thankgoodness again someone with a bright spark in their head, so true what youve stated there has been many debates over past years for those who state - ITS SAFE or ITS FATE get real!You dont go out and stand before a bus and see if its hits you or go to bagdad and wait and see if your times up do you?You do everything you can to stay safe if that means not being in a crowded place(especially where aussies conregate or not check out best exit routes when entering a building etc.)there are thousands little madman plotting in indonesia and other countries beware be careful and again listen to the locals. There are things about bali that havent been placed in the media that do go on dont dig your head in the sand like some be prepared as best you can for the safety of your family dont be scared off but be aware that bali HAS lost its innocence it may recover completely it may not but awareness will hopefully keep you safe. Ive said before those people who lost their lives in the last bali bombing felt safe too otherwise they wouldnt have gone with their familys?Bali is a magical place we all love but we need to see two sides to it - two trips this year and two more coming up for me its a really personal decision for everyone to make!
