#1 Why do people from Oz still go to Indonesia, or any other Muzzy country?

#2 "I ran into the ocean because I figured that was the safest place."

Australia, England on quality steroids.

#3 AOL has a video of one of the bombs going off - in a restaurant. I have no idea whether it's this restaurant or not.

The Indonesians are calling all three bombs 'suicide' bombers, so if the Ozzy is right (and I'd believe them over the Indonesian government any time) then there's something not right.

#7 Why do people from Oz still go to Indonesia,..

They are probably asking themselves that question right now, along with a large number of other individuals from other places. Not a good development for the Indos.

#8 The majority of Balinese are Hindu's.

Bali has been a Hindu enclave surrounded by Muslim islands for 500 years, ever since the collapse of the Hindu Majapahit kingdom that ruled much of what is today Indonesia. In recent years, however, Muslims from other parts of Indonesia have been moving to Bali as labourers, government employees and small traders, attracted by the wealth generated by the island's tourism.

The reason why Australians continue to travel to Bali is because many here have developed a 'connection' with the Balinese people & now vow not to be intimidated by terrorists.
There was an article on a news site this morning about how only 1/5 of Australians have cancelled their flights to Bali.
