People are not criticising the fact that Tuberose is helping the Balinese - that is admirable. The reason I found the JBR a bit tasteless was due to the me me me factor & the fact that she was coming home to no holiday pay.
Many of us choose to sponsor & help but do not feel the need to broadcast it to others in such a graffic (ie listing every item purchased/donated and price).
Nothing wrong with helping out others but have a little dignity and keep it to yourself.
And Fliss, you shouldn't be put off posting a JBR based on this thread, its always interesting to read of others experiences in Bali.
Thats my opinion anyway.
