    Good. These people do such a disservice to westerners who actually want to travel and have prepared appropriately

      These people are aspiring entrepreneurs, nobody is forcing you to give them money. If you can’t afford to patronize their business then start your own instead of complaining.

          I don’t have to try at all. I’ve been to Bali 4 or 5 times in the last year and I’ve never had a problem with these traveling merchants. It’s the locals that really get on my nerves.

              It’s still a business, they’re just selling more of an idea than a physical good. If it’s so easy why don’t you do it? Some people just like to sit at home and complain about the entrepreneurs that actually go out and do things.

                  Think about the all time greatest and smartest men to ever live, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates etc. How did they all get their starts? They asked for some handouts and they got them. You have no idea that these people in the photo aren’t the next great innovators, but if they never get the handout to start, we could all be missing out.
