When the police (the law enforcers) stop asking for and taking mine and everyone elses money? When the guy's at the airport stop handing back passports and asking how much you have, to pay your excess and then they pocket it and when Indonesia as a whole cleans its act up, I like everyone else will abide .
And be aware when driving on certain roads, make sure you stay in the left hand lane because Mr Polisi always wait in the right lane and pull you up and you pay him, even if you are abiding by the road rules.
I do what is asked of me, I follow them, its their country.
We all know corruption is rife in Indonesia and if that makes me a criminal, well there's a lot of Aussies in Hotel K, guess I won't get lonely and if I have the cash my life in this place wouldn't be that bad, but I need to have the cash!
Cheers
