I gave our Balinese friend 50,000 idr and was so surprised at his appreciation. Had I realised how much he appreciated it, I would have given more and wish I had. After all, it was only $5 AUS, nothing really to us, so much to them. Unlike the taxi driver who demanded a bigger tip, rude bugger, so he got what he deserved, nothing.
