is this the move to the Americanisation of Sanur?
I hope that the family businesses can survive this type of "Big Business"
This is Bali now

For the local population it's a bad development..too expensive..for the local shops it's not positive.
@@fransvangoolen2972 that's your own personal opinion based on what?

Good coverage. Thank you.
Finally, Locals have a nice decent mall and don’t have to go to Jakarta or Singapore .
Yes indonesian love shopping😃

Excep that the location is a nonsense
Bali island looks awsome , great view Bali is the best place in australia island👍👍👍
What the fuck are you on about Bali isn't part of Australia !
Looks amazing, but I'll still use the art markets😊
Icon is a different kind of shopping experience to the art markets it's full of shops many people will be familiar with in their own countries🙂.
Mall ini sebenarnya diperuntukkan untuk orang lokal. Karena orang lokal suka berbelanja sambil jalan2 didalam mall yang adem karena dipenuhi AC. Dimanapun tempatnya di Indonesia mall akan selalu ramai karena orang Indonesia suka berbelanja.
I went thru it a few days after opening…felt like an airport with high end shops, expensive food and a traffic jam out the front!
Yes it will be interesting to see how icon progresses in the next few months.
Im visiting Bali for the first time in November. This is what we intend on escaping, not going too. So different to how I picture Bali to be.
This is the new Bali now, love it or hate it this is the direction Bali is moving in
@@balibygary9718 such a shame.
I won't have to see it now 🤪🤪
It's a beautiful mall but it does not feel quite so special due to all the on-going work.
@@balibygary9718 yeah it's spoilt the opening, it's screaming we need to generate income
Who is the best camerman on Bali??? Gary of course.
Many thanks for your kind words, i just enjoy what I do and love sharing Bali with everyone who watches my videos. No drama and click bait titles on this channel, i do what I do for love not money🙂
Your glasses r very nice. Where did u get it?
Uni qlo
I’ll continue to support the locals; might stop in to use bathrooms…
🤣😂
Unless nature makes you go on the way as traffic stuck you
Soon in Bali desembr
Not long to go😃
Hello Gary, great architecture and mall 4 lovers of shopping. Young people must love it! Thanks.
Yes it's a beautiful mall but so far off completion, i wish they would have waited before opening such a beautiful building.
young locals look with envy, longing and dreaming to have what tourists have, knowing they cannot and live in poverty being paid $1-2 per day. This is not Bali, this is commercialism aimed at tourists using locals to make profits. Its sad really sad to see.
and its not architecture, its a big cold concrete box building with shiny tiles, built with slave labour, nothing to be proud of.
I am sure some people will love this, but it is not my idea of Bali. I visit the big shopping centres at home under sufferance
I'm with you 100%.
This is not Bali.
@@LarsAndersen-ig9yt in Singaragah is a department store but for local Balinese & it is fabulous

@@balibygary9718it looks like locals mostly I don’t think it’s aimed at tourism more Denpasar, Sunday’s will be very busy
21:14 Lego store
Bali's neighboring Surabaya mall is much bigger... the mall in Surabaya has 5 tall buildings in 1 mall
Bali kalau punya segede itu pengunjungnya akan kurang dibanding besarnya mall, secara provinsi Jawa timur 10x jumlah penduduk Bali
Once you are inside that could be a shopping mall anywhere in the world plus the only people that will be able to afford to shop there are tourists and Expats
I think you are wrong on this, i see many indonesian at all the malls (many more than tourists), they love to shop and also have the money to do so.

@@balibygary9718and above all they like the air conditioning 🤷♂️
As usual not many free sitting places , I noted none facing the sea 🤷♂️🙄
The largest in ASEAN
@@francisthegreat4064 i don't think it is i am pretty sure living world mall in Denpasar is bigger than Icon
how far is Icon mall from seminyak?
Around 12-16km depending on which area of seminyak you are staying
45 minutes - 1 hour because of traffic
@@medicay3340could he even more in a near future
@@franciscouderq1100 LRT in the future
the price land in sanur more expensive
Using Sanur as a location for such large Mall is idiotic at best due to the already suffocating infrastructure.
Looks like used car yard from the street
The store won’t last , people just window shopping
It will be interesting to see🙂
Bali is the most congested place in the world.. 😂😂
Really????
😢
like many Malls in Bali, they are for tourists (why i dont know) the staff are paid about $1-2 per day, slaves and live in poverty. I certainly dont go anywhere near these places as bali has much more to offer.
