Last April I took a couple of used mobiles to Bali.
I especially wanted to give our long time friend one as the other old one I had given her before didn't work properly anymore.
Well some one else got the best one and the other didn't work, I was so angry that my special friend didn't get the good one.
In the end I bought one from outside Bintang Supermarket for her, cost approx $60aud.
I then had to explain to her what I had done, as she is a very proud person and doesn't like to accept charity, well she ended up being so excited it was wonderful.
I think some times the females in Bali don't get much for themselves, like most mothers worldwide I suppose, they give to the family first.
while they like perfume, makeup etc, to have you own hp (mobile) is extra special.
sorry for the ramble, just my feelings
