The traffic situation in Bali is a topic that never goes out of circulation. One thing though, this Christmas / New Years the traffic itself is in danger of going out of circulation due to complete gridlock. You've seen it before, holiday tourists, busy locals, domestic tourists all converging on Bali. In the past though motorbikes have been able to scoot by on the inside and releave some of the pressure. Now in Kuta area the traffic situation is such a mess that even the bikes have nowhere to go.
One wonders if like a frog inside a pot of warm water at what point will the tourists say 'enough is enough'. If like a frog they will simply get used to it and stay in the pot until they get cooked then they'll get what they deserve, as will the Bali tourism industry for developing hotels, shopping and nightlife establisments with no thought to water, garbage, sewage, transport and effects on culture.
Tip: If you want a good NYE in Bali stay away from the Kuta area.....it SUCKS!!!!
