Goodness! Who rattled your cage? For what it's worth I agree with your sentiments ALMOST completely. But not while my bum points to the ground will I understand the rationale behind going all the way to Bali to have a meat pie or a pizza. I can do that the rest of the year. When Bali is nose-deep in the most tantalising local food and taste sensations, that's what I'm there for. Warungs or 5 star hotel nosheries - when in Bali, eat as the Balinese eat!
I've stayed in the Royal Hawaiian in HNL and am booked at the Champlung Sari in Ubud. Whatever! Choice of accommodation does not define the person.
Like Hillary, I don't understand what turns someone who, back home you could take to meet Mother, into a noisy, drunken, vulgar animal as soon as they land in a freewheeling holiday environment. But having said that, Aussies do not hold a mortgage on rude behaviour abroad. Trust me on this!!!
