Stormy, not only do the Japanese pay the highest prices, they are also lied to more often.
In Padang Bai this year, a hotel employee told a Japanese tourist that no buses were running between Padang Bai to Denpasar and that she would have to catch a taxi.
Exasperated by this scam, I just had to go to the Perama bus office and buy a ticket for the Japanese tourist.
In the hotel employee's world view, if his brothers/uncles/fathers bus was not running, then no buses were running.
