Can you rely on Balinese people?

Same, same...but different...

Question is can you really rely on them for keeping their word, being punctual, faithful, honest, diligently doing a job for you...?

a) ever

b) never

c) sometimes

d) most of the times

At least it's safe to ask these questions about Balinese people.

Imagine you ask the same questions about yourself...

As the next guy also Balinese people respect and like reliability.

After a handshake on an important business deal if you get a text message “Sorry, deal is off” wouldn’t you be slightly annoyed?

Or looking forward for a meeting with an old friend and receiving a message “Sorry, I'm busy” - probably you wouldn't be too happy either.

In a nutshell, people too full of “Oops, sorry...” are usually not on a top of our desired companions list :)

In long run, in most cases you somehow get what you give.

Person full of empty promises will experience rather more b's than somebody true to his word.

If you are as good as your word, well, you will likely meet a lot of reliable people (not just Balinese).

Yes, I know, you are still waiting for the exact right answer to our initial question. If you are just thinking of hiring a guide, doing a booking for a hotel, buying a ticket...

Or if you are thinking about investing here or doing business in Bali.

If you accept the fact that all the above answers are correct, you will not be disappointed.

However, in Bali you can always rely on a good dose of warmth and laughter – and at the end of the day this counts a lot :)
