Penjor "Hey I am coming to Bali, can you recommend me things to do?" I got that question a lot. I get it, I live in Bali so people would think that I master everything about Bali. Well... 50:50. I happened to travel around Bali since 2017. So it wasn't wrong to assume me knowing Bali. But I am also a lazy traveler so I don't always do many things in one place. That is why we will call this a rough guide to Bali. First thing first, define your style of traveling. Because we all know that Bali is an island. Not a city. So it is quite big, you know. You can not explore all of it in two weeks. Well you might be able to do so, but probably not immersing enough of it. So... what is your style of traveling?

Few times ago I've wrote about smartphone and our life. why? because I think people need a phone in life, also smartphone makes some parts of life become easier right?
But I have a student, he is older than me, and he don't have a phone. My reaction was, "WHAT?? you don't have a phone? even an old phone?? REALLY??". When I ask him why, he just said "I just dont like it". Just yeah you know, people start to use a smartphone these day, but he isn't.

You are available 24/7 for everyone, and that thing can exploid (not literally) at any moment so you have the stress of knowing that any moment someone can contact you. It also is a surveillance tool that telecommunications companies and governments use to spy on people, and not only on terrorist....but just average people. You also lose the focus on your surroundings when you have that thing with you all the time". *he also told me about the advantages*
I realize really, sometimes smartphone make me stress. It is right about the disadvantages that he told me. But I need a phone to work. I have all my materials of teaching on phone. The disadvantages is just the affect side of having phone (or smartphone).
They give me another ways of thinking. one of the reasons that lots people do is "Lose the focus on surroundings when you have that thing with you all the time".
