Cast off the motherly shackles and strike a blow for freedom.
Also cast off the Melbourne evening clothing.
Any restaurant that has servile effeminate guys pushing chairs under your bum every time you get up or sit down is to be avoided.
Likewise with the same fellow wanting to put your napkin over your nether regions every time you cast it off.
They clearly believe that you are incapable of moving a chair or napkin yourself.
Also, avoid those places that have just the single digit numbers for pricing in the menu.
There are noughts missing that will not be missing when the ++ bill comes !
Tell mum that you are going for an upmarket manicure, pedicure, ear candle and fish spa, and sneak down to the beach in Kuta/Legian.
This is the most likely place where you may experience some waves of nostalgia from your past visits (along with other waves)
The old beach bars are long gone, but there is still a small pocket of resistance on the beach just north of Double 6, but be quick because the executioners axe is hovering.
As long as you are constrained by your mothers desire to molly coddle you, you will be immersed in Ku De Ta, Living Room, Ultimos and waiters overly attentive towards your nether regions.
Find a substitute for the sexually confused gardener and strike a blow for freedom and those vestiges of a simpler Bali of days gone by.
They do still exist you know.
