    I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy the affordable luxuries and the 'happy happy' moments of my time in Bali, but I realize now that those cheap fixes come with hidden costs. As the mass tourism continues, the grandeur of the natural landscape is obscured by a spectacle of scenery and ornament; the sanctity of tradition is disregarded and put on display; the genuine warmth and spirit of the local people is veiled by a curtain of commercial hospitality.
