Got back last week. I used to be patriotic but now I can see how good life is and every minute here is a countdown till I next go to Bali. You can do whatever you want there and that is the hard bit to explain to others. We were smoking cigars and drinking Heineken in the local 7-11 with the guy opening our drinks for us and lighting our cigars. That sort of thing just doesn't happen here and I don't think people appreciate how uptight our whole country has become until you go to a place where they encourage you to actually enjoy yourself and leave the pathetic oh&s political correctness behind. I will devote my life to my retirement in Bali and inbetween an annual pilgrimage to make sure it hasn't changed.
