Return to Bali
Although the Kuta Club, the primary target in last year’s terror attack on Australians, has not been rebuilt (and it won’t be, not until after twelve months have passed, so as to ensure no evil spirits remain), the other bombing site in Bali, Paddy’s Irish Pub, reopened its doors on Saturday, full of the sound of ‘Strine, once again. It’s a very nice thing for Bali, and for those of us feeling the effects of September 11 and October 12 it’s a very heartening event, especially when so many of the survivors were able and willing to return to Bali for the celebration.
