    Would it have killed ya to wait until you got off the island to make a mockery of their local customs? Play stupid games, when stupid prizes

    Id say if youre a guest, just behave. But sitting inside all day w/o entertainment during your vacation is ass too. i can imagine he didnt know this happens during his stay until staff notified him and he escalated. 1 year jail for that is wayyyy to harsh. Make it a fine. Use the dollars for something nice.

    “What the defendant did offended the Balinese people, hurt their faith and provoked public outrage,”

    LOL get over yourselves.
