Unfortunately, through no fault of its own, Bali has gone global, sharing with the rest of the world manifestations of terrorism and intolerence. Still, I would go there tomorrow, if given the excuse. I would just do what I would do anyway, stay away from the bar scene. Not my cup of sweet Balinese lotus and ginger tea anyhow.
