Im not being mean Cavalier. The thing that really gets me about people who debate prices on this forum is this. 50 000 is five dollars or there about. I assume you are Australian. What can we buy for $5. Nothing. I feel embarrased and ashamed when I hear people quibbling over a dollar or two. Massage is hard work. Even if it's not what you expected for five dollars that's not going to break you. You are on holiday, you've bought a plane ticket and probably staying at a nice hotel. I've been going to Bali for the last ten or so years. It makes me sad that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer so it just hit a raw nerve for me. I find tourists always seeking the cheapest deal, the biggest plate of food blah blah blah sickening.
Please go, pay the five bucks and feel great about that fact you employed someone, fed their family and slip your therapist an extra five before she leaves the cubicle. That will really make her day.
I'm not mean, I'm kind, generous and caring.
