■Overview of Bali

Bali is a resort tourist destination in the country of Indonesia. Families, wedding travelers, and surfers from all over the world gather here. Bali is not only famous for its sea, but also for its many tourist attractions and inexpensive prices.

Sanur, Kuta, and Ubud are the most famous areas. Sanur is located on the east side of the sea and is a resort area with a moderate number of stores. You can enjoy beautiful sunset and sunrise. Kuta has the sea and many stores. However, there are some concerns about security. Ubud is located in the mountains. There are many temples, and you will be healed by the forest. Monkeys are cute.

■Rate

Currently 0.009 yen / rupiah
At that time 0.0087 yen/rupia
Almost no change.
In my head's calculation, I think it should be 1/100 of a rupiah and a little cheaper than that.

Price Quotations
タクシー（空港からサヌールまで）
レンタサイクルが便利です。 Bicycle rental is convenient.
Balinese massage: about 60,000 rupiah (the cheapest)
Tip: 20,000-50,000 rupiah

Living Environment
Plugs are type C with two round pins.
Mineral water is available for purchase.
The temperature is 28 degrees Celsius and humidity is low. It was more comfortable than in Japan.
The air conditioner was too effective in some indoor places, so it might be better to bring a basic short-sleeved jacket and coat.
About money exchange
It is best to exchange money locally, not at the airport. At the airport, you will only exchange money for cab fare.
// Local exchange offices
money EXchange. It was located in front of the supermarket "Hardee's". (The situation seems to have changed now).
Rental bicycles are convenient in Sanur.

Next time, I will report on my trip from the plane to Sanur on the 1st day.
