I’m a bule, anthropologist & former mahasiswi di IKIP, Kalemareng (Yogayakarta).

I don’t find the term ‘bule’ offensive – all people have words for Others (purposely capitalised) in their languages. I guess it’s the way the word is used and the context as to whether it’s offensive that counts.

When I lived in Java, people did think I was rich because I was Australian and going to university in a foreign country. The truth was, by Australian standards (this was in 1995), I was incredibly poor as most university students are! I could barely afford to eat and buying any kind of new clothes was out of the question. I think that is the only thing that annoyed me a little about Javanese (and Balinese): the assumption that because I was a Westerner, that I was rich, when I was a dirt-poor university student on an exchange programs that had been paid for by my home university.

So, if I had one message for Indonesians: don’t assume all Westerners are rich.

As for Starbucks, KFC MacDonalds… Aduh!! Yuk!! Starbuck’s coffee is too sweet – made for American tastes and full of fatty calories. As someone pointed out above, in Australia, Starbuck’s is hard to find because it went bankrupt. Besides, we have a very cosmopolitan culture and Australians prefer to sit in a real cafe, not a multinational chain.

One thing I do find appalling are those tourist resort ghettos -like the Canggu Club- that someone mentioned above. I cannot understand why Western tourists go to a foreign country and then seal themselves up in these sterile ghettos, away from … people!! Why go to a country if you’re scared of the locals and don’t want to talk/associate/learn about them? Especially in Indonesia where people are sooooo friendly and welcoming?

But maybe that’s why I’m an anthropologist… when I go to Indonesia/India/Nepal/New Zealand the best thing is the people!

personally, i love cultural differences and love all kinds of food. indonesian, chinese, western, junk food, semuanya enakkkk kok. i appreciate all of them, mcD dan nasi becak included.

emang di banyak culture”bule” dianggap race yang superior sih, rasanya karena generalisasi, karena kebanyakan expat = well off, jadi dianggap semuanya kaya, sukses etc.
generally, people generalize. ^_^
menurut aku normal kok…sampe nanti mereka ketemu bule miskin, bule bego, etc (well…bule jg manusia kan?)
