As soon as I arrive in bali, I forget all other places in the world exist. I have never felt unsafe in 26 trips in any way or form.
The sellers are only annoying if you allow them to be, smile or ignore them completley if you don't want to be bothered by them.
Don't look at or talk to them and they leave you alone.
When you do want to talk to them or buy something, smile be polite and firm in what you want to pay and enjoy the time and them and you will find it a pleasure to do so>
Feeling safe in numbers!! In Australia maybe. There is no need to feel this way in Bali.
