Bali

#1 Crazy traffic Bali is home to crazy, crazy traffic, and even out of rush hour, just a few miles of driving will take much longer than expected.

#2 Consider Moto-Taxis - BUT WITH CAUTION! Unless you're traveling in a large group, hiring moto-taxis can work out significantly cheaper than a car.

*If you have cellular data while in Bali* Consider downloading a local Uber equivalent called “Grab”. The rates are much cheaper than a taxi and you can pay in cash. It’s easy to set up. There is also an App called Gojek, which is even cheaper and locals use it, but it may have issues.

Download them before you come to Bali:

#3 Don't drink the water This probably goes without saying, but please don't drink the tap water in Bali.

#4 Don't be afraid to barter Besides fancy boutiques, restaurants and convenience stores - the first price you're quoted is rarely the actual price, so don't be afraid to haggle.

#5 Be aware of added tax in bars/restaurants By law, all bars and restaurants must charge an additional 21% on their food and drink prices.

#6 You can tip but it's not expected Ah, tipping. We don't want to appear rude, but we also don't want to pay extra when it's not necessary.
