Name: Mr. Kama Deanna
Age: 27
Place of work: Mambu ( very badly damaged, on Jl. Legian across from Sari Club.)
Where were you the evening the bombing happened? What were you doing?:
At home in Legian. close by. I thought it was an electric shock. The security man Bendi called and said there was a bomb. I came to Mambu to help the injured. My friend Somalani was working in the shop and got her head cut. I called relatives to take her to hospital. Another guy called Goday has similar injuries.
Six people were working and hid in the back part of the shop were the Balinese artwork is. ( The Balinese part of the store at the back was almost undamaged.
I found a westerner’s leg and took it to the police. The man working close by in Haagen Dazs was killed.
It is a very scary scene that night, everything was dark. A lot of friends working at Sari Club were killed. I found a lot of heads and body parts everywhere. I saw a lot of people running injured.
After the bomb I saw the indicator of a burned out car blinking, I also heard people crying.
What would you like to say to the people who did this?:
Get a trial. They must be guilty and die. If they destroy Bali they’ve destroyed all the world.
What would you like to say to tourists considering coming to Bali?:
Bali is safe again.

I went to Ubud to take a break from work and my son. Wanted so bad to do a mini-documentary on Kuta and it’s aftermath. Cried when I found my local javanese friends still alive. They all have their own versions of where they were and what went on throughout the bombings. Life was hard. I cried and I cried thanking the Universe for their lives. This will end my nightmares of Bali and finally settled me knowing they were safe.
While filming the bombing site, I saw Mambo being ripped apart and till this day have not been renovated. I wonder if business is still on. This caused a reflection of how hard it is for business to recover form such a tragedy. Money is involved and the travel industry is deteriorating.
Sure prices are so different from when it was 5 years ago, but I never did attempt to bargain much. It is up to us as “tourist” to help bring back and nurture Bali’s economy again.
So everything is so comfort to the journey
