You mean Indonesia, not Bali. Bali is only one island in an archipelago of thousands of islands including Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Lokbok, Borneo Sumba, etc. But as in the comment about Vietnam, public transport and other infrastrure is not the best.
Or maybe she meant Bali and not some random island 🤷🏻♂️
Most people are attracted to Bali, not Indonesia in general
She writes “countries: …Bali.”
The person you replied to is correct, Bali is not a country.
She’s not going to be able to live in Bali on 1000 a month. It is not at all comparable price-wise to the rest of SEA due to its popularity
Yes she can. Can get a guest house for $300-400, a motorbike rental for $80, eat at cheap warungs for $1-2 a dish. This doable even in Canggu.
Ha! She named a specific place, and you say, "Oh, what you really mean is not the exact specific place you said, but the less specific, more vague and general area that includes not only the actual place you meant, but also lots of other places that you didn't want to indicate at all." Just so you can flex that you know something. That's like if you went into a bakery, and asked for a croissant, and pointed at it in the display case, and the baker says, "Oh, you mean that you want a baked good! A croissant is just one specific type of baked good. I have lots of different baked goods. There are ..." as the baker starts listing them off individually. "Yes! But I want a croissant! That's why I said croissant, and my finger is literally pointing at the exact one that I want!"
Bali is not a country.
It's like someone going to a grocery store to buy fruits and choosing apples, oranges, grapes and then a cake. They are all foods but one is not the same (one island) than the others (a country) Sad that some people don't see the difference. The OP stated they are choosing a country to visit. Bali is not a country.
