i run a business in poppies 2, it was set up 3 months before the october 1st suicide bombings, at that time,early august, my balinese friends were at the happiest i had seen them since the first bombing. everything was moving along nicely, shops,restaurants,hotels and sun lounges were all full.then saturday,1st october,it all turns to s..t! planes leaving with more passengers than arrivals, hotels down 70 to 80%! when i went back in october, air paradise, adl to dps, i was the only person in business class, and only 50 people in the back. and the drive from the airport to the DEWI SRI,like a ghost town! i thought to myself, oh no not again.... everybody in bali has been affected, not just the punters that did their dough with AP.....and there is only one group to blame.... the suicide bombers.... and to those who lost there lives for no reason, and the families suffering.. my heart goes out to you all. RIP. OM CANTI CANTI CANTI OM.
