Five Safety Tips for Anyone Thinking About Reading Bali Raw









1.       Do not read Bali Raw in public. I would advise that before you pick up a copy you ask yourself one question. Do I really want people to know that I am reading a book that contains stories that involve drinking, violence and prostitution?

2.       Do not try and bring a copy of Bali Raw through Bali customs. Indonesia has some very strict laws pertaining to foreigners criticising or saying unpleasant things about Indonesia. And I do not want to be held responsible if you are arrested for bringing contraband into the country.

3.       Do not read Bali Raw if you are any of the following. A Catholic nun, a pacifist, a hippy, an Indonesian Government Censorship officer, a person with their own aspirations of writing a travel book about Bali or Jakarta, and a person that never wants to read anything bad written about Bali. As a further warning this book should also not be read by a person who is under the age of eighteen.

4.       Do not read if you have a weak stomach, believe me some of the things that I find funny are just plain awful. Case in point these safety tips.

5.       Do not read Bali Raw if you have a dislike trailer trash attributes, for example: Swearing, drinking, fighting, sex, working girls, happy ending massages, and all that other stuff that you are not supposed to like. Unless of course you live in a caravan, you smoke two or more packets of cigarettes a day and you drink your wine out of a box.

Finally please feel free to apply these safety tips to Bali Raw 2, the follow up installment should be available in 2014
