In Reply to: First Visit Any advise welcomed posted by OAP on Saturday, 3. December 2005 at 22:58 Bali Time:
Don't overpack.
Don't cut holiday short, it takes several days for some to unwind.
Don't touch children on the head.
Don't point.
Don't tackle shopping with fury, enjoy the haggle and keep a smile.
Don't use moneychangers that are in little shops, laneways etc.
Don't fall asleep on beach (bad news).
Don't get sucked into scratches where you always win (time share)
Don't except phone calls from people saying you've won a holiday etc.
Do visit Waterbom (great for all ages).
Do have a massage, even if just from beach ladies.
Do give that little extra as a small tip.
Do take your own shampoo, if fussy with hair products.
Do drink plenty of water and protect face with suncream.
Do do a few touristy things, like maybe a bike ride, elephant or bird park,etc.. this is good if you haven't been before.
Do take your old clothes, nail polishes etc. and give away.
Do have fun..and have a Bintang for me..
