The more I see of Bali the less I like the island. You Audis can have your Nothernmost Territory, lock stock and barrel. I have never seen an arrivals area looking like in the contributed picture or in real life anywhere after 50 years of travelling the globe, not even at Heathrow or Frankfurt at peak travel times.
Surely the Balinese are doing their utmost at destroying the brand Bali as a top class, welcoming destination. It is very sad that visitors have to rely on corruption to get a smooth arrival and departure processing.
If there is a similar mess at the airports in Sydney, Perth, Brisbane or Adelaide it is very sad for you Audis. Do not worry, I shall not visit. Been there, done that.
Now I shall send myself to bed without dinner before you lovely forumites suggest it.
