Ok the Huff Post is renowned for its lightweight reporting but..... need I say more
"When most of us think of Bali, a sense of wanderlust immediately overtakes us, right? We imagine our toes sinking into soft, white sand and hair blowing in a warm breeze as we gaze out into the tropical paradise we finally managed to cross off our bucket lists.

It was a nice fantasy while it lasted.

My toes didn’t do much sinking—they were too busy trying to sidestep the disgusting heaps of trash everywhere. I was so confused. This wasn’t the Bali that popped up in my Internet search. This was something horrific. How could an island renowned for its infinite beauty mutate into a giant litter box? ?

If you go all the way down to the comments section it gets considerably more "real" and the input from the author explains her standpoint more clearly too.
