My room is just down the street from the Bali Bomb memorial. I can actually see it from my room, the place where 202 people died in a terrorist bombing six years ago. They have a list of names and I noticed it was mostly Australians who died (88 I think) and there were a few Americans (about 7). The bombing too place at one of the popular night clubs here. These clubs are still popular and I could hear the music all night.
I spent some time going to the main city on the island, Denpassar. There I visited the Bali Musuem (Museum Negeri Propinsi Bali) and the state temple next door (Pura Jagatnatha). In the museum it seemed like one guy was trying to guide me, but I kept ignoring him and he went away. The same in the temple, a man in a baseball cap and T-shirt claming to be one of the Hindu priests there kept talking to me. I finally told me he was making me nervous and I wanted to walk around by myself.
Later I visited an old temple called Pura Maospahit. Near here I had some lunch at a local restaurant. Here there was no menu, so I pointed to what another man was eating. I paid 15000 Rupiah but then when the Indonesian man left I noticed he paid 8000 Rupiah! It made me angry and again I have to think twice about going anywhere that does not have a menu or posted prices.
Even on the slow public minibuses called Bemos, the drivers are not very honest. Quoting me 2-4x the real price, but I know what it should be so I just pay that.
