Here's a photo from our trip to Bali, Indonesia back in 2000. We had a fabulous time. Met some great people, had some good nights out, great food, shopping...and everything's cheap. The only catch is you have to "haggle" for everything. By "haggle" I mean barter. If you don't barter well, you'll get ripped off!
Do you know the plastic bag system in Bali??
A guy we met over there filled us in. When you go shopping, if you haggle well, you'll get your goods in a black shopping bag, if you don't haggle well, you'll get a striped or coloured bag. That lets other stall holders know that you're an easy target and will rip you off big time!! We were much wiser after we knew that. As soon as you see your goods going in to a striped bag, you back away from the deal and barter, downwards!!
This pic is from the traditional Balinese Ceremonial dinner they had at our resort. Excellent night, with food, plenty of wine and dancing!!
How red was my hair back then??
Chat soon,
