My daughter and I just returned from a stay in Legian and we were shocked by the aggressive behavior of some of these children who sell the bracelets. On one occasion in Garlic Lane one of the girls pushed my daughter onto the road after she politely declined her bracelets, she also used the F word to her. Another evening when walking back from dinner at the Niksoma along the Beach Rd I made the mistake of giving a small amount of money to a little fella of about 3 who was with his mum and baby brother. As soon as he saw my money he called out to another group of older girls and before I knew it I was surrounded. When I refused to give them any money they started calling me a F'n C!!! Never again will they get any money out of me!!
