i just feel so sad about this. As most Aussies and Indonesians would. I am so fortunate that we go to Bali 2 or 3 times a year.Although after the bomb we stopped going for 3 years. Finally we did go back and all we heard was "so very sorry Aussies are our friends" I would reply with so sorry for you also you lost so many more people than us. So on our first visit back after the bombing we went to the "Sari Club Site" and took 2 dozen long stemmed roses and laid them at the site. I looked at the photos(they were on the wall) of the young kids that were there on that unfortunate night and balled my eyes out. It could have been any of my 3 boys. However after getting out after a short prayer and back into the taxi we circled the block and our beautiful red roses were no where in sight. The taxi driver saw that I was so upset and his reply was "so very sorry but the beggars take them and re sell them to tourist" So where is the answer. !!!!! I for one don't know????
