after many visits to wonderful Bali I have found a wonderful phrase simply "SINLA PISS" not sure on spelling ,but sound is right...... quite simply means "I have no money" the balinese we have found just have a good laugh and back off amazed at your grasp of indo.lingo but will come on strong if they see you go into an ATM or catch your wallet,,been caught with the come up the back ally for hair braids and walk out with fingers toes painted,t shirts ,sarongs carvings ect, and not much change,,but you learn pretty quick ,just walk on by sigla pissing ...........cheers pete
