RE: -Alberto - you are correct.I've been scammed in Canada to be sure. It's just that in Indonesia I came to feel like a wad of cash with legs. I've been a lot of places on this planet and fully expect that people will try to sell me over-priced goods and services, as a tourist or traveller. But Indonesia was uniquely over-the -top. To recount one particulary absurd event, no word of a lie, I recall pulling up to a restaurant in a taxi, for which I had paid to much, and the door was torn open by a throng (10 or more) of other taxi drivers who asked me if I required a taxi! This was on Bali, by the way. There was nowhere I could go, other than the seclusion of the 5 star hotel where I stayed for a few days (which had its own beach in a cove at the base of a cliff which made it inaccessable to anyone but guests), where there wasn't someone in my face trying to sell me something. Lombok was even worse. Beware of a Mataram travel agent named Abdul Rahim. Beware of Lombok kids selling things. They could sell you the Brooklyn Bridge in your choice of 8 languages.
