Markit
Every so often Bali Discovery Tours (hearafer BDT) comes up with this info-letter purporting to bring news of Bali, but being a marketing organ (as in kidney, liver, testes) actually has a slightly schizophrenic function of trying to "inform" us and sell "us" to the the marketing world at the same time. I, personally, am often amazed at the stuff that comes up there and up till now I've always thought "what the feck do I know?" . Thing is, in the mean time, I've been here a fair while and I've really been paying attention but I have to say again and agian I have no fecking clue who or what they/he (Jack Daniels) are talking about, for instance: [h=1]Bali's Loses Much-Loved Tourism Pioneer[/h] [h=2]Ida Pedanda Gde Ngurah Karang - Founder of Segara Village Hotel Dies at 87 [COLOR=#ff0000](I'm trashed, you? what does a "tourism pioneer do, go across the swimming pool in a covered wagon?)[/COLOR][/h][COLOR=#ff0000] [/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000] [/COLOR] [I](12/22/2014)[/I] Bali has lost one of its most illustrious tourism figures [COLOR=#ff0000](how many of these feckers are there?)

[COLOR=#ff0000]Help me out here, but didn't the dead guy have a hotel? So "promoting tourism" is called "making a living" where I come from. [/COLOR] In addition, he noted that Kompiang and his wife were the first local entrepreneurs to erect a hotel on Sanur Beach in 1956. [COLOR=#ff0000](What I said before - making living)[/COLOR]That hotel - the [I]Segara Village [/I]- was constructed by Ida Bagus Kompiang [COLOR=#ff0000](the dead guy?)[/COLOR] a full ten years before Bali's historic[I] Bali Beach Hotel[/I] opened its doors.[B][COLOR=#ff0000]("Historic" is when Mao admits to being a kiddy-fiddler or the Atlantic Ocean turns into a goldfish bowl)[/COLOR][/B] The original hotel has been expanded and improved over the years and has now become a tourist accommodation landmark in Sanur. [COLOR=#ff0000](who's dick is getting sucked here?)[/COLOR]In the 1960s at the request of the Republic ,Kompiang organized innovative [I]Indonesian Floating Fairs [/I]using a cruise ship to promote Indonesian tourism in Hawaii, Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Thailand and Singapore. The ship carried tourism professionals and an arts team from Sanur to showcase Bali tourism at each port of call. [COLOR=#ff0000]Worked a treat - Bali really bloomed in the 60s - no, actully no fecker came here until the 90s so the thing with the ship was a waste of time.
