✅ Dos and ❌ Don’ts for Hong Kong & Bali Travelers

✅ Dos

• Dress modestly at temples and religious sites in both destinations
• Use public transport in Hong Kong—MTR is fast, clean, and efficient
• Try local dishes: Dim sum and roast goose in HK, Babi Guling and Satay in Bali
• Learn basic phrases: “Mm goi” (thank you) in Cantonese, “Terima kasih” in Bahasa
• Respect cultural norms—especially during religious festivals
• Carry cash—especially in Bali’s markets and small eateries
• Book key experiences early—like Uluwatu sunset dinners or Peak Tram rides

❌ Don’ts

• Don’t drink tap water in Bali—stick to bottled or filtered
• Avoid PDA in sacred spaces—modesty is appreciated in both cultures
• Don’t litter or use single-use plastics—eco-conscious travel is key
• Skip scooters in Bali unless experienced—traffic can be chaotic
• Don’t assume everyone in Hong Kong identifies as Chinese—be culturally sensitive
• Avoid discussing politics in Hong Kong—topics like “One Country, Two Systems” can be sensitive
