This is true! As we were driving to the airport, we were stopped by police. The police took my driver's license and told me that if I gave him $100, he would not give me a ticket. If I did not give him the money, he was going to keep my driver's license.

The Police scam you mention seems to go on in Bali too. If they see a local driving tourists the attitude seems to be, stop'em and share some of that tourist money with us too! Nice page!

You seem to have enjoyed your time here! I was surprised at how much I liked the place, despite expecting 'downtown' North American tourist spot!!
