but fortunately I was very wary and quite agressive and we were not cheated. I had my nails painted on the beach,bought sarongs and offered to sell my exotic HK$12 watch to the hawker for US$20.We bought sandals, some silver earrings,Bad Face boardies in Jalan Padma are apparantly excellent value. I think bank notes are easier than ATM, we had about 1km to walk to the ATM, but I believe in Kuta there are plenty.I sewed 2 small bags just big enough to take the cards and folded banknotes,pinned them with a couple of safety pins insde the top of my shorts.Have to be a big roll to get them there.Had a great time.
