In Reply to: Is Bali as terrifying as Filo suggests? posted by scaredycat on Friday, 22. June 2007 at 21:03 Bali Time:
Filo's guide is an excellent one, heaps of great info and as for scams etc it is much better to be informed of the things that can happen (not will happen), as you would to any international destination that you are unfamiliar with.
If it was really that bad, do you think that every single member of this forum plus thousands of others would return time and again, and be so desperate to get back asap? I think not!
As for donations and gifts its up to the individual, great if you want to, but if not, you are helping by simply going and holidaying in bali.
Go, enjoy your holiday as we all do and do a Jbr on your return and let others new to the forum hear your opinions.
Cheers Nikki.
