Balijo,
You seem to take it upon yourself to judge people prematurely. I too have had a long association with Indonesia. The price of a massage does not concern me at all my wife is a anak kraton and she is the best masseur in the world. I could have used the price of sunglasses, paintings or the price some tourists will fork out in chartering a yacht in my post to make my point. I am only trying to come with grips with the changes occurring in Bali and Indonesia. I strongly feel the ignorant tourist will create such a problem in Bali in the future that every man and his dog from the other islands will swarm to Bali (as they once did to Jakarta) to seek their fortune. Balijo, Indonesia is on the brink of a major economic crisis. We have not seen the worst of it. The situation there concerns me and other economics terribly.
I do not need to massage myself, I believe however you may have a hand on yourself.
