Why the emphasis on eating?

Posted by Back Again on Monday, 22. March 2010 at 10:29 Bali Time:

Ok, so we all like to find a new restaurant to enjoy while travelling, but it continues to make me smile the number of times that Food and eating forms the major part of a JBR.

Of course I like good food as much as anyone, but eating is such a low priority for me when travelling and sometimes I think people go to Bali just for the food. There are some excellent restaurants in Bali, eg Indian Restaurants, and the breakfasts at some resorts are stunning, and of course, Jimbaran Bay for atmosphere but other than that, I just dont get all that hooked into it. Much prefer seeing and doing things and meeting people. Anyone else or am I just weird!
(Oh yeah, tailors, I do like having things made in Bali but that is because you cant do that in Australia as cheaply and efficiently)
