there are lots of things you shouldn't do,starting with taking any advice from Clovis.
The reason you're on this forum is to 'pick the brains' of past travellers and put your best foot forward when you go.
Hopefully this will be a fantastic 1st time experience in Bali for you (maybe the 1st of many) and the more you consult the 'do's and don'ts' list and the 'Bali bible' the less likely you'll encounter 1st timer problems.
Definitely have a game plan of everything you want to see and do but don't forget also that the ball won't bounce the way you expect sometimes so be prepared for the odd mishap.
Oh! and don't drink the water.
