Part 1: Breaking a leg in Bali

by balisunshine

Lets face it,with the ruthless way that driving is conducted here;the amount of motorbikes used as a way of transportation;the poor infrastructure of roads and even the so-called sidewalks that one uses to walk on,makes breaking a bone or two as common as catching Dengue Fever,or even getting Bali Belly. (…not to mention the possible surfing accidents.)And even though these incidents are common,we may get caught at a moment of surprise and in a position in not really knowing what to do.So, it eventually happened to me.After my 5th year in Bali, I had a motorbike accident.First things first…..do you have insurance?If so, then go directly to BIMCor S.O.S. These are private clinics in Baliwith a better reputation than most others.And one does wind up getting charged for it.So, either be insured or have a fat wallet.It is most probable that they may not have the equipment to treat a serious...

methanol in liquor killing people

by treegazer

In the last week 21 people have died and 51 and been made ill by ingesting liquor that has been laced with methanol. This is a common practice in Bali to raise the alchohol content cheaply. It just killed a wonderful American artist named Rose Johnson, only 48 years old.If you value your life, don't drink any liquor produced in Bali.

A dollar! A dollar!

by Jim_Eliason

As you exit tourist sites, hawkers will offer you fantastic handmade gifts for a dollar. Beware. Often times what you are shown is not what you will get and prices will suddenly rise when you try to buy.

Safety

by freespirit1

Well I witnessed a boy try to cross a busy Sydney Street and get hit by a taxi.....Backpacking in Dubrovnik s deemed 'safe'Is it safe?....If you buy into Terrorist's propaganda then they have won, however ultimately any unpredicted thing can happen at any given moment so isn't the best advice to enjoy every last moment from here on in as your last?

The Bali Tattoo / The Bali Kiss

by balisunshine

If you happen to catch a glimpse of someone with a mark which is similar to a birth mark on there legs,it is most probably that it is the scar of a burn caused by a motorbike.Sometimes when the motorbikes are parked too closely together,you just might be parked next to a motorbike that has the exhaust pipe still very hot.And as you slip between the bikes,Ouch! Burn!Or even worse, if you happen to fall with part of the motorbike on youand with the exhaust pipe landing somewhere on your body….sizzle….you can smell the cooking flesh!Or just carelessly getting off the bike,you can accidentally touch the exhaust pipe.If this is to occur,it is extremely important not to get the burn wetand to consistently clean it out.There have been many cases where it gets infected, causing further discomfort and leading to taking antibiotics or even receiving penicillin in extreme cases.Do not go into the...

Say No To Drugs

by BesarRahasia

Sounds obvious doesn't it, Indonesia has very strict laws about drugs, both traffiking and possession, and there are quite a few visitors here who take the attitude"to be honest what harm can be done with a coupe of recreational smokes!!!"Well without wanting to appear a killjoy or anything, the risks taken can be quite severe, there are quite a few people (tourists included)enjoying the hospitality of a Balinese jail, just for possession of what some people consider to be a small amount of recreational drugs.Just like anywhere else in the world, Bali has a drug problem, which is growing, not as severe as some places but still here, so be careful, the authorities are clamping down on this problem. There are plain clothes policemen and women out there who will try to sell the unsuspecting person something, them before you know it ------ UNDER ARRESTOh and also be aware that if you bring...

Don't take the bait!

by TaniaBeard

After leaving Paddy's Reloaded on our first night in Kuta we were offered every drug under the sun from some shonky looking guys outside the club.Keep your head down & say a loud NO. Don't ever be tempted to even entertain the thought. These guys will get you the gear will and tell the police and you'll be living it up with Shapelle Corby & the Bali 9 on an extended vacation in Karaboken!! It's just not worth it....

Drug Raids

by balisunshine

For those who have fond memoriesof a Bali when one was carefree,and here to have fun, well, things have changed at a certain level.Those fun villa parties,have been reduced by fearcaused by the clamp downby the police force and their raids.But these raids don’t stop here!They are conducted in public venues too!No matter how chic they are!The police arrive in large numbers,loaded in their trucks,block all exits and entrances,carrying guns, and ready too kill any partyweather you have drugs on you or not.They will definitely leave you gazing in aweat this aggressive gesture and once they leave,it will definitely take a while before your heart stops pumpin’ and you will feel the ease of the party again.Lights are turned on,while they walk around the premises with their sniffing dogs searching their next victim of extortionor to just simply put away in a Bali jail.Shocked are those...

Dang That Dengue Fever Part 2

by balisunshine

The time you are mostly likely to get bitten is, 2 hours before sunrise and 2 hours before sunset. So, between those times, take precautions.If you start havingfever like 30 or 40 C,along with headaches,throwing up and stomach aches,these maybe symptoms, you should get doubled checkedin a hospital.There isn’t a cure, should you be unfortunate enough to get the disease.Drink lots of fluids, including Guava Juice which,helps the blood platelets go up so that your body can fight the disease.For more information onthe development of Dengue Fever, click:World Health Organization (WHO)WHO Regional Office for South East Asia (SEARO) Republic of Indonesia Ministry of HealthBali Travellers Warned on Dengue Risks
