Not good

I just received an email from my mother whom I am supposed to be seeing in Bali in 3 weeks time. As most of you will now have heard there have been more Bali bombings and mum is, understandably, concerned about our trip and, quite frankly, so am I! I hadn't heard anything about the bombings until she emailed me so it came as quite a surprise. I'm going to ring her in a minute and see what she wants to do, it would be lovely if she could come to Australia but I don't know how long it takes to get a Vistor's Visa for here. I don't think it's long as my Working Holiday Visa only took 48 hours so that shouldn't be a problem. I can't believe that it's been bombed again. I feel quite selfish though as all I can think of is 'Thank god we weren't there' but is anywhere really safe these days? Melbourne has been stated recently as a target for terrorists and I have no doubt that other cities and places will be hit. All I can hope for is that me and mine are not involved. We had a lucky escape in London, and a slightly less narrow escape from Bali, I just hope that our luck continues.
