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!
Great info. Love it!
Bali is amazing place. I appreciate the detailed breakdown of all the best places to visit and things to do in Bali and very proud of your accomplishments to partake in different cultures around the world.
perfectly structured and complete guide. great work
the video is an excellent example of how to create a complete and informative video. It is well-organized, well-edited, and visually appealing. I would highly recommend it

AMAZING!! information👍👍👍 tell us more about the how to? Visas….short term…long term…
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
What hotel is that @15:40? Looks beautiful
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

Luckily in Bali there's something for everyone :) that's the beauty of it
Where is the beach at 16:00?
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.
Does Gojek ONLY work on cash basis? Not credit card?

Wow, an honest review :) I had some doubts in regards to Bali, now I can see it's an overhyped dumpster and scammers paradise. Thanks, but no thanks.

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.
