My second day in bali, shopping in kuta, Didnt really know that if you look and dont buy it sort of affends them and i was looking at a belt and walked away the dude sort of grabbed me around the hips and pulled me back, i had shopping in my hands so i couldnt do much but i managed to scramble away from him. As others have said dont let them come near you for that reason.
