Its not up to you to tell me or others what we should pay. If someone chooses to pay that amount then it's worth that to them. It's people like you that rip people off and expect them to slave over them that makes porters or people in general feel used and abused. Two porters helping me with 8 bags and elderly parents and children is worth 20 dollars and that's that. Ten dollars each big deal If its not worth that to you then that's fine. I wouldn't tell you I thought you were a tight a&se for paying five dollars. Everyone who goes to Bali knows its all about a barter and anything goes. This is about basic respect and equality.
