I am informing all forumites about Pantai Seafood Restaurant which is located on the beach next door to Ma Jolly's. My husband and I were enjoying a quiet meal together at Ma Jolly's 1 week ago we were seated at table closest to beach and I was facing directly looking at Pantai Seafood Restaurant. We heard a deafening scream from a kid it was an aussie boy aged about 8 - 10 years old he was standing next to pole with his arms around it (The pole had a light sign at the top of it which promoted the restaurant) he was screaming, stuck to the pole and shaking all over from the electricity running all through his body, this shut down the power in the entire restaurant, it was a very bad electric shock as lasted about a minute or so until he had shorted out the power. When power was turned back on he was rushed off by his poor worried family. Im sure he would have suffered some very nasty burns. All they did at restaurant was go up to the pole and inspect it with a torch, then it was back to normal business for them... I'm sure this happens all the time to people in Bali and it amazes me how people can turn a blind eye to anything that goes wrong there in Bali
