Hi Guys,
Brendan has decided to stay. It was Indonesians/Balinese that attacked him and I think this is why he was so upset. But as I have told him there are good and bad people everywhere.
He just has to use common sense, not to go anywhere after dark by himself esp.if intoxicated.
Our friends have even offered to help out if needs money and they don't really have it to spare so Brendan told them he would be ok.
I will check out the western union website. Thanks once again for all the kind words of support.
Pina
