Sorry to disappoint you (I must say I am delighted to read "no more to add now or in future) but I have to bite my tongue and MUST reply once again.
You are saying: I have recently resigned my position as Chairman of North Sulawesi Tourism Organization. If you are or were a chairman I believe that you must have some brain and intelligence.
Why you can't understand the simple statement I've made?
Many people are asking ONLY about the price of a single bottle. They don't give a s**t about anything else, the Tourism Organization, livelihood of EVERY Balinese Hotel/Restaurant which stands to lose if tourists stay-away and on and on.
Do you think this is so important to make plan to go on holiday? Drinking problem, maybe
I never click on to read the content but I can see the post. This was an observation a nothing else
You are saying: It is NOT just the cost of a bottle of "whiskey or gin" but the livelihood of not just Balinese (This again its not the subject); the problem is The ONE bottle.
I DO AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT ALL OTHER STATEMENT YOU HAVE MADE ABOUT BALI AND TOURISM.

I think this is going to be the first of many 'blurt' posts from this character...hope I'm wrong.
What can I say, quite a lot, but better not to, only you are wrong.
