Language, Please! Bad Manners At Bali's Airport!
oooooooooooooooooooooo

I see from the Bali website that the authorities at Ngurah Rai Airport seem to have been unconscionably rude to Bali’s Deputy-Governor, I Ketut Sudikerta.
He wrote to them six months ago, urging use of the distinctive language of the Isle of the Gods.’ I once read some fool travel book that told its readers that Balinese was incomprehensible.
But my Javanese friends tell me that it is not that different from their language, and they could follow conversations among islanders. Alas, I can’t.
But I think I Ketut Sudikerta is quite justified in his proposal.What amazes me is the airport’s failure to respond.
Indonesians are usually courteous. But if the high-ups at Ngurah Rai are so dismissive of common civility, what must we mere travellers expect at the hands of their minions?
