This video was just as much about Balinese people, culture and life as any other. If anything, it was a more intimate insight than usual. Please thank your host family for their generosity in allowing us to see their beautiful way of life. And for looking after you.
I didn't consider that at all, Jac.I hope I don't start taking it for granted - thanks for reminding me. i like the cut of your jib, Jac. :) I will pass on your appreciation. thanks.
Wayne, I have lived in Bali for many decades, and I still enjoy daily life stories like yours. Never apologise for portraying 'real life' in Bali. I had my first Dengue (Chickungunya) episode a while back. Unlike , my neighbours, I had a mild version. I took a Covid rapid test to eliminate that. Symptoms are very much like flu, so plenty of rest, stay hydrated (Pocari Sweat), pain relief (Paracetamol). I was right again after a week. Take care.
Hi Malcolm. It's great that even after all this time the simple day-to-day goings on in Bali still bring interest to you. Dengue is a pretty godawful experience to have to endure and I hope we don't get a second serving. Appreciate the advice, thanks.
We're wishing you feel heaps. Better Wayne, just hearing you chat makes us happy. So we definitely don't find you boring, love your information and keep kicking on Wayne. Feel better 😊
It's really interesting añd helpful to show your interaction with your Balinese family. I actually like it better than outside the campung. Just lovely🎉
You did very well in delivering some good content Wayne, regardless of the fact that you're well "under the weather." Take care and let's hope you bounce back well and quickly.
So sorry you are unwell. Take care of yourself and thank you for making the effort to do a video. What a lovely guest house family you have found. Smart to stay around such caring people when you're unwell. Got some glimpses of the traditional carvings above the windows and doorways there. 😀 Rest up.
Weren't you on a plane recently back from oz? Most likely picked something up on board unfortunately. Hope you feel better soon. I am a new sub from Melbourne. Considered retiring to Bali but think it is too overrun by yobbo Australians for me 😁(especially the coast), though you are doing a good job selling Ubud as an alternate. You have a very engaging personality for youtube and I will keep watching. Interesting that you no longer feel the call home to Perth. I was in SE Asia and USA for 12 years and the call to come back to Australia became so strong I could no longer ignore it. Starting to feel my old gypsy ways again, hence considering Bali!
I considered I may have picked up something on the plane. I think some of us are just destined to roam, Daniel - it's just in us. Thanks so much for giving the channel a go. Cheers.
@Swimming11 My kids have lived in Bali for the past 13 years.Ive been going there for decades. If I was to move I would rent my house out, but I have no doubt I could be happy there.
I met Wayne personally in Udaipur, India last Decemebr and he's basically the same person on and off camera, a stand up person. That means a very nice person and honest. We had a wonderful chat at the rooftop of a hostel called Dreamyard or something like that.
I watch your inspiring videos daily and was wondering why you hadn’t posted anything. I absolutely love your cheery disposition and the way you interact with the locals. Hope to get back to ubud soon. Get well and speedy recovery Wayne. Rest up. Sandra from Melbourne 🙏
Get well soon Wayne, I am new to your channel and really enjoy your show. I am from UK but now live in Cairns QLD. Take care mate, drink plenty of water . Regards Pete
Thanks mate for your Day in the LIFE videos I enjoyed it as it shows the personal adventures of living with a family community. Hope your feeling better mate 🤘🫶
3:12 After trying one of those Bali Bum Guns, I haven’t been able to live without one. So much so, that I’ve installed one in my Camper. Wayne, have you seen any OverLanders driving bout in those parts?
Hi Wayne. Hope you feel better soon mate. No need to apologise for the video as i think it was informative and enjoyable. Your warning about the bidet pressure cracked me up. Some of my funniest travelling stories involve those bloody things. Looking forward to your next video. Safe travels.
Hey thanks, Sean. I've always found it a bit of humor when traveling with someone and not offering advice on the toilet guns - that shriek can be heard quite a distance. :)
Wishing you a speedy recovery Wayne. Your behaviour is well suited to the kind people of Bali. Ubud has always been special to me. Please keep blogging. Regards Baz
Sorry to hear that you are not well and wish you a speedy recovery, take it easy for a couple of days and hopefully back to your old self. Enjoyed the video and the lovely people and the walk around where you are living. Thank you.
Sorry to hear you are unwell. Thankyou for this video, it was lovely to watch and see how you interact with the people you live with. The way they care for you is why I love Bali and its people so much. Get well soon
Get well soon Wayne. Your hectic travel day back to Ubud would not help very much. You apologize for the not very exiting video but I find these videos very interesting. Normally we have no idea about Balinese daily life. Thanks to you and your ability to engage with the local population we get a glimpse of Bali life. As I said , I like it. Cheers, to good health.
Rahajeng semeng. Well done, what a trooper. Still great content, considering your predicament. Hope it's a speedy recovery. Emma and I are really looking forward to another coffee with you next time we're up. Suksma - mewali
First get well soon. Very cozy home, your terrace alone is worth half the rent. But rooftop comes at the price of heat. Try to avoid aircon. You will be sick much more often and never get used to the outside heat. Buy a more potent fan if needed. Showing the daily life inside the compound is very. The house is so full of nice details which you record just by chance. It will be nice to see how your relationship with the family will develop.
Those things leaning against the wall do look like ceremonial umbrellas. they can be quite expensive and only get used for special ceremonies, so they get looked after well, hence the covers to stop them getting dusty or dirty. Hope the recovery goes well.
Sorry you not feeling great, unfortunately one picks up viruses on planes, l even got Covid on a plane to the UK March 2023 Stay hydrated and plenty rest will be best, last March in Bali l needed to purchase a throat spray after my flight as l was feeling awful. Thank you for taking the time even though you are feeling bad 🙏🙏🙏 l love your setup and the Balinese are very kind caring people.
Thanks Wayne for taking the time and effort to show us around, giving us a glimpse into kampung life.......There is just so much we DONT SEE on a usual holiday trip to Bali. Having a close family in Mas, near Ubud that I have know for 12 years or more, I would often walk from Jln Bisma to their home ( suprising them sometimes ). Spending time with them and other families in Munduk I got an idea of family kumpung life, but your videos have allowed me greater awareness of all the intricaties of more of what is involved. With so many family units in the one kumpung it must be quite a balancing act to keep things harmonious. My friends in Mas didnt get along with the families ( his uncles ) that they were living with which did cause him some stress, but they just had to find a way to get along.....almost business like rather than happy families. Enjoy your afternoon nap and hope this little niggle passes quickly. 🙏💙🙏
Hey vicko. The family unit here appears to be quite a cohesive unit but I can understand how it might not be the case for some - family, let's face it. :)You seem to have a pretty long and close relationship with bali and some of its people. Nice!
Yes I really feel I do, but I tend not to intrude on peoples life so almost a challenge to EMBRACE to understanding and insights I gain from a SPRITUAL prospective. My first trip to Bali with 2 friends seemed to be conditional in that I would have the same holiday they had. Beach and massages all day and then nightclubs at night....ewww I was so facinated by the CULTURE, the ART, THE DAILY LIFE and how what I percieved as Chaos was Centuries of WOVEN BELIEFS, TROPICAL LIFE, A REPLENISHING WAY OF LIVING WITH NATURE....... THAT IS UNTIL THE TOURISM MONSTERS CAME TO TOWN. And yet somehow the Balinese still seem not to get lost in it all, most likely because of the practices and beliefs they hold Within. So my friends were annoyed at me for most of the week....and yet they began wanting to know what I was doing WHILST TBEY WERE HAVING A FUN TIME !!!!! WELL I WAS HAVING AN INCREDIBLE TIME OF DISCOVERY, OBSERVATIONS, CHATTING WITH LOCALS, THE MEANINGS OF THE ARCHITECTURE......AND ON AND ON. THEY JUST DIDNT THINK TO LOOK🤯 1 of them even commented.... ' Ive seen lots of beautiful things in my life....I dont need to see anymore'.......WTF...😂 HOPE TO START TRAVEL TO BALI EARLY IN THE NEW YEAR....WITH THE VIEW TO MOVE TO BALI WITHIN 2-3 YEARS. About them roosters......do you think they might be for fighting? 🫢🫣🤔😬 HOPE NOT...BUT?
It was a good podcast as nice to see everyday life. My first point of call for most issues is acupuncture and natural medicines. Often wondered what that availability is like in Bali. Rest well Wayne and thank you. ❤
Selemat Malam, Wayne. Kasian. Kabar menarik: internet & ac(needed in recovering from fevers) made all the difference when I had Dengue, cooling the body down, esp beneficial 4 aging bodies. Very cool getting internet in your room instead of traipsing outside to download videos. Feel better. Rest. Massage. Enjoyed Balinese. Never had med ins but will get it now.
@@fiascodagama1Despite what people think and have been told, covid has always been present since the pandemic began. My brother recently had it. Ended up in hospital. Was discharged whilst still testing positive. Ended up with double pneumonia and back in hospital, and he is younger than me. Please don't apologise for being sick-the effort you took to make this video took it out of you. Please rest and get well soon.
Semakin lama bergaul dengan orang lokal maka akan membuat semakin akrab & membuat hidupmu semakin menyenangkan. Keuntungannya maka akan semakin banyak orang lokal yang mau membantumu. Semoga cepat sembuh. (Biasa kalau pergantian cuaca dari musim panas ke musim hujan banyak yang sakit. Jadi, jangan terlalu letih, cukup istirahat, & cukup makan yang sehat. Apalagi di usiamu yang semakin tua, fisikmu tidak lagi prima).
I take a small digital thermometer with me when I travel because it's helpful to know if I have a fever or if I've just had too much sun. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I carried a small finger O2 monitor. Now, I'm considering wrist blood pressure monitors due to their size, but I'm unsure about their accuracy.
You need to go and get some ‘Tolak Angin’. If you can find a local circle K or Apotek, they will have them. Have a couple of sachets and it will help you get back to feeling good again.
@ no problem, they work wonders. I return from Bali last week and my fiancé wasn’t feeling the best. She had a couple of them and within 30 minutes she was feeling great.
Second this. I always carry sachets of these. I'm told it's for Masuk Angin, as is having your back scratched (called 'krok', I don't know how to spell it.
Hope you're feeling better soon. Balinese traditional cure is to put an elastic band around your thumb or your big toe for a day or 2, then your body will detox from whatever the cause is. You can move the elastic band from thumb or toe, if it gets too tight 😅
@@fiascodagama1 funny, "Spanner" in 2017 in Nusa Dua hospital dying from communal pneumonia after an ambulance ride from Ubud which took 55 minutes. I was told death came to my bed, BUT, now I travel prepared.
Hope U feeling better now. Bali. Is great. .. getting sakit there is not the good. Beem there. Get well. Big thanks. For ure information .. on. Bali. 😊 In few days. U being starving. Hahs
Wayne…kamu tidak pernah tidak menarik… you are never not interesting…. Karena kamu sakit ada bagus kamu ke di tingal di rumah… kamu tidak kuat tapi segara kamu akan sehat berjalan no problem…. ( because you are sick it is good you stay at home… you are not strong but soon you will be healthy and walking will be no problem…. Have a relaxing day Wayne and many thanks for the effort you put into the blog today 🙏
what beautiful paintings , That is why I stay a the same hotel they get to know you and i get to know them. If I have a problem I just go to the hotel owner or one of her adult kids for help. If anything happens when I am out and about I know the locals will always help or offer advice. If I move to Bali I would want to live with a local family and rent off them like you do. Do you apply for Kites and how often do you fly back home and for how long and is it cause of the visa? I like to know before I make up my mind if I move there for a long time. I also need to find out health insurance and the rest.
Jos, I'm currently leaving every two months but that will likely change on the next swing. I'll be applying for a Social Budaya or possibly another type of visa which will allow for six or twelve month period stays. If you're 60 years of age or over would a retirement visa serve you best perhaps?
The deal breaker must be the terrace outside. Views and winds. No neighbours. Sometimes I feel lower floors are windless and stifling. Top floor requires a bit of stair climbing but more exercise is good. I'm usually at Honeymoon Guesthouse at Bisma and ask for the 4th floor. Morning views of Gunung Agung and other mountains westward are a real bonus. As well as stars at night.
I love my balcony, it's view, and the Koi pond.. I'm with you on the morning views of Agung and the mountains - they're so majestic. I still don't know their names. I used to stay on Bisma once upon a time also and liked it. Thanks Dua.
Wayne $280 Aussie bucks for that is good considering it's getting expensive all over the world , especially the popular tourist destinations. I paid $260 US bucks in Pokhara, Nepal back in May. It had a kitchen. A nice family who own the 6 story building in the lakeside area. Hope you get better fastWayne. Nice family there looking after you.
@fiascodagama1 Cool 😎👍🏻 to know you watched it. The place is very well located and Raju the owner of the building speaks very good English and is very kind. I got a great deal with WiFi. No Air-conditioning was the only drawback if one's there during the hot 🥵 temperature season.
You look like you're struggling a bit in the vlog mate. Hope you get over it quickly. Your word of the day is from Yuday when she asked sakit kepala? = sick head or headache. There is also sakit perut = sick stomach or stomach ache. My favourite sickness in the Indonesian language is masuk angin = enter wind or to have a cold! You'll see the advertisements for medicine on tv and they are all asking "masuk angin"
@@SEAescapes25 What if I'm happy here, Mark? What if it's not just about the room? What if it's about relationships as well? Apologies if my choices don't meet your standards.
@@SEAescapes25 But it has a private pool on the balcony. *shrugs* And there's that temple in the middle of the host's home. I wonder when it was built, who did all that intricate carving, whether it built by an ancestor, if it's been in the family for many generations, what the carved images and patterns represent, when it is used, how are the offering baskets made, what offerings go in them, what happens to the offerings afterwards... Compare that with wondering if all the hotel rooms have the same framed print on the wall. I'm not knocking going on holiday with the aim of switching off and relaxing because that's a healthy thing to do. I'm just trying to point out that different people have different interests and priorities. And you're being a teensy weensy bit disrespectful towards a family, their home and a community. I'm guessing you wouldn't throw your left-overs on the floor of a hotel restaurant. There's an etiquette for rooming in community settings, too.
Hopefully your on the mend wayne , its never good feeling unwell at the best of times . Maybe hit the vitamin C usually helps anyway thanks again for a another great Blog. Cheers mate
In 1982 i participated in a festival out of town & the hospitality drink i was given ended up giving me Disintary! In the process i lost my lover , my roll of film 36 shots , beware this is a condition that people die from! Bali belly was a certainty, the running joke being, so nice to have a dry fart ! Lol
Mate I don’t get a cold or flu but went from the Maroochydore airport to Melbourne in may crook as a day later in October to Sydney and back same same I’ll be wearing a mask from now on unfortunately . Anyway Wayne my wife and I love your work thankyou from Noosa Heads qld
Could also be Covid, as this starts with similar symptoms (I had both that and dengue). Best take a test and if it's that, make sure to wear a mask for around 10 days so that you won't infect others. Sorry to sound like your mother (lol) and heal well!
Yeh, lot of people under estimate the value of good insurance. The best medical care we experienced has been in India, my wife got seriously ill overnight and I took her to the nearest private hospital, they did all the tests and kept her in for a week. I thought at the end (she was suspected of having dengue but it actually was a gall bladder issue) thank god we have insurance. The bill they gave me wasnt even enough to claim as it was less than the excess on the insurance. Look after yourself.
@@fiascodagama1 I forgot to say, if you crook with the flu, stay off those stairs for a few days mate. Sure they will give you room service lf you are crook. We had our honeymoon in Bali, 4 weeks. 1983. They told us we have 24 hour room service, just ask if you want something. I said theres no telephone in the villa. They said just tell the guy sleeping outside your door what you want. And there was. Not quite at the door but on the verandah.

@@fiascodagama1 Then I shall consider my jib well cut, thank you Wayne. 😄
Wayne, it’s nice to see you showing how You and the Locals really Live. I too am a Bule Kampung…….
Not boring at all Wayne, I found it very interesting to look around. The rice paddy paintings were great.
Take it easy.👍
Thanks Ian. The paintings are great, I agree.

@@vickokoszka6836 Hope the roosters are for breeding, but, well, you know how much the Indonesians love that sport.
It was a good podcast as nice to see everyday life. My first point of call for most issues is acupuncture and natural medicines. Often wondered what that availability is like in Bali. Rest well Wayne and thank you. ❤
I think there are some local alternative options. Thanks.
Rest and Soto Ayam could be on the cards Wayne, take it easy
Now soto ayam sounds like a plan!
great communicator great videos
hey that's really kind of you, Robert. Thanks so much.
We hope you’re feeling better soon. Semoga cepat sembuh.
Thanks guys.
Selemat Malam, Wayne. Kasian. Kabar menarik: internet & ac(needed in recovering from fevers) made all the difference when I had Dengue, cooling the body down, esp beneficial 4 aging bodies. Very cool getting internet in your room instead of traipsing outside to download videos. Feel better. Rest. Massage. Enjoyed Balinese. Never had med ins but will get it now.
Hi Liz. So many of us have had dengue now it makes me think it's almost inevitable if you'e in Asia long enough. Good to see you as always.
Hope you feel better soon. Lots of Covid about in Aus at the moment.🏝️🏝️🏝️🏝️
Thanks TWD. Someone mentioned to me COVID is alive and well in Australia.
@@fiascodagama1Despite what people think and have been told, covid has always been present since the pandemic began. My brother recently had it. Ended up in hospital. Was discharged whilst still testing positive. Ended up with double pneumonia and back in hospital, and he is younger than me.
Please don't apologise for being sick-the effort you took to make this video took it out of you. Please rest and get well soon.
Hope u recovering ok buddy , positive karma your ways 🌿🌿
Thanks, omeka.
Semakin lama bergaul dengan orang lokal maka akan membuat semakin akrab & membuat hidupmu semakin menyenangkan. Keuntungannya maka akan semakin banyak orang lokal yang mau membantumu. Semoga cepat sembuh. (Biasa kalau pergantian cuaca dari musim panas ke musim hujan banyak yang sakit. Jadi, jangan terlalu letih, cukup istirahat, & cukup makan yang sehat. Apalagi di usiamu yang semakin tua, fisikmu tidak lagi prima).
Saya pikir Anda benar karena orang Indonesia selalu lebih terbuka dan menerima semakin lama saya tinggal bersama mereka.Thank you.
Take it easy for a few days I’m sure you will feel better
Hi George. Yes, I won't be moving too far. Thanks.
Hope you’re on the mend soon :) rest up !
Hey Bridgette. Thanks so much.
I take a small digital thermometer with me when I travel because it's helpful to know if I have a fever or if I've just had too much sun. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I carried a small finger O2 monitor. Now, I'm considering wrist blood pressure monitors due to their size, but I'm unsure about their accuracy.
Carrying a little thermometer is a good idea.
Many people don't get temperature with Covid ,look it up ☺️
You need to go and get some ‘Tolak Angin’.
If you can find a local circle K or Apotek, they will have them. Have a couple of sachets and it will help you get back to feeling good again.
Hey Charlotte, thanks so much for the heads up on what to look for - I'd not heard of it before.
@ no problem, they work wonders. I return from Bali last week and my fiancé wasn’t feeling the best. She had a couple of them and within 30 minutes she was feeling great.
Second this. I always carry sachets of these. I'm told it's for Masuk Angin, as is having your back scratched (called 'krok', I don't know how to spell it.
That's a fantastic price for internet. I pay $89 a mth for 100 mbs here in Australia.
Yeah, it's pretty good, and rock solid as well.
Hope you're feeling better soon. Balinese traditional cure is to put an elastic band around your thumb or your big toe for a day or 2, then your body will detox from whatever the cause is. You can move the elastic band from thumb or toe, if it gets too tight 😅
On our recent trip I also became sick. Lucky, I had some Ivermectin and on day 3 was over the worst. Stay well and safe.
It's just such a spanner in the works, especially if you're only here for a week or two. Glad you were prepared a little.
@@fiascodagama1 funny, "Spanner" in 2017 in Nusa Dua hospital dying from communal pneumonia after an ambulance ride from Ubud which took 55 minutes. I was told death came to my bed, BUT, now I travel prepared.
Take care of yourself great family accomodation 😁
Hey Joanne. yes, they're lovely people. Very lucky. Thank you.
Take care of yourself young man
Thanks, Peter. A day or two of rest should see things improve hopefully. Cheers.
have a good rest Wayne look after yourself , love the blogs 👍
Thanks, James. Will do
I'm coming to Bali next week. I'm impressed with your updates... I would like to say G'day in person.... Where in ubud do you hang out?
I'm always happy to catch up with people. I'm available after 1pm most days. You can email me at fiascodagama@outlook.com
Hope U feeling better now. Bali. Is great. .. getting sakit there is not the good. Beem there. Get well. Big thanks. For ure information .. on. Bali. 😊 In few days. U being starving. Hahs
Hey Stephen. Thanks, I think we're on the mend. cheers.
Wayne…kamu tidak pernah tidak menarik… you are never not interesting…. Karena kamu sakit ada bagus kamu ke di tingal di rumah… kamu tidak kuat tapi segara kamu akan sehat berjalan no problem…. ( because you are sick it is good you stay at home… you are not strong but soon you will be healthy and walking will be no problem…. Have a relaxing day Wayne and many thanks for the effort you put into the blog today 🙏
Sure will be a lazy day today with not the slightest thing planned to do. :)
I regularly had viruses like that while living in the Solomons. Panadol, and take it easy.
Always wanted to go to the Solomon, cap.
Try to take some Seasalt aswell desolve it in a bit of warm water .
I always use keltik Seasalt for it good 4 your body get well soon
Appreciate it, SPC.
Rest up ❤
Hi jacqueline. will do. Thank you.
Hope that you're OK. We were In Ubud 10 days ago and caught COVID. Just FYI. The APOTEK was very helpful with some medicine.
Thanks Virginia. That must have been annoying to have your trip interrupted for you like that.
what beautiful paintings , That is why I stay a the same hotel they get to know you and i get to know them. If I have a problem I just go to the hotel owner or one of her adult kids for help. If anything happens when I am out and about I know the locals will always help or offer advice. If I move to Bali I would want to live with a local family and rent off them like you do. Do you apply for Kites and how often do you fly back home and for how long and is it cause of the visa? I like to know before I make up my mind if I move there for a long time. I also need to find out health insurance and the rest.
Jos, I'm currently leaving every two months but that will likely change on the next swing. I'll be applying for a Social Budaya or possibly another type of visa which will allow for six or twelve month period stays. If you're 60 years of age or over would a retirement visa serve you best perhaps?
The deal breaker must be the terrace outside.
Views and winds. No neighbours. Sometimes I feel lower floors are windless and stifling. Top floor requires a bit of stair climbing but more exercise is good. I'm usually at Honeymoon Guesthouse at Bisma and ask for the 4th floor. Morning views of Gunung Agung and other mountains westward are a real bonus. As well as stars at night.
I love my balcony, it's view, and the Koi pond.. I'm with you on the morning views of Agung and the mountains - they're so majestic. I still don't know their names. I used to stay on Bisma once upon a time also and liked it. Thanks Dua.
Wayne $280 Aussie bucks for that is good considering it's getting expensive all over the world , especially the popular tourist destinations. I paid $260 US bucks in Pokhara, Nepal back in May. It had a kitchen. A nice family who own the 6 story building in the lakeside area. Hope you get better fastWayne. Nice family there looking after you.
Hey Eddie. I think I watched that video on your channel and it looked like a pretty good deal.
@fiascodagama1 Cool 😎👍🏻 to know you watched it. The place is very well located and Raju the owner of the building speaks very good English and is very kind. I got a great deal with WiFi. No Air-conditioning was the only drawback if one's there during the hot 🥵 temperature season.
You look like you're struggling a bit in the vlog mate. Hope you get over it quickly. Your word of the day is from Yuday when she asked sakit kepala? = sick head or headache. There is also sakit perut = sick stomach or stomach ache. My favourite sickness in the Indonesian language is masuk angin = enter wind or to have a cold! You'll see the advertisements for medicine on tv and they are all asking "masuk angin"
Ha! I love it. Thanks Daniel.
Room at $280 is quoted in Australian dollars.
I pay less than that for a whole house with three bedrooms with two air conditioners in outer Jakarta. Then again it's not Bali. 😂
@@SEAescapes25 What if I'm happy here, Mark? What if it's not just about the room? What if it's about relationships as well? Apologies if my choices don't meet your standards.
@@SEAescapes25 But it has a private pool on the balcony. *shrugs*
And there's that temple in the middle of the host's home. I wonder when it was built, who did all that intricate carving, whether it built by an ancestor, if it's been in the family for many generations, what the carved images and patterns represent, when it is used, how are the offering baskets made, what offerings go in them, what happens to the offerings afterwards...
Compare that with wondering if all the hotel rooms have the same framed print on the wall.
I'm not knocking going on holiday with the aim of switching off and relaxing because that's a healthy thing to do. I'm just trying to point out that different people have different interests and priorities.
And you're being a teensy weensy bit disrespectful towards a family, their home and a community. I'm guessing you wouldn't throw your left-overs on the floor of a hotel restaurant. There's an etiquette for rooming in community settings, too.
I deleted Mark's last comment as it doesn't serve to create a positive and engaging environment.
Привет!Выздоравливайте!Берегите себя!
Hi Svetlana, thank you. Good to see you again.
Hopefully your on the mend wayne , its never good feeling unwell at the best of times . Maybe hit the vitamin C usually helps anyway thanks again for a another great Blog. Cheers mate
Thanks, paul. I might just throw a couple of Vc's down. Cheers.
Ginger tea, stay hydrated and rest.
Hey Brie. I think you're right. Thanks.
Take care mate
Cheers
In 1982 i participated in a festival out of town & the hospitality drink i was given ended up giving me Disintary! In the process i lost my lover , my roll of film 36 shots , beware this is a condition that people die from! Bali belly was a certainty, the running joke being, so nice to have a dry fart ! Lol
GJW, that's a pretty horrible thing to get, I reckon. Fortunately my condition was only the flu caught on a recent flight, I think.
It’s the f ing ✈️ ‘s Wayne
It definitely could be - the more I think about it probably is.
Mate I don’t get a cold or flu but went from the Maroochydore airport to Melbourne in may crook as a day later in October to Sydney and back same same I’ll be wearing a mask from now on unfortunately . Anyway Wayne my wife and I love your work thankyou from Noosa Heads qld
Could also be Covid, as this starts with similar symptoms (I had both that and dengue). Best take a test and if it's that, make sure to wear a mask for around 10 days so that you won't infect others. Sorry to sound like your mother (lol) and heal well!
Thanks Ninette. Anything but dengue - that is not a good time. :)
Yeh, lot of people under estimate the value of good insurance. The best medical care we experienced has been in India, my wife got seriously ill overnight and I took her to the nearest private hospital, they did all the tests and kept her in for a week. I thought at the end (she was suspected of having dengue but it actually was a gall bladder issue) thank god we have insurance. The bill they gave me wasnt even enough to claim as it was less than the excess on the insurance. Look after yourself.
Thanks, ian. I also found treatment in India to be affordable and very good at when i've needed it. Thanks as always.
@@fiascodagama1 I forgot to say, if you crook with the flu, stay off those stairs for a few days mate. Sure they will give you room service lf you are crook. We had our honeymoon in Bali, 4 weeks. 1983. They told us we have 24 hour room service, just ask if you want something. I said theres no telephone in the villa. They said just tell the guy sleeping outside your door what you want. And there was. Not quite at the door but on the verandah.
@@ian-f5f Ha! That is so Indian.
If you don't mind saying, how did you shatter your ulna in Cambodia? Sounds like you made the right choice getting to Perth to get that treated.
Hi Whale. I was jumped in a back street and robbed. My own fault.
@@fiascodagama1 thought it might have been a scooter. Wasn't expecting that. Damn.
Rest up Wayne....I would recommend some electrolytes, maybe try the Pocari Sweat drink. Always works for me!
Pocari Sweat might be included in the next outing. Thanks, Jay.
YOUVE CAIGHT THE FAMOUS
BUDDHA BELLY❤❤
Definitely something going on, Jammer.
Get well soon Wayne, drink ginger with honey and lemon , and sleep ....
Hi, NurRah. I wondered where you went - haven't seen you for a while. Thank you.
@@fiascodagama1
I am here , i rare write comment ...but always watch your video 😊
If ur going to be sick might as well be in bali, better than being sick in perth lol, take care mate. Hope u feel better soon
Hey moose, couldn't agree with you more. Thanks.
Hi Wayne
Rest.fluids ,Simple analgesia (Panadol,Neurofen).
Maybe some Vitamin C .
Be kind to yourself.
Get well soon .
Hey Jane, thanks so much.
Lemas - not strong. Keras = hard. Hope.it helps
Ah, OK.Thanks.
