people can say what ever they want about the situation at the moment and no one will every really know, not unless you ask one of the bombers why are you doing this?? i have come to the terms that Balinese just dont like the western life that we have, they hate our ways our government and everything we do. but in actual fact they need us, look at how many millions of people travel to their country each year, buy their goods, give them money help them through tough times they need us can you imagine if we stopped going there how much worse the situation could get. i dont think that they are hurting us directly, and like someone said it is a war and it has been going on for a very long time. god knows how and what they are thinking. but i am going to say one thing, balinese people are very beautiful people but there is something missing in there lives that we will never understand, we must fight for our country and theres. i am travelling over there in 10 weeks and the 'situation' that is happening is in no way going to stop me from travelling to that beautiful Island, look guys life is a risk you get up every morning get in your car and drive to work anything could happen, as i say live life on the edge if you sit around and wonder why you didnt go and do it than you must lead a very boring life sorry to say. i am going to Bali and am going to have the time of my life, not sit at home kicking my self for not going.
