Bali, why do Australians go there?

I heard on the news another 2 Australians died in Bali. Why do Australians go there? We have better places to holiday at right here at home! 

 

We have great food, fantastic beaches and many beautiful places to go to so why do Aussies feel the need to go to third world countries when we have everything here? 

 

We are fortunate to have the best of everything why risk it all in a country with standards far below ours.

 

If I were given free flights + free cash to go to Bali I would decline! No way would I go there under any circumstances.

 

Support Australian jobs.

Support our economy.

Spend your money here.

Holiday our wonderful country.

How many more Australians have to die over there before people wake up?

and it also helps a lot that we live in a truly amazing community, a lot of really awesome people who really helped us through some hard times with the kids and stuff. It's hard to explain, but they're a special group of people and they treat me and mine like their own,even though it's only the 2 boys who do the church thing, OH, LC and I don't do all that stuff and they still love us LOL


Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.

My sister lived on the Gold Coast for 25 years or so.  She has just moved north to get away from the influences of the drug and associated misbehaviour of the young "society".  Remember, those that depend on drugs have to get their money from somewhere to buy...... hence theft, burglary, muggings.   I recall the days in the 70s at Labrador, when the "high rise" was a 3 storey building.

Back on topic...lol
The police have said they removed 27 kinds of medication from the room including anti allergy meds.
I thought I took a lot, I take 7 kinds, 3 of which are vitamin supliments, 2 kinds of tummy medication for just in case and 2 pain killers for headaches.

27 kinds of medication certainly sounds bizarre, even taken into consideration for 2 people.

My 7 kinds are for both of us. I can't imagine trying to remember 27 kinds, who takes what and when.

27 mecications is just staggering. I did wonder whether they'd both taken something when they became sick that they reacted to. With that many medications, perhaps they took a couple of things that reacted badly with each other. Very sad, I hope the family get some answers.

That's a lot! I thought I took a lot. I take a total of 8, including natural therapies.
