Tipping While Travelling

If you’re confuse about tipping practices around the globe, this article might help you.

Bali is the only island where tips are they expect to be tipped for all services. But even there, if you are not used to tipping or have run out of change, they will not snub you for not tipping.

Dealing with Monkeys

There’s an article in malaysia-today about how monkeys get angry and attacking, what trigger them, and what are the signs. If you’re going to visit Monkey Forest in Ubud, there’s also a small excerpt.

According to one study, about three-quarters of all the aggressive interactions between long-tailed macaques and tourists at Bali’s Padangtegal Monkey Forest involved food. If you are holding a snack, throw it in their direction, and they’ll stop bothering you. If you don’t have any food, hold out your open palms to show you’re not carrying a tasty treat or back away from the monkeys without showing fear. To diffuse the situation, don’t make eye contact or smile with your teeth showing - in the nonhuman primate world, these are almost always signs of aggression.
