Some of my dearest friends in Bali work or worked at different locations in Bali "On Security" including "Old and New Paddys". They saw all sorts of terrible things the first time round and never thought it would happen again to their loved ones.Some of us may take it for granted that they still smile no matter what for the tourists but deep down they have their feelings and apprehensions the same as all of us but they have told me that if they dont do their job even for a few tourists then Bali will never be busy again. Many Balinese have taken a huge cut in Wages just to keep employment and some God love them have lost their income completely. I CAN NOT WAIT TO GET THERE NEXT WEEK AND SPOIL THEM ROTTEN!!!
