The moral high ground must be kinda lonely with just some ex-oil workers and Desmond Tutu around for laughs?

I'd respond with a snappy answer but my thirty two kids are here demanding allowances...later huh?

Markit. I'm pretty sure Walter Spies drowned locked up in a ship that was sunk with many other prisoners. His alleged crime having sexual relations with young Balinese boys. The chap who had the keys to his cell said that he did not have the authority to release the prisoners as the ship was sinking. I believe all other passengers and crew survived. Got that from a book called 'a short history of Bali.'

You are absolutely right Mat. In this day and age I have no excuse for getting this wrong except advanced stupidity and not looking the wiki entry up first.
I like your ending better anyway. As stupidity goes that's a pretty stupid way for a man to go out.

...aye ... that one gets the 'Sonny Bono' award from me...

Anyone Bule want’s to tell me I am wrong on this then I say I agree to disagree.
I will not attempt to tell you that you are wrong. There are times I shake my head in disbelief. I am 61 with a head that resembles the rear end of a goat. Last evening a cute little 19 year old waitress asked me if I was interested in having an affair with her. Of course this deal included a certain sum of money.
I had to let her down and tell her about the love triangle that currently includes myself, Rangi and Markit.

JW thanks for the perspective and info from your "research activities". I for one would be happy for more, me being that "typical" faithgull(ible) Bule I've not had your experiences...yet!

Maybe the Balinese have got it right JW? Honesty and openness in their relationships while still recognising that variation is the spice of life. 50% divorce rate in Australia - how much here?
Just my (and our) view forum goers.
Cheers all
I have had my eyes opened so much recently during my research activities. Anyone that thinks all these KTV, massage places are just for the tourists is stupid. Majority don’t even have English speaking people and some big ones are very much Indo only like the A-Club.
The Indonesian men, who all get married, use these places for tension relief whenever they want. It is normal and part of the real culture of Bali. On top of that many do have the sex partners and girlfriends and it is a taboo don’t taik about thing. As a man in Indonesia it is very acceptable if you don’t mention it. Wives stay at home or get a boyfriend if you want.

Indonesian girls like Bules because they believe they will be faithful. They have man with one woman. They will probably cheat but he won’t. If she get an Indonesian man it is normal for him to have sex with other women.

That’s ok, it is all a matter of opinion and it’s good the world is full of diversity, otherwise it would be very boring.

That could be exciting for some people.

Bet she already has a boyfriend as well, but she may not tell you that. You could always share the cost with Rangi and Markit.

I could introduce your wife to some nice guys from Java and then you could have the excuse to do some research.
How long you lived in Asia jay dubya ?.
Who is jay dubya? If you mean me then just under 2.5 years in Bali, been visiting Asia for years before. Married to an asian and been friends with lots for 16 years.

There are other activities in many of them you may enjoy. Don’t go to Happy Puppy.
