Just wondering if anyone thinks that there will be anti-Australian/Western sentiment in Bali due to the Drug smuggling, the packages sent to the Indonesian embassies, previous Bombing attacks etc to the point where it would be inadviseable to go? I've booked and paid for a 10-day trip in December with friends, but my Dad is pushing very hard for me not to go (He's offered to pay my cancellation losses) and I'm having a difficult time trying to decide whether or not to still go. I guess the main concern is that the whole 'unwilling drug courier'may be repeated - or any other unforseen issues occur and having to have them handled under Foreign law. I went over in April last year and had a good time. Doubts are high at the moment. I Don't think my Dad is even biting the whole 'thousands of people are still going' thing. Anyone else have thoughts on how safe/unsafe/risky/not risky it may be in Dec?
