In Reply to: Still going...another thought posted by bigpete on Sunday, 2. October 2005 at 12:03 Bali Time:
It's up to you to come to the decision to go or not, I was booked to go one week after the bombing, I agonised for a week, glued to the TV watching the horror before me, on the Friday I went to the travel agent & cancelled my ticket. I couldn't sleep that night, my daughters pleaded with me not to go. On Saturday morning I went back to the agent & got my tickets back & went. I have never regretted it, I was apprehensive I didn't travel around like I wanted to. It took me a week to go down to the bombing site, I cried when I read the messages, around me were Balinese crying also, saying to me "we are sorry". They who did nothing are sorry, but I never heard a Muslims say they are sorry. I'd pray for you except I'm not religious, instead I'm sending my best wishes in whatever you decide.
