It appears that we "Aussies" have laid some unofficial claim on the Bali Travel Forum. I am one of those who is guilty of subconsciously claiming this forum as an Aussie place to meet and chat and swap stories and hints and tips on Bali.
This is an international site, and people from all nationallities have the right to post on this site. We need to remember that each different nationality has a different way of making their opinion and may at times seem over critical, insensitive, belittling and even agressive.
Thank you to Carlos and everyone for reminding me that this is not just an "Aussie" forum, but one for anybody in the world.
I think perhaps we "Aussies", while having valid points to all opinions posted on the forum, need to remember that our way, and our opinion is not always the way and opinion of the rest of the world.
In my amily version of "Aussie" spririt (mine and not anybody else's) let's all have a drink, shake hands, throw a snag on the bbq and relax.
