do don’t

...change money at a reputable looking location, use your own (or the hotel’s) calculator before changing! ...forget to bring your passport (or a photocopy of your ID) with you at all times-as well as a copy of Bali Plus!

...put on loads of high factor waterproof suncream (especially if you intend to spend a lot of time in the water). ...swim outside designated swimming areas. Currents can be very strong so swim between red and yellow flags.

...drink a lot of bottled water and eat a lot of fresh fruit - do your body a favour. ...try not to step on offerings in the street (walk around them). ...be careful with your belongings at all times. Crime is on the increase and can ruin your holiday. Cases of handbag snatching have been reported so please leave important documents in your hotel safe (carry photocopies) and wear your bag across your shoulders! ...respect the slow pace of processions. If stuck behind one don’t honk your horn! ...do drugs! It could lead to death penalty. Enough foreigners reside in Bali in courtesy of the Govt. prison service! ...touch people’s heads - it is very offensive to Hindus. ...enter a temple during menstruation. Sorry ladies! ...forget to add salt to your food and to drink lots of water-you probably sweat more here than at home. ...worry too much about the ice - it’s government quality controlled in established bars and restaurants.

...haggle when buying (except on price-tagged goods).

...buy ‘lmmodium’ to relieve bouts of Bali belly. ...forget to look and listen while crossing the road. Cars may stop, motorbikes may not!

...forget to reconfirm your flight 72 hours prior to flying.

A Wordof Advice

ATT ENDING CEREMONI ES: Remember these are serious occasions and should be treated as such. Religious guidelines: • Always wear a sarong and sash. • Do not walk in front of people that are praying. • Do not use a flash camera or point your camera into the priest’s face! • Never sit higher than the priest or the offerings. • At cremations, do not get in the way of the attendees - however important that photographic opportunity is! • Women are not allowed to enter temples during menstruation.

N.B. When attending Special Ceremonies or Anniversary Celebrations as a guest or onloocker, small donations are gratefully received. Your donation will help in paying for the offerings, and upkeep of the temple.

DANG EROUS SPORTS: Make sure you either have personal insurance or travel insurance that will cover any accident.

DRIVING : In Bali, always expect the unexpected, always keep your eyes open and your mind on driving. Beware of motorbikes! It is best to rent a car with full insurance as this will save time and money if you are involved in an accident. You must use a helmet at all times and have a valid license.

MONEY CHANG ERS: Be very careful when changing your money. Always check the rate of exchange and commission (if any). Most importantly, always count your money before you leave the premises and, if you can, bring your own calculator as the ones used by some places can be a little ‘inaccurate’.

PETTY CRIM E: There have been a few cases of handbags being snatched after tourists have cashed money at Banks or Money Changers! Put your money away in your ‘burn-bag’ or hold onto your hand bag tightly!

When changing large amounts of money please check each note carefully as there are a number of (noticeably) fake notes in circulation.

When trying on garments do not take your jewellery off and leave it lying around - give it to a friend or leave it in the hotel safe.

When at a spa - use the jewellery box or locker provided for jewellery.

SWIMMING IN TH E SEA: Currents and undertows can be strong. Always swim between the red and yellow flags and don’t swim too far out! Please, do not leave your belongings unattended on the beach.
