Doesn't mean it's an excuse, and I'm always polite courteous and understanding in Bali, fucking love the place and my Tattoo artist is there, but I'm not going there to live.

If I want to live there my priorities are learning the language without accent, following local customs and ways within moral reasons as closely as I can. Obviously if the customs for example allow violence and assault against Women I'm not going to do that. But if it means I need to leave a bit of food left in my plate (I usually clean the plate to the point it doesnt need cleaning) to show my host I've had enough to eat, or refrain from PDAs in public because it's not considered polite, I'll follow it.

I'll 'assimilate'.
