Hello everyone I'm a newbie here.
I find the topic that Py brought up (apparently a couple of years ago) fascinating. I'm not a bali expat but I am Indonesian and I am an expat, just not in Indonesia. I'm always fascinated by what other people around the world think about our country and that is the main reason why I like to follow forums such as this one.
I've only been to Bali a few times and most of my knowledge about the Island, believe it or not, has been acquired from bali expats than from a Balinese. I don't know it that's good or bad. I do have a question for you guys. What do you think of Indonesian locals, such as me, jumping into the discussion where obviously they are looking things from different perspective and don't necessarily experience the same problems that expats & foreign tourists are experiencing in Bali? I'm interested to hear pros & cons. No holds barred. I can take it.
