i am constantly amazed at these reports.What you people don't know is that there is a large exodus of tourists coming here now due to the fact that there are too many 'new' hotels being built and having no consideration of the Balinese architecture. I am appalled at the amount of these western developers bulldozing Balinese establishments all for the sake of pleasing the western tourist. If the western tourists want to stay in these ugly and disgusting hotels then let them go elsewhere and leave our (once) beautiful island alone.Bali is too small for all this development, we do not need any more hotels and certainly not like the ones currently being built. I would have thought that tourists come to Bali to experience living in a Balinese hotel and to be amazed at the Balinese architecture instead of living in a glass and concrete un-interesting bloody western shite. Sadly the island has almost lost all it's charm and beautiful coastline to the developers.In years to come...i would like to think months...these new hotels will be empty because the majority of tourists that have been coming here for many many years will never return because of what is happening to Bali.
