The white husband part 2
The white husband?
The white husband? (Not mean to be racist, I am only presenting facts from my TikTok.) The grass is always greener on the other side, right? Well, I guess that depends on who takes care of the grass and how well it is maintained. No sexual innuendoes here, I am referring to relationships. I have known many foreign men who are divorced from their Indonesian wives. I am one of those men. My…

Let's meet the locals!
The locals in general.
Meeting locals in Bali. Riding the same wave as the previous blog. I feel I need to elaborate on the local aspect. In Bali, the tourism, hospitality, and retail aspect of the island are where business is at. In Jakarta it is much more business related, a different set of language skills is needed. For the most part, what is lacking in the locals is the confidence to speak. Meeting the general…

Why visit Bali?
Here is a blog about Bali!

Village Bule/Bule Kampung
This is different.
It’s been a while. There was a time in my life when a soap opera script a day was the norm. One script after another of some family’s life was in my head. That was back 20/22 years ago. For about 5 years my ex-wife and I wrote soap operas and movies for the Indonesian market. Since then, although I have written several books, I have not written many scripts. Mostly books and blogs and being…

They All Want Me to Join.
So Much Food. Seems that Indonesians must love to eat. Well I know they love to eat. Yet even with thousands of little roadside stands nearly half of our respondents hope that we can help their restaurants. Interestingly enough, they are all seeking help in growth and advertising. Getting more clients and customers is the key. Yet for these roadside restaurants, it is often hard to create…

We Keep Growing.
103 Forms! We have asked people to fill out forms in the Telegram group. One, they are Google forms, and not everyone is familiar with them. Two, many of them said they cannot open them, but they were probably afraid to fill them out. No matter, we asked them to fill in the same information on WhatsApp. We had 103 forms filled out and about 50 more on WhatsApp. That is just over 10 percent of…

Answering a friend's Call.
Answering a friend’s Call. I have touched on my friends in Kintamani Bali before. The other day he called and asked if I could change his website, and add something different to it. This seemed easy enough and I asked him what he wanted. He sent me a link and I said I would look into it. What seemed very simple to both of us, is not as simple as one may think. There is a website, go click on…

What's on Telegram?
What’s on Telegram? So with basic lessons on the way, I am stressing how important it is for people to know about your business. One thing is to drop the pins on Google maps. What they do not tell you is how to claim that pin. How is a simple person to know about claiming that pin? By filling out the form and waiting for a physical letter to arrive in the mail? Who gets mail these days? Then…
