I was just a bit ticked off with the whole thing that most people feel we should get something for nothing.. we get lots from the balinese for free , their warmth, welcome approach on life and of course their smile under pressures from what life may thrown at them. I don't ask for freebies myself, many do and many brag about how much they have got. Bargining is fine if the shop seller wants to lose money to get money or a sale well thats up to them. But if we are all fair in what we do and buy over there "Karma" will follow.
Sorry but for someone like Helgi that goes out of his way to help a sale and a good thing for us he shouldn't be taken advantage of... which you didn't, haven't or will i know.. the general DVD seller is hard pressed to make a buck and i think we all know it.
Thank you my freind for responding and maybe one day ours paths will cross in Bali i hope.
April this year i am there also Sept if work is kind to me.
