I paid 30,000 rupiah per massage. Last day I gave her a good tip. Sue has 2 adult kids, 1 boy 21, 1 girl 23 ish. She asked me to bring any spare clothes next time as they sew really well & can cut back to size. Any tea, coffee, washing powder etc you have left over is well appreciated. Her girl has a job but the boy cannot get work. It sounds like her husband is a bit of a gambler so Sue pays most of her earnings straight to a lady who comes to the beach each day from the bank. She is saving for a wedding ceremony & dowry for her daughters wedding. ( aprox 17,000,000) Not much to us but heaps for her. Have a good trip !!!
