lets face it, it takes an enormous amount of guts / courage / stupidity / pig headedness - call it what you will - to go to a place where we have been a main target of terrorists who hate us! No wonder many people a just choosing to spend their hard earned money elsewhere.
I will always go back but am not sure that I will take my sons who surf and therefore take big board bags or that I would feel OK about them doing a schoolies trip to Bali.
I do feel for the Balinese but am amazed that many of them just don't get why it is that the number of visiting Australians is lower than it used to be.
