The way some people hang off every word said by others without going out of their way to make "INFORMED" decisions for themselves. If its not bloody bed bugs or monkey bites then its some other crap that they want to get hung up on! About 4 years ago(age 29 yrs) whilst in Paradise I got a touch of what I thought was a cold, then I started limping on one foot (felt like I had broken it) and on my return flight home I couldnt stop vomiting. Finally took myself off to doc about 3 weeks later. By then I was limping on both feet and my wrists were sore. Turns out I had contracted a virus that has now left me with Polymigratory Arthritis (meaning I usually have 5 different joints that ache at once)And this I will have for life. Bummer for me I think! But hell I could not think of a better place to relieve my aches and pains..... Bintang, if drunk in the right amounts can numb alot of things, The warmth of Bali is fab compared to cold NZ winters and dont even get me started on the daily massages to help with the pains ands strains, that I can only afford while holidaying there! What Im trying to say is that S*#T happens EVERWHERE people. Infact did you know that there is more than 140 different kinds of Arthritis, one of them you can contract only thru sex! however the female is the one at risk and the bloke is the carrier....typical! Moral of my "useless rant" keep going to Bali and stop having sex! lol
