Bali in the news again

Posted by loves_bali on Wednesday, 28. December 2005 at 09:31 Bali Time:

I was just reading the paper when I came across an article about the car park at the Paddy's bar.
I was disgusted in it as well when I went there and saw the car park but it amazes me how long its taken the media to jump on this story.
I could be wrong in saying this and I might be heavily critisised but it makes me wonder if they just like to keep Bali in the headlines considering that the paddy's bar site has been a car park for over a year now.
