Heaps of security and obviously if you feel that way just avoid the places especially at night, crowded restaurants where westerners frequent, but when you are there you will see what I mean. Even when you go into Matahari's ( Dept Store ) you will be searched and although sometimes you think with an armful of shopping etc., thats its a real hassell really it is comforting.The hotels are generally on the ball and really sus out who comes in and out. Look the night we came back a few weeks ago, we dropped my sister in law home from the airport and had to call the police cos the neighbours across from her were punching each other up, I said to my family I didn't need to go out of Australia to see violence its right here !! Go have a great time your family will get used to the idea when they realise that you are not going to change your mind...nessie
