i have only been to bali twice but i have definitely been ripped off more in my own beautiful country more times than i care to remember, sometimes even by so called friends. so while there is people being ripped off in bali there will also be plenty off people being ripped off here. i know some wonderful greek people here who pooled the family money together to buy a shop in sydney so their kids, grandkids etc would have something that was theirs but a good old honest aussie truck driver fleeced them blind mainly because they were too honest and trusting. the funny thing is nobody seems to whinge to openly when it happens in our own country but when it happens somewhere like bali oh no dont go there they will rip you off. the motto is you can be ripped off anywhere if your gullible. appreciate places like bali for what they are and you will have a good holiday.
