Shop lacks new stock<\/p>\n
A group of us who regularly prowl through the dark, funky
\natmosphere of the Bumi Ayu Duty Free Shop in Kemang, are
\nincreasingly bewildered at the store's inability to obtain their
\nnew stock. While the brightly lit market next door seems to have
\nnew stock arriving daily, Bumi Ayu's container, having arrived
\nlast November, is, despite all necessary payments, not being
\nreleased by Department of Trade and the customs clearing agents
\nPT Cipta Niaga. It is interesting to speculate what it is that
\nthey have to do that would take eight months -- or is it that
\n\"certain people\" want the store to quietly strangle to death?<\/p>\n
There is always the quality of a treasure hunt when shopping
\nat Bumi Ayu which has traded glitz for good prices and variety
\nfor quality. Those of us who are wine lovers like to take our
\ntime savoring the smells and peering myopically at labels
\nimagining the taste of the first mouthful. At the moment the
\nstore is almost empty and the staff looking very glum indeed.
\nWhat does one have to do to shake up the boys in the bureaucracy?<\/p>\n
Recently, a few of us were at Bumi Ayu looking for some
\n\"Chataux Cardboard\" -- the load of Lindemans is amongst the stock
\non the docks -- for a forthcoming party when a couple of women
\nentered. It was clear they hadn't been there before. After
\nwalking around one said \"the prices are much better here, but
\nwhere is the wine?\" Exactly.<\/p>\n
