I know you must be very excited by now i know i am! I wish i was going in 4 days and not 4 weeks but guess that will go quick. I really hope you have a great time as im sure you will. I
think if you take some time out to speak with the balinese even if not buying anything youll find youll have a better holiday and its easier i just find i dont really get hassled. I sometimes even tell them ie while looking to buy watches etc NOT to talk to me while im picking them out or i wont buy them tell them to take a seat until im ready they often think thats pretty amusing. also helpful if you want to buy anything off the beach which you sometimes find is a daunting task to only look at one sellers things then after dealing with her then decide what else you want and just ask.
I love taking my friends to the beach for this sort of initiation trial! But you have to do it at least once even just buy the kids some necklaces if you can bargain on the beach youll cope anywhere.
Just remember if not interested say no thanks and keep walking DONT say later,tomorrow etc as they always remember your name as you will find.
Anyway have a great holiday and say hello to Made for me and hope you find him to be as good as what ive said .Please tell him i cant wait to catch up with him and his family.
Please let us know how things went when you get back! Judi..
