Keeping Your Cool
At government offices like immigration or police, talking loudly
and forcefully doesn't make things easier. Patience and politeness
are virtues that will open many doors in Indonesia. Good manners
and dress are also to your advantage.
BALINESES TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN
Luckily for those with children, the Balinese are very gentle
and love to have kids around. But you should bring essentials:
sunhats, creams, medicines, special foods, and a separate water
container for babies to be sure of always having sterile water.
Disposable diapers are available in big supermarkets. Nights
can be cool sometimes, so bring some warm clothing for your
child. Milk, eggs, fruit which you can peel and porridges are
readily available in the supermarkets here. Babysitters are
available for a moderate charge at any hotel.
