Travelling as an Aussie in Bali
Australians really were ones who drove the tourist boom in Bali, with surfers arriving in the 1970’s followed by waves of package tourists.
Kuta Beach was, and still is the epicenter of the Australian tourist scene in Bali, with Tuban to the south and Legian to the north also being favourites.

Xtreme Toys: Legian Bali
One of the eye catching shops on Jl. Legian in Legian is Xtreme Toys. If you pass by you will notice the strange looking skateboards and weird bicycles they have outside. The company tag line is ‘Hard core toys, Xtreme Toys n other cool stuff’. They used to be dedicated solely to fringe sports and the shop was stocked with the paraphernalia that supported them. On my recent visit, I saw that there are now more racks of t-shirts and accessories, to compliment the sports equipment.

Borneo Shop: Mats & Bags on Jl. Padma Utara
Legian is loaded with bars, restaurant and shops and yesterday I checked out what was going on on Jl. Padma Utara (north). Handicrafts galore are a feature over here, some coming from other islands (batik form Java, carvings from Papua, ikat from Sumba), some getting made a few miles away and some that is actually made in the shop. Borneo Shop, sells bags and mats, like the sign says and passing I saw the guy sitting there with little production line going on. In a Kuta shop you might pay 80,000rp for one of these type of bags, but I’m sure you could get a better deal here.

Police Raids Crackdown on Pirate DVDs
DVD shops are everywhere in Bali, literally. There always seems to be a new shop opening up every day selling pirated copies of the latest movies and music to suit all tastes, and, tourists are buying up big.

Pasar Seni: Jl. Melasti in Legian Bali
Riding by the pasar seni (art market) on Jl. Melasti in Legian, I stopped to snap a photo. This strip of stalls sells the exact same stuff as you will find in Kuta and the Australian family scene that Jl. Melasti attracts has provided a target rich environment over the years. With Aussies staying away after the 2005 bombing, the bottom has dropped out of the t-shirt and shorts market. Plenty of stressed inventory here right now, plenty of room to bargain.
