My Two Favorite Balinese Interactions (so far)

1. Kent and I were on the hunt for a child's helmet for Fyo that he could wear on the motor bike and push bike (aka bicycle). We walked into one helmet store and asked if they had child helmets. The guy behind the counter said no. Kent asked where there was a store that sold child helmets. The guy said, "Some other place."

2. I want a push bike to ride around Ubud (because I'm still a little intimidated by motor bikes). So today, Kent sent a text message (the most efficient way to use a cell phone in Bali) to the guy he rented a motor bike from. Kent's text said: "Wife wants a push bike. How much is it to rent for one month."
The response? "300,000 rupea. But we don't rent push bikes."
