1. Never taking off: (Another) abandoned plane in South Kuta
Planes – huge ones – seem to be all the
rage in Bali right now.Earlier,we found one carefully wedged between houses in Kuta,
and guess what? Turns out that’s not the only “abandoned” plane in the vicinity
– there’s another one in South Kuta, near the idyllic Pandawa beach.The two planes bear an uncanny
similarity to each other – both have people claiming to be their owners, with
plans to turn these gigantic flying contraptions into restaurants.
2. Abandoned amusement park: Taman Festival
Taman Festival is a large amusement park
in Sanur that was never completed.Since the park – and its crocodile pit –
was abandoned 14 years ago, it has literally crumbled, a sad reminder of an
abandoned potential that was never realised.Now, with shaky buildings threatening to
fall at any moment, missing roofs and treacherous steps, locals refer to the
old park as a “ghost town”.
3. Hotel uncompleted: Taman Rekreasi Bedugul
Originally a project initiated by the
son of Indonesia’s second president, Tommy Suharto, the construction of theTaman Rekreasi Bedugul Hotelwas
inexplicably halted after the terrorists’ bomb attacks in 2002.For the past 12 years, the
half-completed hotel has been slowly rotting away. And even now, no one can say
for sure why it is so.In fact, Taman Rekreasi Bedugul was
almost ready for its opening day – toilets had been installed, and it’s even
furnished with beds and an elegant reception area.
