And people still want to holiday there.. why?

[Drop Bear]

Because it's a beautiful place full of beautiful people. The Balinese people don't have much in the way of what our society regards as wealth, but THE VAST MAJORITY put a smile on their face and treat you with respect.
Shame the only news that's ever reported is bad and people rely on that to make their decisions. Pull your head out of the sand and realise there's much more to life than what's reported in the mainstream media.
I'd go back there again in a heartbeat.

well said drop bear !!
and rememeber there are two sides to every story. (and i would like to hear the bouncers side)

Bali is great, just stay away from drugs and the KUTA area in general!

[Wedgie]

Afghanistan is great too if you stay away from the drugs and the dodgy areas!

[Johno6]

The bouncers side of the story is the laidleys were fighting on the dance floor so the bouncers jumped in to help/break it up and then it escelated.

I'm with you Bartman. Never been there, have no desire too, why would anyone want to?

So you can do everything you do back in Australia, but not in Australia.

Err, right.

Yes but you can feel rich while you are doing it!

I am a bit this way too. Have heaps of mates who have been there and love it, but I have no desire to go there. I guess my idea of a holiday isnt lounging in a pool sucking back average beer. I can lounge around sucking down good beer right here, without needing flights and accomodation!

[Booney]

Yep. I'd rather see FNQ more, or Broome etc etc. But hey, each to their own.

I know the likes of Quichey, who have travelled extensively will probably see Bali as a small step in the travel game but for mine I have no desire to see any country even remotely third-world like as far as poverty and lifestyle of the locals go.

Has Dean Laidley got a gig for 2012?

What sort of opinion do Power supporters have of.his time spent with them?

Tough to say. We couldn't convince him to move here full-time for the money on offer, but, I think and have heard he was very much a professional and did his job very well.

Bali is an amazing place to go. I was there for the second bombings, and i would not hesitate to go back there. Love it

Odd. Most people go for the beaches and culture.
