Vires in numeris

As an expat / nomad, I'm part of #Bali's change and part of the problem. So I try to minimize my impact by:

- supporting small businesses from locals

- learning the language

- respecting religious places and rituals

- being mindful about my ecological footprint

- living together with a local

What else can I do?

#Bali has changed. It isn't the same as when I first visited in 2009. On the other hand, I can't find a place in Asia that ticks all the same boxes:

- Awesome, kind, friendly people

- Affordable

- GREAT food for all budgets and tastes

- Beaches with waves for #surfing

- Mountains and volcanoes for #hiking

- Cultural & Spiritual heritage

- Diving, fishing and other marine activities

I see a lot of posts about Gaza and Palestine on my social media, and it makes me feel guilty. I do keep up with the news and care about what's happening, but I don't feel the urge to share about this specific issue. Aren't there so many other injustices in the world? The root causes of these problems seem more complex.

How can I help people understand that fixing the money, might be the key to fixing the world, without sounding preachy?

There area couple of crypto communities on #Bali. Should I visit them or will it just be a cringe collection of degenerates?

Back in Indonesia! Where I learned to love again.

Time flies when you're having fun

Why is #Vietnam compared to other #ASEAN countries so goddamn cheap?

After spending almost 6 months in Indonesia, #Vietnam feels like a refreshing breeze. The work ethic, speed & service is all around a stark contrast with Indo. Maybe it's just #HCMC?

Back in Vietnam!

It's amazing

Malaysia is a true melting pot of cultures and religions. But I feel I has only little unique identity? Or is it this melting pot that makes it unique?

Kuala Lumpur is hot!! Old vs new

Next destination : Malaysia! What to expect?

I didn't know HSBC was a HK/Shanghai bank. Now it starts to make sense. Their name is still on some of the fiat bank notes.
