So here we are, after Time Magazine give us a kick in the ass by saying, " Holiday in Hell ..." some of the so called local king along with nasty investor try to gain more and more money by selling the drama of poverty to raise the developing in their area, some area already crowded by villas and hotels and the newest idol 'Condotel'.
For God sake, who will stay in those condotel? Not balinese uh uh .. Not us ... and those Apartment is not 'tourism destination' so many place have apartment and condotel, Bali no need Condotel, Bali is a tiny small island with small street, we don't need Big cars, big bus, Train or big Condotel nor big headed stupid politics criticism ... we desperate in need of green cultural, green economic ... so stop feeding the 'TOURISM' Monkey Business, Let us keep Bali to be world destination!

WHO WILL DEPENDS AND SAVE OUR LOVELY SMALL PARADISE IF NOT US, THE BALINESE AND THOSE WHO LOVE BALI MORE THAN GREENY CASH IN THEIR POCKET...

Report from AFP said, Travellers from around the world using Lonely Planet's online forum Thorn Tree were generally positive about their recent experiences in Bali.
Some people posted warnings about thefts, noise and gave examples of bad accommodation around Kuta Beach.

"Kuta, Bali is very commercial but still a nice spot for a conventional beach holiday if that's what you want," British traveller Cazmondo said.
Bali local Putusukma said Kuta's beaches could get messy with garbage from the river flow, but there were plenty of alternative beaches.
"Bali was touristy but it didn't take away from its beauty, at least for us," Canadian traveller amz151 wrote.
Some people posted warnings about thefts, noise and gave examples of bad accommodation around Kuta Beach.
US traveller LexS said the Kuta area was "anything but serene".
But others wrote about the joys of getting off the beaten track and discovering some of its hidden gems.
"I feel really blessed experiencing a Bali that the majority of tourist never sees. I know to some Bali does seem overly developed and this is true but if you do try you can still find the real Bali out there," said janus50.
Bali Tours' Gordon Tanner said Time magazine's criticism came as a surprise.
"There was always a perception in the past - I'm talking 20 years ago - that it was dirty and just for people who wanted to go and buy cheap knick knacks.
"But it's metamorphasised into an amazingly upmarket destination.
"People are going to be picky with certain things, that's bound to take place from time to time."
