Having lunch when we saw the Jakata bombings on the tv. It was really strange being in Indonesia (albeit far away from Jakata) at this time. We have seen so much of Bali and jakata's troubles over the last 7 yrs but from a distance. After lunch we had planned to visit the memorial on the Sari club site, and visiting after hearing about what had happened in Jakata was particularly moving.
I felt quite safe but was happy to get back to Legian, probably because it was familiar. To think of the Balinese people having to go through the aftermath of 2002 & 2004 again is unthinkable! I would go back tomorrow if I could.............
