    And the fact that the rubbish gets dumped in the ocean in the first place.

    I totally agree, but I have heard it many times in Australia, and if the Americans on TD are a cross section of society there, then for sure it will be used over there as an insult too.

    ^

    Willy my friend, you do seem to have a perchance for stating the bleeding obvious.

    Now you are slating the Americans for being Racist ??? Whatever.

    Anyway, regards people throwing shite into the oceans and it being washed up on shore in the Monsoon Season.

    I could take you to places in Thailand that would make your head spin considering the amount of crap that gets washed up in the Monsoon.

    Kuta beach in December, January and Febuary is a friggin rubbish tip and the flotsam is frightenning.

    On the other hand Sanur on the other side is spotless as its off shore.

    Way it is regards the Season Innit.

    Jesus Willy, you know this stuff already EH.

    I went to Jr. High, High School, and university in America, then farted around for a few years. I never heard, Jap, or Chink, I did hear Gook from GI's that had come back from Viet Nam. I also had quite a few friends that were American to me. When I think about it they were Chinese and Japanese , adopted Korean kids as well. I think we grew up quite different Willy.

    Of course it does not have to be this way Willy.

    When you actually solve the worlds problem of underpaid fisherman and tourists who don't give a toss you may well have the answer.

    In the real world Monsoon season will always bring a world of problems for the beaches world over.

    Besides that lot, Kuta Beach between April and November is Brilliant.

    Ive been to many fantastic beaches, when the season is on Kuta is hard to beat.

    Throw in the great surf and its blinding. The Eye candy is world class as well so its all good innit. .

    Add the brilliant Balinese people and one cant go wrong.

    The people that say Bali is shit are usually the tossers that don't get out of Kuta and I know you will agree with me on that point.

    ^Right. Back to the Balls, er, Bali pics.

    Here's another beach pic. You can see the rubbish on the beach, and the tourists on the far right. Sorry for the bad photoshop job. I don't feel like exposing my curves at the beach.


    As what Terry said - I saw Kuta beach at an unfortunate time, when the waves bring in the trash. Quite disappointing, as I was expecting some nice sun & sand. I have this memory of swimming with the plastic trash, and a very dirty beach. But I know that there are nicer beaches in Bali, I just didn't get to see them. The temples, the atmosphere, the people - all were great. I'd like to return someday and see more of the island...

    Anyhoo, the next few photos are from my friend's camera. I was a bit camera-weary already, and she took more pics of the beach than I did. There were some peeps flying kites....


    More beachbums, and some eyecandy for the guys

    More random pics from friend's cam.

    Bintang Supermart, where I bought my beer and some foodstuff as souvenirs for family.


    The Bali bomb memorial. There's a little fountain on the premises.


    I was surprised that the number of Australians surpassed the # of Indonesians who died during the bombing.
    Aussies = 88, Indonesians = 38, British = 23. RIP...

    @pasko - Thanks for the bump! Yeah, it was a bit sobering to visit the memorial. A friend said that a team of Aussie football players were there during the blast. One of them (forgot the name) recovered and went back to playing, but had to retire because of the damage from his injuries. Maybe one of the Aussies here would know his name...

    You look like the semi-transparent 'Predator' alien Katie... scary!



    Bali is great. Look forward to going back some day.

    @Looper - yeah, I can be dark & curvy, or transparent & mysterious.

    I'd like to go back to Bali when it's not monsoon season & the beach isn't full of trash... I didn't know about the rubbish, so next time, I'll plan a visit accordingly. Cheers!
