The Rooster Dilemma. Part 2.

It’s a wake-up call.

I am sad that foreigners who come to Bali Indonesia wish to push their stubbornness onto the locals. It is upsetting to me that this entitled behavior is sneaking up on Indonesia. 

Bali and Indonesia in general do not need this snobbish behavior. No, do not bring your politically correct bullshit here. I hate the fact that certain entitled people want to change Bali. People come to Bali to escape the crazy political correctness in Western countries. 

I feel that this is not progress.

Voicing an opinion about something is one thing. Go ahead and say what you want but do not push your agenda onto locals. Do not try to go and change history, tradition, and the way of life. 

If you don’t like it, leave!

I have touched on this subject a few times. No one is forcing any visitors to come here. No one is forcing groups or individuals to conform, transform or assimilate to the lifestyle here. 

Indonesia, stand strong and run your system the way you want it.

I am tired of these people… What’s next? Thousands of motorcycles scoot around Bali. There are traditional ceremonies that shut down roads and create havoc. 

Going to Canggu and some areas of Seminyak is torturous because of traffic and congestion. That is Bali. So do not go and try to change things when you do not live here. 

You as an individual chose to come to Bali. You came here to enjoy Bali and not to upset people. Do not force your way onto others because you are inconvenienced. 

In a nutshell. 

Come to Bali and enjoy Bali for what it is. Enjoy the quirks and uniqueness of this special place called Bali. If you do not like your location or your particular situation change your location or do not ever come back. 

There is no point to complain and cause problems in the Banjar or the community because you are an entitled asshole. Sure, the roosters and the noise they make may drive you nuts. Sure you get woken up at 4 am but you are the visitor here. 

So get yourself some earplugs and shut the #$%^ up! 

I am sorry… I have been coming here for decades. I have experienced much more in Indonesia than most people. I support the locals because I have had very pleasant and very good experiences here. I do not want to see this influx of negativity attacking the way of life here.
