On clear days, the location draws long queues, with more than 50 people seen lining up for a photo in April. But what was meant to be a tourism

Pregnant in Bali?

It’s ok, It Happens All the Time…

So this young lady messaged me on Instagram after watching a TikTok live of mine. She wanted to meet me. We agreed to meet as she was already in Bali. This happens often, but more often than not; the meetings do not take place. Oh let’s meet, grab a coffee, go to the beach and show me around Bali because I have never been. However, I usually I never meet people because social media is very different from real life. Sometimes it is because when I chat with them, they ask for money. More often than not, that is reality.

As the weeks went by I saw that my supposed to meet up with this young lady would not happen since she had posted several IG stories with a man. So as it would happen to many young ladies, she had met up with someone. This is Bali and whirlwind romances and one-night stands are always on the menu. Alright, I thought to myself…and…I forgot all about it until the other day.

Then I Got The Message!

Sir, can I ask you something? Something could be anything and it is usually about money. I was ready to just say, no I can’t give you money, no you cannot stay at my place and no, I will not be your guide. I cannot and would not spend a week with you unless… I really like you and even then it would be a bit too soon for us to move in together. Needless to say, the next thing that came out of her chat was…

I am pregnant and the father…

No way, could never happen right? Well, it did and how? Ok well, we know how, but was it really him? After 2 weeks, could she really tell? Was this man being set up? I’ll never know but at least it’s not me. Did I dodge a bullet? Maybe, maybe I would have been the accused. I’ll never know thank goodness. She didn’t want to abort the baby, she wanted to keep her man or boy responsible and wanted to go to the police. The police would hear this day in and day out. There is no foul play, no rape, no case. 

Another One Bites The Dust?

Oh hell yes. Putting aside abortion and all that, it would have been best for her to not have sex and would be best to not have the baby. Her life in Indonesia as a single mom is done and over unless she has support from her family. However, let’s look at the facts. She contacted me, she reached out to me and wanted to meet. At the same time, she was most likely messaging other men and arranging meetings. 

This is normal in Bali, especially if she is specifically seeking a Caucasian man or a Bule as it is known here by slang. The prize of a white man and mixed baby is the goal, she will most likely have the mixed baby, but the Bule boyfriend and husband, well she will have to go hunting another day, or 9 months from now 🙂

I was originally going to make a snarky post about how the dinosaurs on this old Cuban stamp (posted by stamps@toad.house) look like kangaroos, but then I wondered whether there might be some reason for their weirdness. There was, and it involves tourism and prisons.
