purchase a ticket to come to Bali you have already thought about the fact that there are Earthquakes here, this time last year I remember waking up to feel the whole room swaying for a good 10 seconds after one. The Mangroves have been removed from the beaches so if an earthquake happens on another Island, there goes Kuta, think Phuket Tsunami. You want to check out the view at Kintamani, that volcano is active you know. Bali Belly can be fatal, just check out some of the sad posts on this forum. A person dies on a motorbike every day in Bali. Have you had a safety inspection done on your hotel or do you like the rest of us just ignore the fact that the only safety equipment for electricians in Bali is extra thick thongs. Only last month a German couple died in the bathroom of their very expensive villa near Ubud, gas leak. And I have lost count of how many tourists have drowned in the rip at Seminyak this past year. Not to mention how many end up in hospital after falling in those holes in the footpath, they are very deep. Don't forget the monkeys bite as well.
