You will be amazed by the love that the Balinese will shower your child with. It is a different world. Children are close to god in their eyes. Everybody will look out for and care for you all.
Dunno how else to say it really. We have been 6 times from the UK and love it. The difference from the US paranoia (no offence meant) will open your eyes to a proud but fantastically friendly people.
Just remember it is a "ahem" developing country. Another one we have systematically screwed over the years.
Not everybody loves it but if you have scratched around here a bit I am sure you will realise that beneath the surface they have spirituality that I admire.
Go, have fun. You will make friends. Hey even in the UK we don't hate US citizens :)
All the best, give us a JBR.
