I was in Bali last week.
The island is a tremendous boost for the mind and body. It is a very spiritual place. Except perhaps the spirits seem to be locked away in warehouses and not making it into the bars and restaurants.
I was in a small bar in Seminyak and asked for a Vodka and tonic - no vodka, how about a rum and coke - no rum. Hmmm.
So thanks to Professor Bernadette I can assure you that this is not just my imagination.
It seems there is a technical dispute going on with the local tax authorities and the distribution channels. No one can explain the reason. Already imported wine is subject to 300% tax. Now it would appear that cheap booze is about to go the same way.
Even without the booze - Bali still a great place to visit - just take some of your favorite tipple with you when you enter. Its good insurance.
Cheers
