In Reply to: should I go? posted by patsy on Saturday, 28. August 1999 at 02:32 Bali Time:
Hi Patsy,
To reiterate the replies of the others, go for it. I started going to Bali and the rest of Indonesia in the late 70's and still love the place. Returning for about the 20th time in September for about 5 weeks. E-mail me and I will reply with a beginners guide, that I have been putting together for the last few years, may help you.
Don't worry about the negative comments of a few. I feel that these people would be unhappy anywhere that is not just like home.
As far as hotels, I would try somewhere like the Bali Holiday Resort at Seminyak which is away from the madding crowds but still accessible to the bright lights if you wish. Alternatively go to Ubud in the mountains for a quiet time in the art, music and crafts centre of Bali.
Enjoy
Mitch
