I think it goes without saying that Bali is a paradise … for bogans. Clutching a bottle of Bintang beer, I overheard one bogan saying to another, “Oi mate, this Bintang kicks arse, tastes bloody good, mate.” The other replied, “Sh*t mate, these touts are rippin’ youse off. Them Balinese oversell everythin’ to people like us.” Despite feeling “ripped off,” I could tell the bogans were enjoying their time in Bali, where they can clog up the footpaths, ride motorbikes with limited protection, go into bars shirtless, find cheap food on every corner and basically indulge in all the other things they can’t afford do in Australia. Cheap flights, a strong Australian dollar and close proximity to the land Down Under makes Bali the perfect getaway for any bogan. Great article by Abdul explaining why, ever since I moved to Australia, I no longer think Bali is a nice holiday place. Well, to be fair the last time I went to Kuta (the trashy side) was when I was 10, and the last time I went there the family decided to go to the hippy/arty mountainside of Ubud.  Click here to read the full article.
