When we say "Om Swastiastu", we clasped our hand in front our chest in a prayer position. People will reply with "Om Swastiastu" as well. When you say this greeting, don't forget to smile. Someone great said, "You'll never fully dressed without a smile". We always trying to be nice with other people, so if you don't have time to greet them, a smile would be enough.
If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask Balinese. We will gladly to show you the proper way of saying "Om Swastiastu". Enjoy Bali!
