In Reply to: Rex, youre story reminds me posted by Fiona on Friday, 14. January 2005 at 13:57 Bali Time:
The first time it happened, the girl asked me if I wanted a something [word I didn't understand] massage. I don't have massages so I said, "No thanks". She repeated her offer, stressing the word I didn't understand. I said,"I don't want a massage thanks". In desperation she asked me if I wanted a ****. It was all I could do to stop from laughing, but I didn't want to hurt her feelings.
When the next one came along, at least I knew what she was selling. When I said, "No thanks" she came back with, "But I have to make a payment on my motorbike", [as if that's my problem]. I suppose every efficient sales person needs a good come-back line. Then a girl I knew in a nearby shop told me that the one I'd just declined got 20 men a night. I thought with that kind of money she could be making the payments on a Mercedes!
My son is 44 and has a young looking, pretty Balinese wife 12 years younger. I'm 70, but I neither feel it nor act it. My lady friend is 54, but looks much younger. Emiko is Japanese, but not typically Japanese in appearance, in fact even some Balinese people think she is Indonesian. Maybe some people think, "Look at those two guys with the young Indonesian chicks". Who knows?
