At eight the next morning, Budi tickled Greg’s nose with a feather. “This is your wake up call, my handsome bule.”

“Eight already?” Greg yawned. “How long have you been awake, Budi?”

“About an hour. I read the paper and made coffee so you can have a cup before your shower. I’m starved and ready for the delicious hotel breakfast buffet.”

“Maybe you should go ahead and start breakfast without me,” Greg suggested. “It’ll take me a half hour to shower, shave, and dress.”

“I’ll help,” Budi offered softly. “I can make sure your private places are very clean!”

Greg chuckled. “A sex maniac, even this early in the day?”

“It’s one of the things you’ll come to love about me,” Budi promised Greg. “I’m always ready when you are.”

Rolling over to face Budi, Greg admitted he enjoyed seeing the smiling, eager face. While Greg hustled through his morning routine, Budi took Rial shopping at the hotel clothing store. Budi returned wearing a shiny silver silk shirt open to the navel, tight black Lycra shorts, and black running shoes. Rial was similarly dressed in white and green.

“You guys look good enough to play in the World Cup,” Greg complimented them.

“Kuta Sands has a sporty clothing store and we charged it all to the room,” Budi informed Greg.

“You’d better be joking,” Greg scowled.

“Budi pay,” Rial confessed. “He say we must look good. Not embarrass Greg when meet uncle.”

Greg bowed his head, grinning. “Very thoughtful, Budi. I appreciate the gesture. So, you guys ready for breakfast?”

As they headed for the Kuta Sands breakfast buffet, Budi asked Greg, “You really think we look great? Like football players, and not like moneyboys?”

“You look outstanding. Of course, I have no taste, so what do I know?”

“Excellent point,” Budi mumbled.”

“Started to watch a Barong Dance on TV while I was waiting for you, but I couldn’t follow the story. There seemed to be frequent role and gender changes. Nobody was who they first appeared to be. Many things went unspoken. Very convoluted!”

“You followed it perfectly!” Budi snickered. “Many people say the Barong Dance is a metaphor for Indonesian life. It represents the struggle of good versus evil, but there are many sub-themes. You nailed it, Greg!”

“Once we find my uncle, I’d like to see more of the native culture, Budi. Take some trips to see how people live away from the tourist areas.”

“I know exactly where to take you. There’s a village where people bathe in the river, grow their own food, and make exotic fabrics for export. I buy flowers from the farmers there.”

“Sounds perfect. Is there a Kuta Sands Hotel nearby?”

“Ha! We’ll be sleeping on blankets under the stars, Greg!”
