MySelf said:Now, what "does it take", not to get swamped by the obvious present less praisable parts of Bali, and enjoy a life here?, what "does it take" to not wanting to post things like Balibounder1 and others have posted?
I somehow think its a pity that this, in my eyes very important, issue seems to die.
Many of us have read Py's exellent post about the differences between the perception of Expats and Tourists of paradise.
You can say all the bad things you want about Balibounder, but he is not alone in his opinion.
I am wondering, if there would be a way that could change the perception of a Balibounder and the likes of him / her?
When I first came to Bali, I also had to go to a process "of learning to see Bali as it is", my Harry stories are a part of this.
And do I now know Bali?, after just 3.5 years? No, I am far from that...
