I phone wyan a mate there , i share mushroom soup with .. his report
he says
45 dead, 180+ seriously wounded by flying debris.
2 dead aussies confirmed and 8 with 'massive injuries'
involving missing limbs.
2 Americans amongst the confirmed dead,but ID is a problem.
One bomb went off in the Mata Hari Dept Store in Kuta and the other
was on Jimbaran Beach..our seafood restaurant.
Being Sat night,both were jam packed..the barstewards HAVE
to be caught & punished by death...slowly.
Channel 9 was already there for the drug trials as well as the Anniversary
which is on the 12th Oct.
They interviewed 2 young Perth women who had survived the previous bombings
and risked their own lives by going back into the Sari Club & pulling people
out.
They went back to Bali to prove that the terrorists don't run their
lives...but,.....
you should see these poor girls now!
100% of the Mata Hari staff are Balinese.....but that wouldn't bother the
bombers
as the Balinese are Hindu ( like Buddhists)and not Muslims...ditto
Jimbaran.
This makes me sick.
Rosie and I always shop till we drop at the Mata Hari,
and have our meals at Jimbaran cos it is right on the beach,
maybe 5 yards from where the waves break,it's magic, or was...
I loved the Jimbaran seafood but wasn't too keen
on the very crowded Mata Hari store which is smack dead centre of Kuta.
It's bizarre seeing it all blown up....cripes,
any one of us all could have been there no worries
