In Reply to: Do you think it's safe for your family ? posted by The Mariner on Wednesday, 27. June 2007 at 11:15 Bali Time:
Lots of past discussion on this.. my thoughts
1. No I do not believe Bali is safe. Same as most other destinations. When I am there though I "feel" safe.
2. Hard one. I took my son there last year ( his first Time ) for his 18th. Some rumblings from other family members ( who have never been to Bali) I think its a parental inherit concern to ensure the safety of your family. If something should happen you would be devistated and feel responsible. So a personal choice. Again a risk that I believe is no different to choosing a series of other holdiay destinations. Floods/ Tsunamis / Transport accidents / earthquakes / hurricanes alot of destinations are prone to these things.
3. When Im on the ground in Bali I dont even seem to think about "terrorists". It honestly "feels" safe like home to me and until I feel otherwise I will continue to travel to bali.
