its always good to learn a little indonesian language it helps so much in this situation, saya tidak mau - meaning I do not want is always good or sudah - already have, helps heaps keep head down show no interest keep on talking to each other(friends)and keep on walking the sellers are a little more aggressive at the moment especially in poppies lane 1 and 2 where theres more tourists walking along.They are also a lot sadder to say no to as they beg quite a bit more than usual but dont spend heaps of time checking out their shops if not really interested and dont bargain for fun or to check out prices so you can move on to new shop.Decide what you want to pay before you start and stick to that if you dont get what you want dont hassle them just say terima - kasih and walk on!
