In Reply to: Wrong Attitude to Bali posted by Aussie Sam on Friday, 23. July 2004 at 10:03 Bali Time:
Some of the attitudes I saw from tourists on our last visit made me ashamed to belong to the human race. My girls had to drag me away on several occasions.
So what if you have been offered a thousand pairs of sunglasses in the last 10 minutes, it is easier just to smile and say no thank you than it is to be nasty.
Restaurant rudeness is something I cannot tolerate. I actualy suggested to one guy that he would be doing everyone a favour if he choked on his meal, he didn't sadly, but at least he shut up (there goes my image as a nice guy)
The Balinese do not deserve to be treated in this way.
We are guests in their country and I feel it would pay to remember that from time to time.
Cheers

ps. I would have given him CPR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Perhaps???????
