So there goes the rooster.
Now as I mentioned in parts one and two… The whole apartment complex had been thoroughly examined by the local immigration office. This one American idiot has to cause us discomfort because they want to start a petition to get rid of a pile of roosters.
What about the cats, dogs, children, and Lato?
So how about the cats? I was woken up at about 3 am while two cats in heat had an amazing fight outside my room. Shall I start a petition for cats to be hauled off or put down? Hell no, there are earplugs I could buy right? There is an easy fix. I could move to God knows where to have complete peace and quiet.
How about the dogs?
Yes, well there are plenty of dogs barking in the area. The last count was about 12 dogs within the 50m vicinity of my place. The constant barking and whining are not pleasant. Does this mean we need to get rid of the dogs?
Hell no…
Does this mean we need to move?
Hell no!
Do we go and create a complaint?
Hell no!
Do we need to move?
Hell yes!
If you do not like it you have a few choices. Move, get earplugs, or go home.
What about the children?
More often than not I hear kids crying, yelling, and screaming. I hear people playing Lato, the game where there are two balls on a string being knocked together.
It is worse than any ping-pong game one could play. It is an annoying trend and people knock these damn balls together until they are nearly deaf. Oh yes, they do stop but again that is not the point. Do we need to be so North American and raise hell over minor inconveniences? No, no, no. Let the locals be. Unless they are abusing you, hurting you, or causing real discomfort, there is no reason for the ex-pats, visitors, and tourists to bother and raise hell with the locals. You will be leaving, and you may never come back. You may be banned and if not maybe you should be banned. Smarten up people and please, as for the locals, push back and do not be pushed around by visitors to Bali.
