In Reply to: Who goes to Bali Just because posted by trayden on Thursday, 20. May 2010 at 20:45 Bali Time:
over 20 odd years.
Reasons for going change as time goes by.
First time out of neccessity, as a transit to UK with Garuda.
As the trips go by, interest and attachments grow.
More meaningful friendships are formed with local people.
Many books are purchased....subject Bali and/or Indonesia (Latest Ketut Tantri)
Follow Indonesian politics more closely and read up on presidents past.
Become involved in business and property with a view to the future and retirement.
So as the number of trips and duration thereof increases, the bonds are strengthened, and priorities are shifted.
Bali now provides a base for further exploration of the archipeligo, and also a haven for close friends and family to enjoy what we have worked for.
Each to their own Trayden and it takes all sorts to make up the broad profile of visitors to Bali.
One thing is for sure....as long as the numbers keep turning up, whether in Bintang tee shirts or otherwise, the local people will keep smiling.
