There are flippant comments on this thread which you have discussed beautifully. The 'when your time is up' comments always make me shudder, they are lacking in emotion.
Life is very precious, if people are afraid, they are afraid for their own personal very good reasons.
Not once did you suggest not going to Bali, you discussed safety.
Safety is something we can't control in a volatile political situation. Those poor dead people all felt very safe and happy a millisecond before the bombings.
I remeber just prior to the bombings an avid BTF poster and resident of Bali was dismissing any unrest in Bali, they were doubly devastated and horrified by the first bomb and apologised profusely even linking their original post.
Travel anywhere is personal choice for personal reasons and should not be ridiculed by flippant comments.
Thanks for your balanced and well thought out responses.
