Mostly Japanese at the upscale non-beach resorts, and the rest were Aussies in all the beach towns like Sanur, Seminyak etc , as far as tourists.
The largest ex-pat population is from Oz, so yes, I think of it as their stepchild--they'd rather be home, but too cheap to live there.
The beaches are nothing special--it's the local people who are special.
Very few Amercans in Bali--my comment was about so many Americans in Vegas--hence the comparison of some of the beach towns turning INTO Vegas (littler versions woud be Branson, Gatlinburg...)
I can't tolerate the timeshare carp in Mexico either--what a pain--We never had an issue at Hacienda Tres Rios--we made it clear from arrival and no bother.
Harldy ever encountered Europeans in Bali--but we didn't haunt the beach towns and major tourism spots near DPS.
