Having read Morganna's JBR further down. It reminded me of many others recounting first encounters with the street sellers etc. it set me thinking.

Now, leaving out the 18-30s heading to the Bounty etc for party party party because they are usually in a group or soon will be and are pretty much bullet proof, I'm wondering whether Kuta is a great 1st time destination.

Maybe it's better to ease your way into it for all or the first part of your trip in North Legian/Seminyak/Kerobokan. Sanur or Ubud. That way you get chance to fall in love with Bali before you encounter the Kuta experience!! Baby steps!!!

Alternatively allow half a day to be spent curled up in your room with your thumb in your mouth under a heap of unwanted purchases or worse still watching a "presentation" at a time share hotel.
