Be honest, expressed as a percentage for each of the times you have been to Bali, what percentage of your trips to Bali have you been a victim of or witnessed other people being a victim of police and or immigration officer corruption? You know, where you get stopped by a traffic cop and told you were doing something wrong when you weren't and required to pay them a "fine" without receipt?

Let's do Bali first, and then try the same with Thailand and Vietnam etc. after yes?

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.
