of Japanese and feel sorry for them. They think that by travelling in numbers that they are safer than going it alone. That may be true in some cases, however, buses still have accidents, people are still open to being robbed, you may still get Bali belly etc, etc. But, they don't get to see and feel the true Bali, looking through a window of a bus and being herded on and off the bus at shops and attractions that they have no say in. It may suit some, but try and talk your parents into the sole traveller way. Otherwise, you'll miss out on a lot of experiences you won't get from being just a number in a group. IMO.
