My family usually go in Jan school holiday, all of us have been offered drugs, the kids alcohol etc..but I thought it was pretty safe if you kept your nose clean so to speak.
Not so, my son went for schoolies -with parent supervision and he came back saying that the drug offers were more than he had ever seen, they were pretty aggressive offering the stuff. He was pretty upset about the whole trip vibe.
Bali has many faces and this forum has been so helpful to the newbies over the years, but face facts, we all know there are dodgy money changers, drug dealers or the like. Why can't we warn our fellow travelers of the pitfalls without flaming anyone who isn't full of glowing praise.
