点评:Our experience in Mayong Village was truly unforgettable, and Dedi made all the difference.
Dedi was born and raised there, and you can genuinely feel it in every story he tells and every explanation he gives. His enthusiasm, his deep connection to the land, and especially his respect and affection for the people working in the fields came through naturally throughout the entire experience.
He explained everything in very clear and accessible English, making it easy to understand even for those of us who are not fluent. He adapted the pace to us, was always attentive, and had an incredible ability to listen and understand our needs. What could have simply been a walking tour became a beautiful journey into a rural culture and way of life that feels so distant from our own today.
Through Dedi’s stories and the people we met, we truly understood the value behind something as simple as rice. Seeing how it is grown, harvested, and still processed by hand completely changed our perspective.
And then came the simple Balinese meal at the end of the experience. It was absolutely wonderful. At one point, after slowly tasting the rice, I said: “I just realized that maybe I’ve never really eaten rice before in my life.”
The flavour was so authentic, so genuine and so deeply connected to everything we had experienced that day.
Thank you, Dedi, for your passion, kindness and for sharing your home and your culture with us. You made this day truly unforgettable.
翻译:我们在马永村的经历真是令人难忘,而Dedi的存在让这一切更加完美。
Dedi就在那里出生长大,从他讲述的每一个故事、给出的每一段解释中都能真切感受到这一点。他的热情、与这片土地的深厚联系,尤其是他对田间劳作者的尊重与关爱,在整个行程中都自然流露出来。
他用清晰易懂的英语解释了一切。这让我们这些不太精通当地语言的人也能轻松理解。他根据我们的接受能力来调整讲解节奏,始终全神贯注,而且具备极佳的倾听与理解能力,能精准把握我们的需求。原本可能只是一场普通的徒步游览,却变成了一次深入了解乡村文化与生活方式的美妙旅程——这种生活方式在如今看来与我们自己的生活相去甚远。
通过Dedi的讲述以及我们遇到的当地人,我们真正体会到了像稻米这样看似普通的事物背后的价值。亲眼看到它是如何种植、收获的……完全靠手工制作的这一过程彻底改变了我们的视角。
体验的最后是一顿简单的巴厘岛式餐点。简直棒极了。有一刻,当我细细品味着米饭时,我说道:“我突然意识到,也许这辈子我都从未真正吃过米饭。”
那味道是如此纯正、如此真实,与我们当天所经历的一切都紧密相连。
感谢Dedi,感谢你的热情与善良,感谢你与我们分享你的家与文化。你让这一天真正成为了难忘的一天。
