candles for my PERSONAL use, we have a small cafe here in the country and Ive bought some little candleabras that I put on the tables at night, so the candles are for those, NOT that anyone comes from this one horse town that I live in, but I still do it, mainly for myself I think, it just looks soooo pretty.
I did buy DVDs but as usual I preorder via email to Helgi about 300 and he is ALWAYS there the day after we arrive, with them all bundled up and with his dvd player, which he always lends me for the duration of my holiday, no payment just gratis, such a good boy and really professional, although Im hearing some adverse things about him at the moment and all I can say is, he's opened his little shop in Jl Wana Segara McShop its called, very cute, has very tidy dvd shelves AND a drinks fridge and candy and biscuit stand, think Ive died and gone to heaven!!!!!
So the negative feedback may be coming from the fact that he is just soooooo busy running the shop and trying to fill his increasing orders, all together. Give him a break everyone, its the tall poppy syndrome, dont try to cut him down, just because hes having a go and maybe overextending himself. He's balinese.....remember? And a very enterprising one, which is what I love about him.
Not alot of tourists at all I reckon, the streets were very quiet especially at night, and unfortunately alot of the restaurants were very very empty.
But you will still have a fab time.
