I also got to just feel bad seeing everyone around me hungry all the time and any people I had met locally I had to feed them to feel at all ok about the scummy place. What made me the sickest was the expat business owners who paid their maid worker women 50 dollars a month knowing that they had two kids and a lazy husband to feed and the kids were all starving all the time while these greedy expat, mostly women lived a life of luxury. I have recently bought a condo in Malaysia for those very reasons and thank God I did not do this in Bali. Mostly the expats in Bali hang out and complain about the Balinese but really anywhere you stay a long time you become exactly the same as the locals. I also wanted to pass on my last departure experience from Bali Airport to Singapore. I had purchased a one way ticket on Garuda to there and the meathead (orangutan, I eventually called him that)at Garuda would not let me check in as he said I had to have an onward ticket to my home country. Boy, did he love the power there. So I had to buy a seat on Singapore Airlines for 400usd to get out of the airport.<br /> Tonyrhinoboy55https://www.blogger.com/profile/12473324267919950225noreply@blogger.com
