I have just returned from Bali in May and felt as safe as a church mouse . If you take care and do the sensible thing you won't have dramas . Yes I know it is a shock to read and hear about the latest happening in Bali to the little 9 yr old girl . I read in the local paper last week about the kids in Bali who have been subjected to sexual abuse by westerners for years where is the outcry and condemnation of these animals who have been getting away with it for years and still do . According to the paper the local police are not equipped to handle such issues as they haven't received the training to do so . Yes I was shocked to hear that it was a local but wouldn't be at all suprised if there have been others that have happened but not been newsworthy at the time . Singkenken what you state re scams ect happens all over the world not just Bali , I've been going to bali for years and am glad to say never had any problems yep I've been ripped off for a dollar or two but that's Bali and I won't let this latest thing put me of going .
