In answer to Colleen yes we also have been to Bali for many years,here now in fact! The giveaway with firsttimers are as follows.
Bintang singlets get you ripped off.
Very white skin on arrival.
Don,t wear socks with sandals. seriously don,t.
Don,t walk around with a camera whilst reading the Lonely Planet a dead giveaway!
Once you hail a taxi ge in. When youre near your destination have your mooney out to pay. Nothing screams tourist more than taking forever or haggling with the taxi driver. P.s. they never have change. This also blocks traffic and cre3ates havoc.
Try and learn a little bit of the language Bahasa or Balinese before you come this always helps.
That,s our take on it, no offence to anyone.
