"I do not believe for a minute that Bali is the kind of paradise that you Aussies are trying to make it out to be."
I have been on this forum for quite a few years & don't really see Aussies trying to do as you describe.
I see them (and others) describing it as they find it.
Some like it, some don't, some think it's paradise to them, others don't.
And yes some are Bali Junkies but that does not mean they don't have the ability to look at Bali objectively.
Give them some credit...just because they are not dwelling on the negative aspects of Bali doesn't mean they don't exist.
No-one is trying to make it out to be the 'be all & end all' of travel destinations.
And why always the mention of Aussies?
There are many nationalities on this forum (and yes a lot of Australians)who take a liking to Bali....and many who don't.
Naturally the ones who do like it will stick around here on this forum & those that don't will move on.
