Tomorrow (that is here in Australia, it being the 11th as I write this) is the 10th anniversary of what we 'down under' call the Bali bombing'. There is going to be a special commemoration on the site of the bombing, with many overseas visitors attending.
202 people died, 88 of them Australians, and many of those 88 were groups of people who had gone together. The aftermath is still keenly felt.
202 people died on 12 Oct 2002, in the worst incident ever to occur in the peaceful land of Bali. The bomb set off in front of popular local clubs of Sari Club and Pady's, killing both foreign tourists and locales, destroying cars, buildings and houses in the vicinity. The incident also made a major impact to the lives of the people of Bali. Just a few weeks after the incident, the amount of tourists travelling to Bali, which is the life for the people of Bali, decreased rapidly, forcing many local businesses to shut down, simply because there are no customers.
