Not much of note today, besides Erin and I almost being attacked by a bat on our walk home--the little guy would not stop flying towards our heads! Erin bravely defended us by swinging her Total bag around and around--priceless.
I also tried a new food for lunch: Gulai Ayam. Delicious, but a lot of work getting the scrawny chicken meat off the bone!
And, new resolution: say what you think. Case in point: when inquiring about booking a tour in Borneo, I found the same hotel they wanted to give us has a promo with Air Asia--buy two nights, get the third free. I told them, they reduced the price, and it looks like we will book on our own! I as thinking if I could play around it to try to get them to go lower, but I just told them the situation, and it looks like it will work out.
Same deal with the Krakatau tour last weekend: I would email one tour operator and say, hey, your competitor just quoted me this--can you beat it? And Thommy said he could, so he got the job. One and done. These are bargaining examples, but should extend to real life, right? Just say what's on your mind, and perhaps you can work something out!
