I have friends in Bali at the moment and I've spoken to them , they were all at Gracie kelly's (Dynasty) last night watching the footy and having fun. They are all staying to finish there holiday.
Whilst they can't believe what has happened and they have deep sorrow for the people that were hurt,and killed.
They know that by leaving the balinese this will be the end for them, we brought a western lifestyle to the Balinese people we gave them a better life with the tourist dollar.
We need to support them could you imagine having your lifestyle pulled from under you ? Most of us could not cope.
We as tourists created this problem for them, we can't abandon them.
