i got back on the 5th dec 2005. there was extra police all over bali and armed guard at the new discovery shopping centre . 2 of the 13 days i spent there , the police went up and down kuta beach in the helicopter , i got bag searched and a quick going over with the metal detectors in alot of places i went . it was a huge hassel but it was for our own safety. the streets are so quiet but there as still tourists , more from other countries than australians . i felt quiet safe and didnt really think about it , untill nite time came were we stayed in the hotel a bit , though we had a few trips out at nite and once we were out it went to the back of my mind ......all in all we had a great time , proberly safer than sydney right now . im toying with the idea going back after the school holidays
