A change in morality laws.
For those frequent visitors to Bali May have to change any immoral habits they may have as Indonesia is about to make it illegal to have sex outsisde of marriage with Gaol terms of upto 1 year for those caught.And this applies to all, residents and visitors alike . JS this came up twice as the system of aerial reception and transmission is on the blink this may or may not clear. JS.........

Re: A change in morality laws.
Having been to most of the Indonesian islands I can assure all who wish to visit Bali not to fear.
Indonesia is an Islamic nation, but not Bali, that is a form of Hindu.
The approach to life is somewhat different to the rest of the nation, a little more liberal.
But to be done for cohabiting with a non married person a family member must first inform the police, a group of good people who are more concerned with other matters, very rare for them to bother tourists.
These people bring in much needed revenue, so getting ones leg over is not a problem.
There are so many 'massage' parlors there, all with a happy ending.

John.
I wouldn't like to be the first to test the resolve of the Indonesian Govt over this, they might want to make an early example.
