i met two girls doing massage at a kuta hotel, a friendship started and i decided to take them shopping at mataharis when they finished work. one was shy the other bold, the bold one bought the most expensive jeans, tops and shoes, the shy bought the cheaper, but was very happy. the bold one told me she was single and that she had never married, and was really working on me. the next day the shy girl asked me to meet her husband and kids,i agreed, went by taxi to a slum one street behind mackas on jl. legian. the 4 kids were playing in the rubbish tip, but they were beautiful kids... and none went to school. the eldest, putu 12, had missed out on schooling, but the next 2, yoman and ketut, 5&6 were not going to miss out. i arranged school at jl. kartika plaza,tuban.opp paradiso htl. which they have been attending for two years now ( doing well too)but anyway, the staff at the hotel were a bit alarmed by the bold girls stories, and told me she was married with three kids! and then ifound out a melbourne chap was paying for her accomadation in kerobokan, a 5 bedroomed house which she charged her tennants rent which she pocketed.( about 750000\mth.). i didnt let on to her the information i had recieved, so for the next two weeks she told me every story under the sun, to get cash out of me. on the last day i gave the two girls an envelope....the bold ones was empty..... the shy girl recieved the total x2 of the amount the bold one needed to fix all her woes. on the next trip i made to bali, which was only 3 mths later, i found the shy one had taken the other girl job over ,as boss.... the other sacked for having her fingers in the till.........The best way is to pay direct to the school, doctor etc. and if it sound like crap,it probably is. keep your mind open, and ask their friends questions...you could be giving your money to the enemy and not your friend..... and if they get a bit snakey or upset, let them go... they can be very jelous and moody....good luck
