I was just browsing the forum and read this post. I then read the archives on Melody and had the best time as it was a real blast from the past. We met Melody years ago. She was unbelievably friendly, food great, so helpful. We recommended her to everyone. She also told us repeatedly that her husband was the "Lord Mayor of Bali".
Over the next few visits the facade started to slip. The food went off and the Lord Mayor would be happily eating bananas on his haunches out the back. We also went on one of her shopping tours and it was a complete waste of time.
I found with Melody that she was extremely overwhelming and sort of dragged you in if you know aht I mean. Very uncomfortable.
I think I would prefer to deal with someone where a desk is between you, business is business and they don't try to make a friend out of you.
