Well I went there for a week last year before all this stuff started and it was ok except for the local police who wanted to suplement their paycheck by holding me at a road block for 20 minutes, but there was no way i was going to pay them a rupiah even after they threatened me with fines. I wasnt wearing a lid whilst rideing a moped without a international licence but then agian so was everybody else and i realy have to learn how to ride a moped 4up.
Well there i was on one of my frequent buying outings looking for a can of coke when a local comes up to me as they do when you are out and about on your own trying to sell me some pot which is not so suprising after you have been there a few days as they will sell me bretts mum and nana for 20 rupiah.
I didnt find out how much he wanted for the hooch because he pulled it out in broad daylight on the main street and it looked like the real thing to me.
Was she stiched up .....well most likely because theres no point bringing your own if your that way inclined, would i go there again well probably but not right now and its a real eye opener for the first timers but watch you gear real closely.
the locals also tried to sell me speed,cocain, heroin, their sister, bretts mum, their sister and anything else that wasnt bolted down that possibly could have been of value.
