Another blow for Bali
Sharon's recent Soundseeing tour of
Bali seems a little bittersweet now ...
She wasn't in the particular areas hit by the
weekend suicide bombers but it's still scary nevertheless. And just recently, we
were discussing a French report about Al Qaida and JI planning attacks in
various Southeastern Asian countries. We also talked about traveling right
around 9/11. And I said Bali should be safe but I wouldn't go there in October,
just in case.
For a beautiful area just recovering from the last suicide terrorist attacks, this is going to hurt that area. One news report quoted a journalist saying it's the final nail in the coffin for Bali's tourist industry. I wonder if the irony was intentional.
To hear that island, check out Soundseeing: Bali on my Podcast section. It does paint a different picture than what you see on the news these days. So sad.
