i beg to differ we found that although there seemed to be less time share people outside Matahari and art market there seemed to be more than our last visit in other areas. We were more than once approched by people on motorbikes about timeshare and there seemed to be more spread. Last time we didn't see any in Legian and Seminyak but ths time we were approched by many.

We also noticed alot more cd/dvd/magazine hawkers this time that would just come up to you in restaurant no matter how far away from the road you were.

We also noticed alot more beggars and children running up and down the street selling leather bracelets and/or asking for gold coins, as well as massage ladies, braids and transport.

Is this because they are suffering or is ths because there are more tourists because there were defintely alot more tourists compared to when we were there last.

P.s i am not saying i hate or like the hawkers etc but simply stating my own observations from my recent trip
