Turtle Island tipu orang 1. People there treat u nice nice, take photo v turtle, snake, bat..bla bla. At the end, ask u to donate money.

Thought of giving 1000 rupiah but that guy said minimum is 10,000 rupiah.

donate oso can request 10k..

Then you are not alone dude.

So lesson here is, if you want a nice and cheap dinner at jimbaran,

1) Go to the old jimbaran side instead of the bungalow type restaurant.
2) Order their set instead of ala carte.
3) Do not ask driver to recommend and bring you there.
4) Do Not call up the restaurant to pick up from your villa.
5) Ask for a discount.

posted my experience here. Feel free to browse around and hope it helps in your plannings

hey ! I got an offer of spa treatment for 3 hrs at 40% discount ( normal
us 75/= ) only us 45/= and some more I brought 10 ppl along he give
another free 1.5 hrs stone therapy treatment. How's that?
Its from the body spa in Kuta. Have anyone been to this spa, may I have your comments please!

juz came back from Bali..
for those planning to go there, 3 words for ya...
Bargain, bargain & bargain.... at least 50%. they said that's not possible but when u walk away, they said "ok deal.."..
at da volcano sightseeing place, dont take da offer if da item is in a PLASTIC BAG, that's a cheating tactic from da locals.
lastly, there are many POLO Ralph Lauren shops which sell imitation POLO stuff and are pretty expensive, do not fall 4 them since most shirts are >rm100
juz my 2k rupiah..

What do you mean imitation POLO stuff while the same things were sold in their air-port also?
And i think except working shirts that cost slightly above RM100, most of the t-shirts are below RM100.
I just know they sell it much cheaper than here in m'sia is because they are made in Indonesia.

Most of Polo Ralph Lauren's range are made in developing countries.

Polo Ralph Lauren used to make most of the polos in China, but in the past couple of seasons they have been using progressively cheaper countries. i remember them starting with South America (Bolivia and Peru mainly) and then South East Asia (Bangladesh and Indonesia).
for the most recent Australian season, there has been a noticable drop in fabric quality. probably due to the fact that they are still charging the same prices as 5 years ago.

i have heard that Polo RL uses different source countries to sell in different markets. eg. the polos sold in the US typically are made in Mexico or South America, while the polos sold in Europe & Australia are typically made in Asia.

So I guess that's why they sell cheaper in Indonesia but it doesn't mean they are fake. Their quality are ok also.

My Travel & Living

guys.. u mostly go on tours? or buiy air ticket then travel ur self on local guide?

wonder if i shud spare the headache and go for tour instead.....

yeah jus book da ticket, and get a driver over there. much cheaper.

loads of driver contacts over this discussion. u can always sms them to secure ur booking

i just want to go surfing in bali...best place to stay? any suggestion?

you can try bluepoint...u can surf there..saw alot of guai low and japs surfing there

yes, they might be made in Indon but i've been told that some are real, some are fake..there r too many outlets there to believe to be true...lol..

btw, i didnt find Indon on their global websites...

that's my 2 cents only bru..juz have a close look on da quality b4 buy lor..

Remember guys, the one you saw everywhere around bali is POLO and its not the same with Polo Ralph Lauren. Best example is in the discovery mall. Both RL and POLO is side by side.

Polo Ralph Lauren wether its made in indo, mexico or in the states the price would not be different that much.

POLO shirt will never have any ralph lauren trade name on its shirt, the store nothing.
