TIPS AND SAFETY ADVICE For many of you Bali is a familiar place, as soon as you step off the plane and the heaviness of the humidity hits you, the Indo comes rolling off your tongue, your ridiculously relaxed look washes over your face. We tend to forget the first time we arrived and how we were totally overwhelmed by what we all now love. I have thought of a few tips to perhaps prepare you if it’s your first time:

Generally Indonesians do not respond well to confrontation, so try to just go with the flow. Traffic can be slow and this can be due to a car doing a 50 point turn in the middle of the road, a ceremony or cremation procession which has closed off the streets or road works. So try not to leave things to the last minute when traveling around the island especially getting to the airport for flights or a ferry to another island.

Politely remind the taxi driver to turn his meter on. Only use a Bank to change your money. Don’t enter any competitions and politely walk away and say no thank you if a guy jumps off a scooter offering you the chance to win a big prize (these are a time share sales pitch). At mini marts make sure you see the total cost of your purchases on the computer screen as a few staff have been adding their own tourist tax on top of your total and hiding the computer screen and the customer is none the wiser.

Respect for the Culture – Make sure you cover your shoulders and legs with a sarong and with a sash around the waist when entering temples. Ladies cannot enter when menstruating. Unless it’s an organized tour or you have been invited, please do not walk into people’s homes and temples and start taking photos. Although not a huge deal if accidently kicked or stepped on, the beautiful offerings on the ground are to ward off evil spirits and they contain burning incense, which can burn your skin.

Please be aware of methanol poisoning – If you or a friend becomes extremely unwell after consuming any amount of alcohol, particularly if it affects your vision; go immediately to the hospital, as methanol poisoning can be lethal.

Be aware when out at night for thieves on scooters snatching bags from your hand or off your shoulder while you are walking. Always carry your valuables in your scooter seat and not over your shoulder as bag and camera snatches can occur.

Be aware that ATM machines in Bali tend to give you your cash first then slowly your card with many a traveller walking off leaving their cards behind in the machine.

Please only drink bottled and filtered water as the tap water is not treated and can cause illness. Always have travel insurance as health care is very expensive. If you become very unwell, consider calling the Doctor in straight away so you don’t waste your precious holiday in bed and on the toilet. Wash your hands well and often with soap, particularly after touching money.

Out for a bargain – When doing a bit of shopping on the beach or at the markets only ever enter into bartering or ask the price if you actually intend to purchase the item, as this can be seen as very rude. Petrol prices in Bali have risen significantly this past month so be prepared to pay a little more and keep in mind, people are just trying to make a living not necessarily trying to ‘rip you off’

Protect yourself from mosquito bites at all times. We would suggest repellent with a high amount of DEET, as well as long clothing and room sprays.
