There was a thread a few days ago about timeshare in Bali. Prompts me to post this.

On my last visit I got to chat with some young locals just outside my hotel, as you do. In the course of the discussion they asked me my name, as you do. When I replied, they asked me whether that was my first name or family name. Fair enough question. When I told them that it was my first name, they asked me what my family name was. Fair enough question.

Within a couple of days I had 3 phone calls in my hotel room, from 3 different resorts, asking me about the survey I/my wife/my travelling companion had completed!!!

I must say that I was not angry about this. Rather, I was amused and gave credit to the guys for being enterprising. I just told the phone callers that I had not completed any survey, nor had anyone else on my behalf because I was travelling alone, and that there was just some sort of mistake. I didn't tell them that I could work out how and why they were ringing me!

That's Bali!!
