I spent 17 days in Bali and Gili that were as unreal as a dream. There were countless happy things, but the biggest feeling I had was separation. In Bali, there are many luxury clubs that beat European nightclubs, excellent coffee/roasting, and fantastic hotels and restaurants. If you want, you can have the same quality of life as in Europe at 1/10 the price, and the streets are full of them. White people I don't even feel like I left the Netherlands.

But at the same time, poor infrastructure has created congested traffic; the sewerage situation is very poor, and no matter how high-end the bathroom is, don’t throw toilet paper into the toilet; some poor locals try their best to help you and some try to fxxk u over; There is also the famous bali belly, where life seems to be without running water. The most common scene is probably that of Tourists wearing extremely cool clothes laughing heartily, while locals wearing conservative clothes and expressionless faces pass by. The two groups of people somehow coexist harmoniously without interfering with each other.

We happened to meet several restaurant owners during our Trip. The French owner of one of the restaurants at gili T told us that his monthly cost per employee was 170 euros. Because costs are low his profits are much higher than at his restaurants in Europe.

We live here like local emperors. Half a day spent at a beach club is equivalent to a month's salary of locals. Countless people from Europe and the United States come to spend money like us. Yes, the tourism industry is very developed, but the situation of the local people seems to never get better. Before we left, we gave our private driver a million-dollar tip (sounds like a lot of money, right). The driver was particularly touched and kept saying that we would have good karma, and I hope bali/gili will also have good karma.
