I have been living in Bali for most of the past 6 years. Tonight I caught a taxi (not my usual choice of Blue Bird). The driver did not turn on the meter. I asked him to turn it on. He said "there is macet (traffic jam) you better get out. There was very little traffic & he had nowhere else he could go. He complained all the way & the trip took about 10 minutes. He WAS Balinese. They are becoming greedy & ruthless. The young men aged from 17 to about 25 have little recollection of the effects of the bombings.They are little more than thieves & opportunists.
