    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!

    @@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.
