Bali Travel Information
Entrance:Passport with a validity of at least 6 month from time of entry, and at least one empty page for stamping is required. Children need their own passport.Visa:on arrival you get a tourist Visa, valid for 2 months in Indonesia. Not extendable. If you want to stay longer than 2 months, you have to get yourself a visa for Indonesia at an Indonesian embassy (outside of Indonesia).Money:The currency of Indonesia is the Rupiah, being a floating currency. Currently the rate for 1 US $ is roughly Rp 8.800.-, for 1 EURO about Rp 9500.-. The most common credit cards are Visa, MasterCard and Maestro. All are accepted in all bigger banks and can be used at the numerous ATM machines. Best you bring some cash (US $ get a good rate) and parts in traveler checks.Temperature:Bali is blessed with an all year round temperature of 27 to 31 degrees Celsius. On the mountains it can drop at night to 18 degrees. There is a "rainy season", from middle of December to middle of March. But depending on the area of Bali, you get only tropical downpours that last for half an hour. Mornings are rather sunny, afternoons cloudy. Except these showers you will find a sunny and warm weather all year round in Bali. Mosquito's you find in the coastal areas generally mostly at dusk, inland a bit more. Best protection is a mosquito net while sleeping, at dusk using a skin protection or make use of the widely available mosquito coils. Mosquito's don't enjoy flying in the breeze of a fan.Clothes:Light airy clothes, best made of natural materials, a pullover for the sometime quite chilly mountain regions – but remember - not too much. Hardly anyone can resist the temptation of bargain clothes here, be it colorful Batik from the local markets, stylish designer clothes from the shops in Kuta, or custom-made clothes by local tailors.Luggage:Generally also here – not too much! On Bali there is an abundance of inexpensive product options. The availability of attractive art and gift items at affordable prices is so extensive, that you will surely depart with more luggage than you brought.Children:Bali is probably one of the most children friendly countries of all. The attention and care of children tends to be a collective community concern, which is not left entirely to the parents and will indeed apply to the children of the “orang putih“. Moreover the local people, male or female alike, have a knack of dealing happily with children. There are many examples of the screaming baby, unable to be calmed by it's own parents, transforming into a bundle of smiles and happy sounds, merely by being picked up and held by a Balinese person.Doctors, medicine and health:There is a widespread medical care in Bali, public hospitals, private clinics and private practices. There are ambulances and emergency stations. In Singaraja, with a population of roughly 30.000 people, there are 6 hospitals. There are also reasonably well equipped pharmacies all around.Electricity:The voltage is 220. Adapters are widely available.Etiquette:Here the first rule is – Smile. This is a universal way of communication, or at least an icebreaker. Should something not be to your satisfaction, it makes no sense to start raising your voice and getting excited. With such behavior you will lose face. Either people could turn their back on you amused, or they could become annoyed or even worse, afraid of you.
Singaraja is the former capital of Bali, and a typical Indonesian city: many temples, wide roads, lots of greenery, no skyscrapers and very little tourism. You can find in Singaraja hospitals, private clinics, an University, banks (with pin code ATM machines), libraries, restaurants, a big market and many shops.
