"So embarrassing": Tourist slammed for "stupid" stunt in Bali
A British tourist has gone viral for all the wrong reasons after his "stupid" stunt in a Bali resort left him red-faced.
The British traveller was believed to be staying at the 5-star Apurva Kempinski hotel in Nusa Dua, considered the island’s most luxurious location, when he came across a large decorative bowl filled with water and flower petals.
The man was then filmed and egged on by a friend who can be heard saying "Okay now put your face in it", before he followed the instruction.
When he went to submerge himself, he proceeded to accidentally tip over the bowl sending water and rose petals flying through the lobby of the resort, and all over himself too.
The video, which has amassed a whopping 41 million views, was quickly subject to a wave of backlash online, with many slamming the tourist's "stupid" actions.
“You come to Bali without bringing your brain? Why do you have to destroy everything in someone else’s country?” one person wrote.
“Omg money can’t buy brains. So stupid and embarrassing.” said another.
A third added sarcastically, “Well that’s just lovely isn’t it, so careful and respectful and cultured.”
Despite the thousands of comments sharing their condemnation of the tourist's actions, others were quick to leap to his defence, saying it was clearly an accident.
“I mean it’s just a bowl of water and flowers. Nothing broke it’ll be OK. Just say you’re sorry,” one person said.
“Am I the only one who feels bad for him,” another wrote
.Other viewers admitted they would be “mortified” if it had happened to them.
“I would just lay on the floor like I passed out,” one joked. “I would leave the country,” another wrote.
It’s not clear what happened afterwards but many were hopeful the tourist helped staff clean up the mess.
