one characteristic of MOST balinese (wont saying all balinese), is how they're able to give a good service, not to receive. To these kind of balinese, just behave that you're one of their family. Let'em treat you as they can do (in a positive manner). When you're giving something, find a good moment and reason. Well, it might be a bit confusing, but it will release their embarresement.
