<<off topic>> I traveled in Japan and SE Asia for three months in 1991, and only had reservations in only one country, Japan. Only reason I'm going to HK is because my girlfriend has a good friend there. Bali, however, was my choice. Of all the places I went, Bali was my favorite, followed closely by Java and Thailand. Will do my best do avoid the Aussie party town of Kuta, but staying at Poppies is kind of a treat. I avoid the major resorts like the plague. Renting a jeep and getting into the little towns is my kind of travel (Lonely Planet fanatic). Last time I stumbled upon a funeral procession, and was invited to join the festivities (for those of you that have never been to Bali, funerals are huge celebrations). Arguing over 50 cents is not a good use of my time, but bargaining is a social interaction, so I do it to get in touch with the locals. I could go on and on about that part of the world, but I'll save the bandwidth. Bagus!
