The locals here are just as interesting as the island itself. Besides being tour guides, they have other jobs as well. And they do take time of to enjoy their own island.
Some sell food and snacks for a living, while some others cheat tourists into paying them money by forcing them to buy something, e.g. placing a flower bud on your ears, saying that this would please the Gods and ask you to pay for that flower bud. They may be so poor to the stage that they are using different tactics to survive here at the outskirts of Bali. Still, there are lots of good people around. Just remember to keep small changes in your wallet, so that you can give exact amount to them. Most of them do not have small changes in their pockets.
The Jimbaran beach sunset is quite a stunning one, and therefore lots of wedding photographers like to bring their clients to these areas for wedding shoots.
This local fisherman heads out to the sea during high tide to affix the fishing nets. He collects the harvest the next morning.
Some others would spend their time preparing for their religious celebrations.
Some lazy ones would just hang out and wait for time to pass.
The kite seller sure have a pretty and nice kite for sale.
Monkeys at the temples may look harmless, but they are in fact notorious. So don’t follow suit of the lady in the dark clothing. Her sunglasses were snatched by the monkey moments later.
Lots to see and do in Bali, with the people there, it’s even more interesting. So get to know a few locals around, but remember to be not too friendly, else they would rip you off when you dine or purchase something!
