RE: Travel Blog 6: #Insane Bali Trip That Will Give You *Chills*! Full Itinerary and photographs included~
I've been procrastinating my trip to Bali because... wanted to make it my solo trip!! But at the moment I haven't worked up enough courage to book the flight yet... so I'm just reading guides and blogs about people's experiences. I'm a bit worried about kena scam; you got any experience/advice?
Sure. Every country has the pros and cons, however, in Bali, the only thing you need to worry about is the over priced transportation services like tuktuk or taxi that does not follow the meter. To save more, if you have driving license in Bali, rent a bike. But do also take note that Malaysian license is not applicable there, you require an international driving license. But if you're daring enough, just go for it.
Police tend to stop westerners while riding a bike and ask for bribery. Please try to avoid that, be smart and really ask for a reduction in price if you doesn't have the money. Other than that it should be all good. However, Bali is a hotspot for tourists, prices for everything could be pretty high. Try to source for local food if possible, cheap and authentic.
