Wow i can understand why annie got a bit taken back by your JBR!! I read it and felt the same way!!
You dont have to like Kuta thats your choice, but as for calling all the people who are flashing a bit of flesh ho's, how dare you!! get over your self!!! It is Bali and it is bloody Hot and Humid!! If the Bali people did not want people to wear those kinds of clothes then they would not sell them!!!!
As for your comments about the Hawkers, It is how they feed them selves!! and as for the water falls and hot springs they were just beautiful!! the hawkers here have an even more desperate situation then the ones in Kuta as the tourists are few out there!!
Plug in your Ipod??? What the heck are you doing with ipods in Bali anyway, just stay home next time and you wont have to worry about the nasty hawkers bothering you, or the filthy streets of Kuta, for someone who keeps saying "I fit in with the Bali people cause i look like one" you seem to have no clue about what the people in Bali are going thru or anything of the kind to make comments and yell at hawkers like you did!! Skin colour has nothing to do with understanding the peoples plights!!!
Dont waist your tears as it realy sounds like you did not truly experiance or respect the real Bali anyway!!! If you did you would realise that they are all beautiful and all deserve your respect no matter how pushy, dirty or what area they are from!!
