(The fifth, Depok, West Java, Indonesia, August 7, 2014, 22:15 pm)

One of the my experience cover various events are seminars covering the world energy conference in the city of Madrid.

I covered it with a journalist of Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) Parembahan Ahmad who had served in the Ministry of Mines and Energy Minister during Prof.Dr, Ginandjar Kartasasmita and also ever did to cover  at the State Palace President Suharto era.

I boarded the plane from Jakarta Garuda Indonesia via the Netherlands Amesterdam, and changing planes Iberia to Madrid.

From Indonesia Indonesian delegation led Dr.Zuhal, at that time Director of the State Electricity Company (PLN) and the expert staff Ginandjar Kartasasmita Ermansyah  Yamin and some other staff.

I arrived in Madrid and Ahmad Parembahan staying in separate hotel with a group of Indonesian officials, because the World Energy Conference was attended by thousands of participants and the Minister of Petroleum Exporting Countries and the world energy expert then most hotels in the city of Madrid is full filled the conference, so I and Ahmad Parembahan sleep at a more modest hotel. The conference opened the King of Spain who was accompanied by the queen

Ginandjar Kartasasmita

The first day and second day of the conference we were busy covering the activities of the conference,

But in the afternoon after returning from my conference location and Ahmad Parembahan before going up to the eighth floor of our hotel room, we were intrigued by the Night Club which is located at the Ground Floor Hotel.

After thinking for a moment, and we were a little hesitant step into the night club. Until we offered in the wine and other alcoholic beverages, because we were Muslim and Ahmad Parembahan've been on a pilgrimage again rejected the offer, except for two small cups containing soda (Coke).

A few seconds later be dating two women accompanied us to sit together, I was accompanied by a beautiful woman ethnic spanish blond, while the Spanish women accompanied Parembahan Ahmad said ethnic origin Moroccan (arabic).

It appears these two women continue to seduce us. I can only remembrance that is not possessed by the devil lust. In order not already lost in temptation that I pull out the Night Club was Ahmad, after paying two glasses of soda in the Cashier.

Prof Dr Zuhal

New to the Night Club near the exit there are four large high muscular body Guard ready to pounce on us both.

'' Please solve the financial problems at the cashier, '' the security official said, in English accent Spanish.

'' We had come to the cashier. Here the bill, said the woman at the cashier, how shocked we are having to pay $ 6,000 US Dollar. With each one we had to spend money from our wallets each U $ 3,000 dollars, but that kind of money we had brought from Jakarta for various purposes during the conference.

Radius Prawiro and Ermansyah Yamin

Apparently the cashier explained that the two women as had been chartered (all in) can also be brought back to the room. But because we still remember the great sin that until we commit adultery, where Ahmad had twice the pilgrimage again, then we paid only $ 6,000 Exchange for two women without us touch it.

So for Indonesian journalists or tourists to  other Indonesia  days and hearts that want just a drink but entered the night club (nihgt Club), also in other countries.
