FROM THE EDITOR:
 After
an overwhelming response on
the
Blok W idea, I have not much choice then to go ahead with it.
To make it attractive for both Indonesian and Bule females, I am
currently looking for two or three more Western male models, that are
willing to do a show on their own risk. Please send a picture and data
that you think is useful for the selection. The BuGils staff will make
the selection. You may also consider a 'walk
in interview' and ask for marketing
assistant Heny (On the picture above with new
staff member Jenny).

with the Blok W idea.
While I am trying to reverse Blok M, another guy is
also creating an uproar with a service he wants to offer. I
don't know the sender, but if anybody is making use of his services,
please inform us on the results! His letter below:
Good morning, Bartele!
I enjoy reading your column, great job.
New service on offer (I hope you can mention this in your weekly
news letter):
Find out if your Indonesian girlfriend/fiance/wife is cheating on you!
I am a 33 year old European expat in Jakarta and i had an interesting
experience recently. A friend of mine who lives in the USA wanted me
to make sure that his Indonesian fiancée in Jakarta was being faithful
to him. So...he gave me her photo and information of where she would
be on a Friday night (a bar on sudirman), i went along. I then met her
'by accident' and we chatted and had a few drinks together. To cut a
long story short she said that she she was single and was quite
willing to join me for a weekend in Bali when i offered. I passed on
the information to my friend in the USA and he confronted his fiancée,
who was very remorseful and promised to be a good girl in the future!
Because, i found the whole experience
interesting, I am now offering a FREE service to other expats who may
be worried or wondering if their girlfriends/fiancées/wives are being
unfaithful. Could you mention this on your weekly news letter by
posting this and my email:
jonts2002@hotmail.com Best
