Bali has no hard feelings for Time Magazine

"No big deal about the report. Time only doesn't know that garbage in Kuta beach is part of Mother Nature's work," That during the west monsoon from November to early in January the waters around the sea across Kuta and Legian beaches would whirl bringing with it all sort of garbage, including those non-native of Bali including huge logs.

Also admitted the yearly natural phenomenon causes problems when the waters at Kuta becomes a host for certain microorganism that turns the waters rather brown. However, the authorities would advise tourists from getting into the water for some time until waters clear from impacts of the phenomenon.
