when i heard about the bird flu deaths, i thought he we go people will be staying to me "still going to bali" and my answer will definitely be yes. i thought my best reply could be, well what are you doing about all the kids dying from the flu at the moment, are you going to keep the kids at home and not let them out the door, are you going to go to england instead and risk foot and mouth disease or terrorism. i believe every part of this world we now live in has some risk associated with traveling to it, be terrorism or disease. if you educate yourself on the risks you may encounter to where ever you are travelling then you should be safe as you can be. in regards to the chicken flu i did just that, and if you do not come in to contact with infected chicken feces you will have little chance of catching the bird flu. you can not catch bird flu through eating chicken(cooked). so in two weeks i will be off as planned.
