Choose from a wide range of delicious teas: https://www.cajovebedynky.cz/ The guest of the WORLD podcast was Dominika Pajgerová, with whom we talked about her life in Bali, Indonesia. 80% of the island's inhabitants rely on tourists for their livelihood, so they have to tolerate a lot of things from them. However, they take the tourist offenses against their culture very seriously, so we asked Dominika in the podcast what you should avoid as a foreigner in Bali. Dominika further describes why Bali is ideal for remote work. Thanks to the time difference, she starts working at three in the afternoon, and when the Czechs go for lunch, she enjoys the sunset. Bali is well-equipped for working expats, from European-style cafes to entire communities of foreigners who have brought their culture here. That's why you will find a Russian Orthodox church or a Czech restaurant with svíčková in Bali. On the other hand, under the onslaught of tourism and intensive construction, Balinese nature is disappearing. In the podcast, Dominika will also recommend places in Bali where you won't meet many tourists. You will learn what the cost of living is in Bali and what you must try from Indonesian cuisine. In the podcast, Dominika admits that her first impression of Bali was different than she expected, but she eventually overcame the culture shock and finally found her way to the island. Come and discover Bali too. We hope you enjoy listening! Do you have an idea for an interesting guest or topic? Let us know!
