Dian G., Bali: "I understand that HSBC is trying hard to get rid of the image of being a Chinese bank. That is why they changed the name from Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation to HSBC. And that is why they call themselves a local bank, not a Chinese bank. But in their TV ads some time ago they just went too far. Remember? They portrayed a stupid Chinese businessman who served his guest ever bigger fish. In countries like Malaysia they had a good laugh at that Chinese idiot in the HSBC movie. But what irks me more is that I am contributing to HSBC Malaysia's earnings. Sent 60,000 US dollar to them from Hong Kong HSBC and lost about 600 dollars, even though they told me I would get a preferential rate as long as it's more than 50,000 US. Hope they spend the money they made on me for better ads."

Es saprotu, ka HSBC megina gruti atbrivoties no attela ir Kinas banka. Tapec vini maina nosaukumu no Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation, lai HSBC. Un tas ir iemesls, kapec vini sevi sauc par vietejas bankas, nevis Kinas banka. Bet to TV reklamu pirms kada laika vini vienkarši aizgaja parak talu. Atceries? Tas atainojums stulbu kiniešu biznesmenis, kas izcietusi viesu arvien lielakam zivim. Tadas valstis ka Malaizija tie bija labi smieties par to, ka Kinas idiots ar HSBC filmu. Bet ko irks man vairak tas, ka es esmu veicina HSBC Malaizija ienakumiem. Sent $ 60.000 tam no Hong Kong HSBC un zaudeja apmeram 600 dolaru, kaut ari man es iegutu preferencialu likmi, kamer ta ir vairak neka 50.000 ASV. Ceru, ka vini tere naudu vini par mani labak reklamas.

Bali / Meeting Facilities

For more than two decades Bali has been a major international tourist destination and it has now matured as a meeting and convention venue.

Indonesia’s paradise island provides one of the world’s most interesting and exotic environments for a business gathering.

Against a backdrop of excellent beaches and spectacular scenery, the graceful Balinese proudly maintain and uphold their unique culture. There are festivals all year round and everywhere the haunting sounds of gamelan music can be heard.

The principal meeting and convention area is the Nusa Dua district where the Bali International Convention Centre is supported by an impressive variety of live star resorts.

However, the adjoining areas of Kuta, Sanur, Tuban and Jimbaran are also well catered for with luxury hotels.

In fact, all of Bali’s premium hotels and resorts feature dedicated meeting and convention facilities.

The island’s marketers are packing more options and innovations into their products, making them as easy to buy as conventional holiday packages.

Meetings and conventions can be adapted to suit any number of themes, from a Sultan’s palace, to a traditional Balinese market or a futuristic city of the year 3000.

The major venues can also transform themselves into simulated business environments, where new business concepts, product lines and sales techniques can be road tested.

Or perhaps you would prefer to conduct your business over golf, tennis, diving, rafting or trekking; together with outstanding food and entertainment?
