To enter Bali, or Indonesia for that matter you need a passport that has
a validity period of at least six more months, and some cases a visa as
well. Citizens from Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) do
not require a visa, only a valid travel document. Travellers from some
thirty countries are also provided with a 60-day tourist visa issued directly

CURRENCY
The local currency is the Rupiah (Rp) which can be found in the following
denominations: the notes come in 100, 500, 1.000, 5.000, 10.000, 20.000,
50.000, 100.000; while the coin are in 25, 50, 100, 500, 1.000 rupiah
denominations. We recommended to carry US$ cash or travellers cheques.
Credit card and change cards are also accepted in most retail establishments,
at hotels and on airlines. In some cases, a service fee is included when
charging a purchase to your card. However, when travelling to the village,
take Rupiah with you. Keep small change handy when riding in bemo (public
minibus) or buying a drink at warung.
LANGUAGE
The national language is Bahasa
Indonesia. English is spoken by most of the younger people.
CLOTHING
Going to Bali, dress casually. Take light clothes, as the weather is warm-to-hot
throughout the year. There are really only two seasons in Bali - the wet
or rainy season the rest of the year. But the rains usually fall in short
spells.
CUSTOMS & TRADITIONS
Shorts and mini-skirts are not allowed in and around temples. It is a
custom to take off the shoes in temples, on festivals grounds and in private
houses. We strongly recommended these customs to show your respect for
the religious traditions. Embracings and intimate touchings are not well
seen in public. Nude or topless bathing is forbidden.
RESTAURANTS & FOODS
Being a vegetarian, food is main point to be considered. If you want to
take your lunch, dinner or perhaps just drink healthy juices, we recommend
