I parked my car at seminyak square at 9.. Had dinner across the road till 10.. Jumped on my friends car to go kudeta till 11 (my friemd parked at seminyak square for dinner and drove us to kudeta and back to the parking lot).. Anyway as i was exiting the parking lot securoty guy told me to slow down and asked for parking money.. Igave him 2k n he said to me something like "we're not statues here" in a not too friendly tone...
Have i done something wrong or offended him somehow? Im pretty shocked coz i thought all balinese were all smiles lol
They are on the surface![]()

Probably pissed off that you went to dinner and then kudeta, and came back happy, whilst he was left there standing around and being bored and probably hungry!!!! next time bring him some macca's![]()
I have just learnt that pleasing everyone is impossible. But, pissing them off is a piece of cake
what time is seminyak square closed?
Maybe increase it to 5k :)
I don't think that's a public parking where you can leave your car and go around the city. If you park at Seminyak Square, you're supposed to shop and eat at their facilities.
I had the same somewhere else.
Yea and what ever you do dont park your bike at kfc jimbaren and leave to go somewhere else. . Know a girl who left her bike there and come back to find security had puntured her tyres .. .
mmmmmmmmmm , sounds like initially ignored , then asked to slow down , then asked to pay for the parking of a car that was left there unattended while you went somewhere else . Im wondering ? ..., were you " all smiles" yourself , towards them when you arrived back to your undamaged car ?
Theres no law that says you have to be nice and cheerfull , but their job is a very low paid and boring one , and having people be nice towards them would make it somewhat more plesant .
It feels good to be really nice to people like that ......, and it doesnt hurt to wave , and bid them a " salamat malam Pak " with a smile , and a terima kasih when you give them the parking money , to let them know their job had some purpose![]()
