[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bali, Indonesia. Some of it was very trashy. Amazingly trashy. [/quote]

This is mine. I feel unbelievably privileged to be able to say it, like what a-hole complains about Bali?! FWIW I had lived in Asia for a long time (various parts) so this would be akin to taking a 5 day trip to FL from here, so that is part of the privilege I suppose.

And I didn't have a miserable time or anything, I was on holiday and it was fun and relaxing. I was all over the country, not just one part. It just ranked so low compared to a lot of other places in Asia. Bali is full of tourists who are either bad stereotypes of tourists to poorer but beautiful countries to party like Russian EDM-loving 20 year old d-bags OR tourists who think they are an "authentic traveller" and so much above and different than other (white) people visiting because #namaste, and the like. LOL. If you are into the surfing culture/ scene it can be pretty awesome.

Scenery is beautiful but not really unique to many other islands and areas of SE Asia.[/quote]
