Bali is an island part of Indonesia and is 300 miles from Australia and about a million hours flight time from the USA.
My wife and I visited Bali a few years ago, though we had been buying Jewelry from several Bali Manufacturers for years and had gotten to know them quite well.
While there we visited them and saw their factories and showrooms and it was quite an enlightening trip.
First of all, there is actually a Starbucks in Bali. And this was pretty amazing to us. We flew into Denpasar Airport and we had hired a driver so we could find the "resort" we were going to stay at.
The streets and roads of Bali are thick with small motorbikes sometimes tooling along at breakneck speeds with multiple passengers as many as 4 to one motorbike.
