In Reply to: after 60 years... posted by cliff on Thursday, 3. February 2005 at 21:52 Bali Time:
The Hindus of Bali are a docile lot. I spoke to a few who were sure that Bali would be better off on their own. They felt that the Indonesians have been milking them over the years. If East Timor could get independence, why not Bali they felt. But, they had no idea what to do or how to agitate. I listened sympathetically but proffered no advice ;-)
Btw, Cliff, most of the guys I spoke to were pro-Yudhoyono. They felt Megawati had screwed up things for business. And, I was talking not to big businessmen but cab drivers, tour guides and the like.
