People think I'm crazy. They go to Italy, Spain etc & I'm sure they'd be a good holiday, but I just have no interest in anywhere else but Bali.
I tried for a work transfer to Darwin last month, & all I could think about was the cheap quick flight to Bali on weekends off.
Some people bag the place, & ask 1 question to which I know the answer "Whered you stay", "Kuta", "Where else did you go", "Nowhere". Theres the answer!
And I also agree it can be a bit smelly in places. You can be taking a beautiful picture, turn around & take the next photo of a rubbish dump, but I choose to see the beauty & accept the was they dispose of rubbish as they're own. But that said, with the US$25 entry fee, a bit of a clean up of Kuta wouldnt hurt.
I depart on the 28th & cant wait. Going solo this time & dont mind it at all. Get lots of freedom to meet new people & do what I want when I want. I cant stop thinking about it.
