Your right if it was happening here we couldn't do anything but I wouldn't expect any tourists to travel here either and risk their lives.
No one is saying they want to more FROM Bali they are deciding whether to have a HOLIDAY there or not. My holiday I want to be relaxing and not stressing about whether I will be the next victim. I can't do that with this going on and I am not prepared to spend money to travel over there just to sit inside my hotel room still wondering what if!
You don't know how hard a decision this is for myself and my family to make and it still isn't made yet. I would rather die from a natural disaster than something someone has planned to make a point my family at home don't need it. I am someones Grandaughter, child, mother, sister and friend I would affect too many people and for what to die and have everyone break down and feel lost and for the Balinese to not even know my name. Sorry but I would die for MY country not someone elses.
It doesn't mean I don't like the balinese I love them and their country but I love my family, friends and my OWN country more!
