Bali is Bali

Bali is Bali

Referring to the letter Nice boys, a thing of the past (May 2,
1997) I would like to give some comments.

It was a pity that Mrs. Margaret Gaspers had to experience
such a rude treatment from a vendor in Kuta, Bali. There are a
lot of tourists who agree with her.

But there are still a lot of alternatives on the island where
you still feel that Bali is Bali. For example, in Candidasa you
will find a peaceful area, no vendors on the street or on the
beach. Transport might be offered to you in a nice polite way.
The area is not commercialized and the people are nice. There is
a variety of hotels and restaurants ranging from small
traditional establishments up to more elite types.

So perhaps Mrs. Gaspers and all the others who still love Bali
might want to try coming to Bali again. There are still a lot of
places to stay in the less-spoiled parts of Bali, besides the
known but a bit too commercialized places.
