Yes the Bali bombings saw I think over 80 Australians killed. A simple side road bar bombed with hundreds of people injured as well.
I think there are numerous better destinations for surfing and holidaying.
The great Australian "schoolies week" celebration where thousand of under age kids celebrate and drink alcohol at the end of their high school years sees our kids now heading to Bali as an alternative now.
No checks on underage drinking. Alcohol that has been mixed with everything from chemicals to racing fuel - has nothing on moonshine - is as reported killing our kids.
The Police and authorities in Bali have no interest checking the age or welfare of our kids.
I feel as parents we should be encouraging our kids to stay out of Bali. Guess it is ok to head there as a family supervising kids but to let our 17 and 18 year olds head to Bali - what are we thinking -
Even then it begs the question why go there as a family...
Surely cheap beer and T shirts is not a good enough reason - the risks are then very high that you could come unstuck with drugs being planted, bags stolen, pick pocketed, assaults and rape etc.
Mmmm I am not seeing enough reasons to convince me...
