just got back from month in bali.seems we all like to whinge about pool lounge hogs or how rude some other country tourists are.but over that month we noticed a lot of australians being so rude to the locals it sadden me to be one (australian).it seems when we get away from home it gives us the right to be rude and really stupid.like firing bb guns down busy roads with people every where,riding motor bikes and drinking with out regards to anyone that is walking along or the locals that live there.haggling over 5000 rup when all they are doing is trying to do is make a living. on a good note i would like to applaud all the tourists that go to bali and try to help out the locals in there own way, maybe to make the locals try to have a better life than what they have now.(eg not haggling to when there is no profit left), treating them as you would like to be treated yourself and let both them and you enjoy your bali holiday. if you would like to give me a spray over my comments you are more than welcome, i have broard shoulders but remember treat other people the same as you would like to be treated yourself, especially when in a foreign country.
cheers leigh
