I am of the same ilk and that is one of my phrases (spread my money around) to the core. Every single posting, every single request of 'where to shop' turns up mutiple replies of 'ketut's shop'. I have known Ketut for years and if I do pay a visit to say hi even she knows I like to share. The other stallholders in the area are aware of 'the aura' that Ketut has due to the over recommending by many travellers and they are so so pleased to get business, and they are so fair on their prices. If 'we' all were of the understanding to share the Rupiahs around then perhaps the Balinese, who I regard now as being very money hungry, may not attempt to rip so many people off to earn a subsistence., !!!!!! Well said JulesJules
