in a 'mugging' incident in Poppies II the other night coming back fron the Sky Garden. A group of kids sort of herded us into two groups, splitting the men and the women, pressed the women up against the wall and started tugging on handbags and generally roughing them up. We eventually grabbed one of the kids who had his hand in a bag and was able to push them all away. They then ran off. Disappointingly, none of the local adults around at the time said or did anything to help us. Don't let your guard down, Bali at night is no safer than any other place in the world and you should apply all the protective behaviours that you would usually.
