    I watched a ton of Bali video and just recently stumbled upon this one. Very well screen played and directed and edited. Not the new aged short clips flash and bang type of clips but a very well organized compilation of thorough information and hidden insights! Good stuff and appreciate the efforts in making this clip!

    As for clothes, I bring my own detergent from home and hand wash all of them. Easy peasy and rather enjoyable task once you get in the habit of it.

    I recommend to not bring any white clothings. The water in Indonesia in general is not that clean so white clothings end up becoming off white even when you wash it by yourself in a home washing machine

    But I suggest giving Legian a big miss. It is almost all australian owned sports bars,tattoo parlours (everywhere), massage parlours (almost everywhere).It is full of venues pumping out loud music all day and night so if you want a quiet dinner you will probably find just a couple

    There are few local Balinese mosquitoes, many tourists mosquitoes, they are on vacation to Bali from various countries in the world, just like humans they also want to taste some variety of food ( eat a variety of local and tourist blood ) 😂😂

    How far are these places from each other? I mean can you stay in one and reach another on a hired scooter in an hour or two?

    • @MikeAndFriends

      Sidemen and Lovina are too far for a scooter. Canggu, Ubud, Uluwatu are accessible by scooter.

    • @MikeAndFriends
      @MikeAndFriends  Před rokem +3

      I wouldn't take it as far as that. There are a couple of instances where you might feel that but it gets drowned out by the huge amount of extremely lovely people who are there when you need them.

      @@MikeAndFriends Sure, I get that you liked Bali overall and you apparenly have your reasons. I just prefer places where the nature is unspoiled and treated with care not only by visitors but also by the locals. When you go to New Zealand, Tasmania, Hawaii, British Columia, Wyoming, Iceland, Switzerland etc you can enjoy our beautiful planet in more responsible way... at least the waste you inevitably leave behind it not thrown straight into the ocean.
