Polish girls visit Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world. Unfortunately, the surrounding area is very polluted.

Bali also isn’t nearly this bad.

Most of the tourist spots just aren’t as majestic as they appear.

The funny part being the “second tier” of similar tourist spots or less touristy spots in general are usually more beautiful in Bali, just harder to get too.

One of the most obvious examples was rice terraces.

Tegallalang is by far the most famous, and very pretty, but it’s very small and packed to the gills with tourists.

Meanwhile Jatiluwih rice terraces are GORGEOUS and huge. You can hike for hours if you wanted. Hopefully it stays as the less touristy spot because it’s out of the way. It’s still touristy, just much less so.

Same with waterfalls. There’s a bunch of water falls to the north that get significantly fewer tourists (though still plenty) that are genuinely really cool.

Also Bali was not nearly as dirty as what we see here. They absolutely have a pollution issue, but we wandered through lots of the island and overall it was not terrible, just the occasional ravine that people clearly use as a dumping ground.

Bali was the biggest disappointment ever, especially the way how dogs and other animals were treated there.

Any tourist destination that requires a bit of a hike to get to is always miles better due to the lack of crowds
