In Reply to: Locals thoughts on Australian tourists posted by CharlieBaliBear on Saturday, 7. August 2010 at 12:01 Bali Time:
Bali is actively promoted as the party island. Given that so many young people can now afford to go to Bali I think it is about time the budget airlines included info with any booking giving advice & info on acceptable behaviour & attire in Bali. The kids think anything goes & unless they are informed otherwise then that's how they will behave. Can't blame them.
Must say I don't object to seeing a gorgeous guy in his boardies with a board under his arm heading down Poppies 1 to the beach. Yes, of course he should wear a shirt elsewhere.
My pet hate is older men wearing singlets & short shorts to restaurants at night. Erky perky.
The worst by far yobbos I have come across were European - frighteningly vile.
Now that Aussies are flooding back after the bombings the Balinese are critical. Hey, it's a tourist resort & it's all about money. And they are raking it in.
