In Reply to: Santica Beach Hotel vs. Padma... posted by Nick on Saturday, 10. October 1998 at 02:16 Bali Time:
I actually stayed at the Bali Padma, first time round to Bali and it was unveleivable, ( for a hotel) but I was an unexperienced tourist, as in the first breakfast we got ripped off, by paying $80 alotogehter, then we ventured to the restaurant next door and found that we could get it for about 2 bucks....that sucked.
It was interesting reading about the reception you recieved about having an Indonesian girlfriend. I have an Indonesian boyfriend and whenever we are in Bali, we get looked at, but mostly from other tourists which is extremelly annoying, still I take it like a drop of water on a ducks back and simply keep walking.
Nothing so trivial would discourage me. I just hope people weren't too mean to you. :-)
