Bali<\/a>? Why would I go to Bali? Sure, it\u2019s gorgeous, with amazing beaches, markets, and cultural experiences. But with all the partying, binge drinking and spot-you-from-a-mile-away Aussies, I could just go to the Gold Coast, right? These were just a few of the thoughts I had when my partner suggested that he and I go on a short, but much needed, relaxing holiday in Bali. \u201cBut isn\u2019t Bali for bogans?\u201d I wondered. Well, it might be, but by the end of our 10-day trip, I was well and truly embracing my inner Bali Bogan without even realising. Here are nine signs you\u2019re a Bali Bogan, too, even if you don\u2019t know it.<\/p>\n

1. Bintang T-shirts somehow make their way into your suitcase *gasp!*<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As if you\u2019d buy a Bintang T-shirt and wear it around the island! Well, by day two of your stay, I guarantee you\u2019ll not only want to buy one for yourself, but a few for everyone you\u2019ve decided to buy souvenirs for. Yes, including Grandad.<\/p>\n

Grandad would rock a Bintang tee!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

2. You\u2019re more concerned about happy hour than breakfast<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When\u2019s happy hour again? When your Bali hotel includes a free cocktail at happy hour, delivered straight to your banana lounge by the pool, why would you bother worrying about breakfast? Although bacon and eggs will definitely go down a treat the next morning \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Is it happy hour yet?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3. You say bye-bye to your bra<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I am not the type of person to go further than the bedroom without wearing a bra, but it wasn\u2019t long before the Balinese heat and hedonistic vibes had me wandering around willy-nilly with unstrapped boobies. Bali Bogan alert!<\/p>\n
