Pembantu

Christophe

I'll be back in Bali in a few weeks, and would appreciate some advice about where and how to hire pembantu. My house is in Umalas. Thanks, Christophe

Pembantu rules: 1) Always hire your pembantu from the village you live in. 2) As a male, (especially if single), always hire a married girl, or if she’s single, make sure she is either very fat, ugly, or preferably, both. 3) Always pay her on time, and for the agreed monthly amount. 4) Be prepared to wash your own underwear. 5) Find your “girl” pembantu by paying a visit to the head of your village. Lastly, and most important...never, ever, ever, get too close to your pembantu. Likely it is I could write a small guide concerning this topic, based not only on my own, rather painful, sometimes embarrassing, :oops: but always hilarious experiences, but incorporating those of many others who have shared their stories.

[quote]marrying your pembantu? [/quote] I think it's all about love :lol: :lol: :lol: I have some friends married with their "pembantu" but a few days after married, they ran to their country.. guess what? Most of my friends have their own wife (their not divorce yet!!!) :evil: :evil: :evil:

My Pembantu is gay. She is now looking for "obat" to get hair on her arms. She takes her girlfriend to her job everyday. This girlfriend (likes boys too) helps her, and comes for free. Well, we helped her with curing the "effects" of local style abortion a year ago....

More on Pembantus Just sitting here, playing chess with my computer, and getting the “you know what” kicked out of me, it suddenly dawned on me…glory be, I have three great friends that married their pembantus! Now, what is that all about? Or, more to the issue, what do you do about a replacement pembantu once you’ve married your first one? Likely the wife, or ex-pembantu #1 will not be high on hiring a sinuous young lady of great beauty to be pembantu #2, eh? Pembantu competition for the Lord of the manor is not pretty. And, what a suck job for pembantu #2, working in the house where the “lady” now was formally pembantu #1. I mean, you know the new wife, (formally Pembantu #1) is going to make pembantu #2’s life so miserable, she won’t last a week! I can only imagine all the laundry pilling up, the house looking horrible, but marital bliss with pembantu #1? Hmmm, I have a Dutch friend, no, not Bert, who has three pembantus. He’s about to marry one of them (good choice in my opinion) but I need to ask him…”do you think the other two will stay on the job?” If you think about it, this issue is really complex. Good pembantus are hard to find. Once married, I doubt they will ever clean, wash clothes, scrub floors, cook, or allow another pembantu in sight! Sorry ladies if I seem sexist, but the facts here are the facts. Finding a great Balinese lady is not easy for those hell bent on this course, but marrying your pembantu?
