I certainly got the point as to what Markit was getting at, and maybe there has been a lot of people who would think it's going to be like going on a long extended holiday, when in reality I know it will certainly have it's ups and downs, by its lime anywhere in the world, life is what you make it.
Dear woman we here in Balipod are renowned for our forthright and unbiased opinion and our willingness to tell people what they don't want to hear. As you may be beginning to understand we have absolutely nothing personal against you or your dear family so when I and all the rest that are nicer than I am try to suggest that your idea of bringing your family to live in Bali a really, really, really bad one is then please try and understand - it is a really, really, really fecking bad idea.
If it was just you and hubby that were willing to endure "life is what you make it" then we would all wish you gung ho and get stuck in. Where the whole thing changes is that we've also all seen waves of idiots with that attitude come and crash in flames.
Frankly I'm tired of watching it happen and I don't give a shite for the parents but the kids are an entirely different matter and the only reason I'm willing go to the effort to write this. Also understand that SiamSam is writing from Thailand, not Indonesia and as he himself says that is most likely an entirely different dynamic and doesn't really relate to Bali, Indonesia - and he is a very lucky bunny IMHO. You in all probability won't be. Are you willing to accept that danger for the lives of your children? If your answer is yes to that then call the adoption agency now, because you don't have their best interests at heart and should be under adult supervision yourself.
Have a nice day
Markit
