hadodi wroteSorry, but is this is true it is a proof of incredible stupidity. Nobody, including "developed" orang bule was curious and asked what this was about. Can not believe it. My theory is that they all thought it would be great tourist attraction - mata uang
You live 10km from Candi Dasa, did you know about it?
Fact is (for whatever nefarious reason) even the head of Karangasem's tourism board, who is also the GM of one of the affected hotels, knew nothing about it until it washed up on his beach and was broadcast on the various FB pages and here.
I reckon those that have lived here a while will have their thoughts on who did what with whatever money was made available for this "project". I also believe this will be the main stumbling block to any further development - that any outside contributor will be looking for professional project leadership (adult supervision) and a set of KPIs (key progress indicators) that can be realistically followed.
Hands up those that think this will be an Indonesian...
