Chrissie Swan knows a forced tropical holiday definitely isn’t the worst thing in the world.
Like many other Australians, 41-year-old TV/Radio presenter Chrissie Swan is being held against her will in Bali right now.
But unlike the many other Australians who are holding on to that last shred of hope that they’ll be home before Christmas, Chrissie doesn’t really give a sh*t.
While camera crews are staked out at Sydney airport interviewing the survivors of the volcanic ash cloud disaster, Chrissie’s ordering cocktails, because she knows it’s not a big deal.
Yeah, it’d be super annoying if you’re stuck in Bali with no money because Happy Hour at your resort drained your bank account. But think of the positives: You are literally on a forced holiday. There’s nothing your boss can do about you not coming into the office.
In between tweets to Jetstar asking about her flight, Chrissie’s also defending her right to travel to Bali, after one Twitter follower shamed her for being there in the first place.
Chrissie made the excellent point that, if we really boycotted countries based on their political beliefs, Australia’s tourism industry should be dead.
Don’t #PrayForChrissie, you guys. She’ll be okay. Pray for every 19-year-old who went to Bali for a week and blew their cash on tequila shots.
