your:"I suspect that many of the Aussies who travel to Bali have never been what you might call seasoned world travellers, or have any interest in becoming such."
Well said and 100% correct...
Various countries experience the same thing,.. the UK Have those that go to various places in spain,... the US have those that go to Mexico,....in many cases they're an embarrassment....
In my experience in Bali many Australians leave what brains they have in the departure lounge in Australia and pick them up when they return...(sometimes)
But we're not alone many from the UK and US do the same thing...they go to places where being stupid doesn't stand out as it would in other countries..wink wink
