After finishing work in the early hours of this morning I logged on to BTF. Why did I even bother? If I was a new visitor to BTF looking into my first Bali holiday I would possibly rethink my plans and head somewhere else...
Dengue fever, hotels riddled with bedbugs, mysterious illnesses at others, shirtless Aussies terrorising locals on their scooters while the Japenese & Russians hog lounges and take up all the seats at KuDeTa...Traffic jams, lengthy delays at immigration, rampant corruption, AIDS infecting tattoists, price increases.... And this was only in the first 20 or so posts!!
Sheesh, it's all too negative for me. I logged off last nite and thought that I wont visit BTF for a while as it doesn't leave me feeling good like it used to. I love reading peoples JBR's and funny anecdotes, I don't mind restaurant and hotel reviews (but personally wouldn't post any reviews on here in fear of being flamed or ridiculed)they just seem to be buried deep within all the negativity.
The Bali Travel Forum members collectively have a dearth of information and can be extremely helpful but unfortunately, for the moment, I have had enough of the negativity and nastiness.
