Yes I have. That is what I said before.

Yes I know. But I've seen it for myself when the tour I was with (Intrepid
Fox) took us through Deli and we saw a street brawl because a local
delicatessen was trying to rip off the locals... or so our guide told us.
These thugs overturned a car, burnt it, and started looking at us angrily. I
was shit scared. We simply moved on and nothing happened.
Of course I know that was an isolated incident and I know that the media,
especially Western media love to exaggerate these events to make travel
warnings, etc.
In fact my wife and I are going to Bali this year, even with Howard's so
called terrorist warnings. Personally it's a crock! The Balinese and India
for that matter, need tourism and one off incidents have not deterred me to
travel.
AND for your information, I've been to most of the Pacific (Tahiti, Fiji and
Samoa), Vietnam, Thailand, and south America... so yes... I know and do
appreciate other cultures.... (I am Chilean myself) but I still think
Australia is a great place to live compared to many other places and I would
not want to live anywhere else - even in my own country. The lifestyle here
is the best. Of course one has to live in another country for a few years to
start saying the same thing about that place... and say, 'oh Australia was
not that good.... I prefer it here now'..

My point of the post was that I think we don't appreciate what we have here.

Anyway enough of this... it's WAYYYY far off topic.
