...explosion was clearly timed to mow down as many foreigners as possible. Kuta is the nightlife capital of Bali, and Jalan Legian is its main drag. Rows of bars, their street fronts open to Bali's warm night air, form a bustling pub crawl route for legions of backpackers, surfers and Australian tourists. And around 11pm, when the bomb exploded, would have been the street's peak hour. Hundreds of revelers and street vendors shilling Balinese handicrafts fill the avenue at night. Sari Club, says a local, was one of the more exclusive: it only admitted Westerners; locals weren...
...hours from Sydney to a town in the middle of the Australian outback incidentally made famous as the location where the drag-queen epic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert was filmed. Staying at the only available “hotel” (a run-down pub known affectionately to the bushie locals as “Mario’s Palace”) and working in 100-degree temperatures in a dust bowl, the stylist still managed to look as calm, collected and—most impressively—clean as she had back at air-conditioned...

...good night, or any bad one for that matter, will end in the pub with a pint of Guinness or Bulmer's sublime hard cider. With a pub for every 450 Dubliners, it's hard to go wrong, but two favorites are Thing Mote and the Stag's Head, which, a few years older than the American republic, is a traditional haunt of Trinity College students. Irish music is on tap nightly at O'Donoghue's Bar and the Temple Bar (in the heart of the neighborhood that shares its name), where you can also enjoy a beer garden...
