Hubby and I were in Bali last month with our son. We had actually commented how this time around we were not continually being asked if we would like to buy drugs. Instead my son and his mates were being asked if they wanted 'girls'.
Our son was always with us except for one afternoon he decided to walk alone from Legian to Kuta to do some last minute shopping. It was about 4pm on Legian Street when a guy come up to him took the cap off my son's head and without saying a word placed what he thought looked like a bag of marijuana on his head and then put the cap back on his head to cover it.
Whether or not this stuff was the real deal who knows but I had a very frightened 16 year old who threw it on the ground and ran for his life.
That was the end of his solo shopping excursions.
