In Reply to: Is Bali as terrifying as Filo suggests? posted by scaredycat on Friday, 22. June 2007 at 21:03 Bali Time:
think that but it's all good. That gave me a bit of a chuckle actually as hearing about certain things could tend to make you panic. I've travelled there quite a few times by myself now and then more than ever you worry about getting ripped off. You can guarantee that you will meet a guy called something like Tom Cruise that can take you to his cousin's shop where you get very good price, and you'll go there and pay way to much for a sarong and a fake gucci bag! But that's all part of the fun and soon you will be saying "Tidak" (no) along with the best of us. The first day can be a bit of a culture shock but just go with the flow and all will be fine. Just say no politely and firmly to anything you don't want and keep moving. And most of all, have fun!
Cheers
