there is no mac store there (mac make up here is twice the price i pay at home in canada so i have been holding out)

if i am lucky maybe there will be one in the duty free shop!!!

 

[Leony]

Oh yes definitely, look for duty free shop.

I'll look forward for duty free shop If am traveling this year.

As for bali tips, if you do some shopping, try to bargain to lower price!

Don't let them "trick" you, try to "trick" them instead lol.

Read this blog for bargaining in Bali.

Don't forget sunscreen too

Like Leony mentioned, bargain bargain bargain until you think you're satisfied, if they won't lower the price someone else will.

I loved it when I went but there are a lot of peddlers so keep that in mind if you show any interest even a look at what they are selling they won't leave you alone until you buy.

You might want to consider hiring a taxi to drive you around all day, some will do it at a very cheap price just make sure you have an idea of where you want to go or you set the price before you get in or they might want to take advantage and take you the long way. On my last day after dinner we decided to take a taxi to the hotel eventhough it was just a 15 min. walk to save time well it ended up taking us close to 45 min. because the guy took a longer route

we almost missed our ride to the airport. If you complain and argue though you won't have to pay much.

When we went they also told us to becareful with our bags because there are thieves but I really didn't feel unsafe.

Have a great time, enjoy, but be safe out there!

Let us know how it goes.
