The hassling, the constant taksi beeping, the hassling, being considered a walking ATM, the hassling, the traffic. I used to endure it all, usually with a smile.
Those days have gone. The coastal strip of Bali has become a nightmare.
Having recently been elsewhere in SE Asia I don't think I'll put up with the above irritations that are an intrinsic part of the Tuban - Seminyak part of Bali (also Ubud) in Bali again.
Sure the shopping, pampering & food are (usually) great but the aggro & stress involved in getting to do the good stuff!! REALLY need a good relaxing massage after having to get through the traffic, aggressive shop keepers etc. And, all refreshed & relaxed, it's back out into it.
