In Reply to: Questions from my son.. posted by Balimagic on Thursday, 15. September 2005 at 10:13 Bali Time:
1. Xbox games can be purchased from many DVD shops we stay regularly at Bali Dynasty and DVD shop directly across road next to Daddy's Cafe has a lot of games there which weve purchased in the past.
2. How old is your son? My son is 6 and daughter is 7 and I would not let them wander around by themselves as you never know if some weirdo is lurking about the park, but your son may be of age to know whats right from wrong. In the kiddies area there is life gaurds on duty all the time with a whistle to alert kids when they are in the wrong, and it's well supervised. All waterslide rides are well supervised and at the top of waterslides they have cameras to watch everyone as they go down slides so theres no problems there. But like I said my kids are young and we always supervise them. You will have a fantastic day out and you too will enjoy it. And maybe he'll meet up with a friend which will be more interesting for him than going around by himself if he chooses to, my kids always make new friends on holidays and this is great.
3. Pocket money Id say up to the individual. Me personally being an adult I cash usually $100.00. - $150.00 per day go out to restaurants and cafes and bring home bags of shopping everyday or $200.00 on a big splurge day. (This is for myself and the 2 kids, and my husband also cashes approx $100.00. per day, also spends on the kids). For your son I'd say depends on what he's planning to do or what he plans to buy. At timezone he might start off with ten dollars for instance and they will give him a card and when that $10.00. runs out he takes it back to counter and they recharge the card with an extra payment this is the timezone in Kuta near McDonalds which is the best timezone in my opinion, there is also a timezone in the new Centro Plaza at Tuban and when we were ther in April they gave out the token coins. Hope this helps.
