to me Bali was still the best place I have been to. I do know it is a hard life for the people of Bali, but for a visitor like me it was heaven - OK, so I had to say "No Thanks" every 5 min, but back home I can walk into a shop and be ignored for 10 min - what is worse ??
I have lived in Europe & Australia, and I know I'm lucky having such a wonderful lifestyle which gives me the opportunity to travel and see other places, but I have never meet any group of people more lovely than the people of Bali (& I include the hawkers) these people have nothing (materially) compared to me & the people I live amongst, but they still have a joy in their hearts which I will never forget.
