In the five days of touring it only happened on one day, but three times on that day. I am not confused by the parking stuff -- that happens too but that's different. Our driver spoke pretty good English and we discussed the situation -- out of range of the police. Do not assume that we were confused -- I had learned enought Indonesian to buy medicine myself at a pharmacy, and in any case the driver and I discussed what had happened immediately after. Frankly, 5,000 rupiah is not a lot of money. But to think police corruption does not happen on Bali is naive.
