Bali

The trouble with revisiting places, years later, is that they invariably have "improved" - more traffic, more noise, more concrete resorts at the beach, and more plastic garbage in the sand and the water. Some hotels have sewer pipes that color the water greenish brown.

But people are still as friendly as always, and away from the town centers with their shops and bars and American fast food chains there's still village life to be found. Bali is also quite large, and only the southern tip is seriously developed. In any case, Bali has a major international airport, making it a good starting point for traveling. 

Finally, back in a tropical climate, let's go island hopping! 

Unfortunately it's apparently no longer possible to post pictures, Google thought it would be a good idea to change the API.
