Several years ago I made friends with a waitress, she is the same age as my daughter, she was so sweet & gave us such good service, each visit we met up. 2 years ago my sister & I asked Dewi if her parents would like to come to dinner as our guest. We went to a nice restaurant in Seminyak, through Dewi I invited her parents to order whatever they wanted from the menu. Her parents spoke no english, but smiles mean everything. They ordered nasi goreng, nothing with meat, Dewi said they were happy eating that as they tastes were simple. We had a lovely night, took photos. Later Dewi told me they told everyone in their village about going to dinner, and how honoured they felt, it was their first time ever at a restaurant. Just another reason why I love Bali, those beautiful, beautiful people, I miss them so much.
