| Do
and Don't
DO
-
shop around when changing money as rates
can vary !
-
put on loads of High Factor Suncream
(especially if you intend to spend a lot of time in the water).
-
drink a lot of water (bottled only !)
and eat a lot of fresh fruit - do your body a favour.
-
be careful with your belongings at all
times. Crime is rare but it can ruin your holiday. Some cases of handbag-snatching
have been reported, so leave important documents in your hotel safe, or
wear your bag across your shoulders !
-
try not to step on offerings in the
street (walk around them).
-
respect the slow pace of processions
when stuck behind one, i.e. don't honk !
-
haggle when buying (except on price-tagged
goods).
DON'T
-
swim outside designated swimming areas
on the beach, currents can be very strong.
-
do drugs
! - it can carry the death penalty and there are enough foreigners residing
in Bali courtesy of the government prison service !
-
touch people's heads - this is very
offensive to Hindus.
-
enter a temple during menstruation.
Sorry Ladies !
-
forget to put salt on your food - you
will probably sweat a lot.
-
worry about the ice - it's government
quality controlled in established bars & restaurants.
-
forget to reconfirm your outbound flight.
