you are packing 4.5 kg of any illegal substance or strapping aforsaid
illegal substances to your body, as you may end up like the boys in vietnam and singapore ,oh, and i think i heard about a sheila who is innocent and has been set up, in bali somewhere.
go and have a great time ,as we do time after time.
In all honesty i, and a lot of others on this forum have travelled to bali for the last 25 years or so with no hassles.
the press has a lot to answer for scaring and causing a lot of the problems that appear to exist between indos and other countries.
if you spoke to a balinese on your visit they would be as blissfully distanced from all of these supposed feelings as i am,as they rely on tourism to feed their families and also don't think as sinister as some.
face reality and go and enjoy yourself and make some friends of a different nationality and mentality as the d..kheads that attempt to fill your brain with bigoted thoughts.
