Bali (Part 3) - DoubleSix & "Extra Service"?

As I was going thru my usual morning ritual (reading blogs), I came across something rather disturbing.  I didn't know they have surgery to slit the corners of your eyes to make them look bigger and longer.  All these while, I thought there is to eye surgeries are just double eyelids, eye bag removal, lifting of droopy eyes.  Gosh...  I told a friend after that... "Thank God we are born pretty... at least there is no NEED to spend for such corrective surgeries.  We only need to spend on extras like clothes, shoes & make ups."...lols... Seriously... the extend one would go.

Back to Bali.  Freshened up after dinner and off we went, down to 'DoubleSix', the most happening club in Bali to meet up with a girlfriend of mine who were coincidentally also there in Bali too for a wedding.  Terri was rather reluctant to go but I dragged her along.  We, after all, had had a long day.  I was tired too.  But thought, what's the possibility of meeting another friend in Bali?  And good ones too.  If not now, when will we have the opportunity to check out DoubleSix?
'DoubleSix', though most talkabout, it was the crappiest club for us.  Just not our kind of club - techno, yucks!  We left about 30 minutes later.  We were both trying so hard not to doze off... lols... crap!  No more DoubleSix or double whatever... total crap! :p
Note: For those of you fancy 'techno', DoubleSix is situated in Legian/Seminyak area.  It opens at 12midnight and charge a cover charge of IDR150,000/person for entrance which include 1 drink.  And when you have mustered enough courage from the intoxication, you can have a go at their bungee jump.  IDR500,000/jump for Asians and IDR1,000,000/jump for angmohs. :p

Getting a taxi back to our hotel alone was a big feat.  Full of dramas.  Not only were the fares exorbitantly high, it was a nerve wrecking experience too.  Lols...  We were so relieved when we finally got back to our hotel safe & sound.  Phew!

Outside the club, we were surrounded by taxi drivers offering their prices. When we finally settled for a price, the driver led us to his taxi.  We got a shock of our life cause it was not a taxi at all.  It was a black MPV with black tinted windows.  A typical serial rapist/killer set up.  I tell you... so scary lor...  We automatically grabbed each other's hand and went 'No.. no.. no..' and fled.  

Found another taxi soon enough after that, a real taxi, settled for a price, hopped on, and off we went.  We were both so relieved.  Half way thru, the cab driver went... "You like dancing?? Want to go local clubs?".  We were like... "Ermm.. no, no.  Hotel.".  Another minute passed as he was driving thru some dark alleys, he asked again... "You want EXTRA services??".  And I thought I heard wrongly.  One look at Terri confirmed she heard exactly what I thought I heard.  Cause we were both staring at each other, at the back of the taxi, jaw dropped.  WTF?!?  Lols....  This time round, we answered simultaneously, loud and clear..."No.. no.. no... no... we want to go back to hotel!!!".  

When we relate this incident to our driver the next day, he had a good laugh.  He said, maybe the taxi driver wanted the 'extra service' and we both gagged.  Ewwww..... :p  Hahahahaha...

What a scary experience! Thank goodness both of you reached your hotel safe and sound. So I guess the taxi driver moonlights as a gigolo to earn more.
