He will bore you rigid with his views, biases, recollections and travel tips. He reviews novels, TV shows and movies, making lists and crapping on about pop culture. You have been warned.

Five things I hate about Bali...
1. Dodgy street currency exchange. If the rate looks too good to be true... it is. Go to reputable money changers (e.g. PT Central Kuta, BMC) but avoid hotel exchange rates.
2. Plastics in the surf - disposable diapers are the worst
3. The taxi mafia/taxi counter prices at Ngurah Rai Airport
Head outside the gates (5 minute walk) and grab a metered taxi (e.g. Blue Bird Group) or (if you are feeling cheeky and only have hand luggage), take the lift up to the Arrivals level and grab a taxi that's just dropped someone off.
4. The proliferation of tattoo parlours.
New trend - tattoo removal shops in Kuta/Legian.
5. Roadside rubbish dumping.
If there's a slope, chances are there's a mountain of trash down there.

Nusa Dua or Nusa Don't?
Public land adjoining 5 star hotels tends to be used as rubbish dumps. This is particularly noticeable in neighbouring Tanjung Benoa.
