Well it all statred with George Negus back in the early eighties tipping a bucket on Bali. Everytime you go to Bali someone (Usually someone who knew someone,..... who knew someone,....... that had heard it had happened to) has a story to tell you; from kidneys being removed from children, children being stolen and sold to the slave market, and now towels up against the doors to stop the drugs being put there by the police.
Why don't they just arrest this person in the middle of Jalan legian in front of a squillion witnessess and then remove from their pockets, during the search, the planted contraband. More plausible than the former and just as ridiculous!
Soozee every time I go to Bali I hear around the pool at least once that someone has drowned at the beach (and that does happen), fallen out of a helicopter, fell to their death when the bungy elastic busted, fell off the speed slide at waterbom, accidentally stabbed at a Kekack dance, or burn't to death watching a cremation.
In essence the "Bali tourist gullible grapevine" is more ferocious than the Ash Wednesday Bush fires.
If that ever did happen then surely the said corrupt police just didn't pick any hotel with any room with a tourist and then sneak up and slide the drugs under the door.
Soozee if you can produce a witness I will give you next staurdays tattslotto numbers.
Forget the myths and stories and go and have a great time. The only trouble with the police you will have will be self induced.
Have a great holiday.! enjoy and relax
