    Why Aussies love to go to Bali

    Who's at fault?

    Here's an interesting one. Who's at fault? Doesn't it mean the minibus driver simply ran him over? Even if he tooted his horn? This goes along with my theory that if something happens 80% of the time Indonesians plan/act/think as though it always happens. I'm not sure why, possibly Balinese...
