I've only been to Bali once and it was some years ago when everyone was staying away due to the problems in Jakarta. Our Foriegn Office only csaid it was ok to travel a coupole of months before we went and Japan was still saying no. (It was the year the new airport at KL opened).

They were so desparate for tourists that we did not see any corruption or dodgy dealings going on although that doesn't mean they weren't happening.
