    I find it funny that in your scooter a horn button is so large and a tiny indicator light switch is hidden below. But from watching videos of traffic in SE Asia I've got the impression that honking is the only way of signaling on the road 😛 Nice video BTW, I'm somehow experience motorcycle rider but I've never ridden a scooter in my life 🙂

    Hi Melanie, thanks for the video. How is the situation in Bali now? Moving freely around the island? Any other restrictions? Visas issued easily? Thanks, Predrag.
    PS. Don't wait again 4 months for the next video :)

    • @MelanieGuintu
      @MelanieGuintu  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Predrag, you’re welcome. Thanks for watching the video! People are still wearing masks and getting their temperature taken and offered hand sanitizer. And yes I am moving freely around the island, no crazy restrictions. A lot of rumors are going around, but nothing set in stone just yet.
      Visas are still being issued, although it sounds like the KITAS visa is on hold for now.
      P.S. I was definitely enjoying my time in Bali within those first 4 months. Looks like time flies when you’re having fun 😉
