Travelling to Bali? (1 Viewer)

[charlesdinio]

Hey guys,

was booked to go to Bali after schoolies.. the 5th I was leaving..

I've been a heap of times, used to go twice a year, but this time around I'm a tad worried due to the terrorism threats etc.

Do you think its safe enough to go? Keeping in mind they are going to kill a few of the bombers next week..

It's fine. Places like Bali look after their tourists, considering they're the main source of income. My parents went recently, and it was fine.

Terrorist bombings? By their very nature, they're an aberration. Go and have a good time.

Yeah I think it still would be safe to go over, although when we last went over we left 3 days before the bombings at the sari and paddy's club, and my sister went to them...

Yeah its all good if they went recently, but I mean, shit is going to hit the roof when the terrorists get executed, plus, many Aussies will be there during that time, perfect for them.

I suppose ill wait it out and see what DFAT and Smart Traveller have to say

Im going over aswell at the start of december. I think it should be alright. At the moment im going to go but if the travel warning reach leval five i will reconsider.

We might all "think" it will be alright, but these terriosts are capable of the unthinkable. The more people that are there, the better opportunities for them. After this execution, their is going to be huge retailiation by more Indonesian bombers, and they will target the peak season, which is not far away guys...

I would reconsider plans and be very careful......

Smart Traveler is useless. The information it gives is deliberately overcautious.
