the hawkers are going to be the biggest thing to deal with as a first timer. Just remember that there isn't any social security in Bali to rely on to feed the family and put a roof over your head. It is very overwhelming at first. For a first timer - I think it takes 3 days to get used to it. If you are walking past the same hawkers daily and you give them a pleasant no thankyou - you will find that you can have a laugh with them eventually. Enjoy - and make sure you get out into the countryside.
