This by far is the only really good, very very helpful and straight to the point Bali travel video I've ever come across in RUclips! I'm instantly a subscriber. Thank you! Will be visiting Bali w my friends next month in October!
I've visited Bali a number of times, but not since 2015. I've mostly stayed in and around Ubud. It's interesting to see what remains the same and what has changed. For one thing, moneychangers were everywhere, but rates vary depending on day of the week and even time of day. I learned never to try to change money from Friday noon through the weekend. I've always hired a driver for the day when exploring, so none of the scooter rental or arranging for individual rides. Your video is very useful for first-time visitors. Thanks!
The last point on the Bum Gun was so helpful! People don't discuss the reality of these trips enough, thanks for pointing that out. Having that gun after eating spicy food and even getting Bali belly would be more useful than just toilet paper.
Just wanted to say think you for your video and vlog series. This has been very helpful as me and my Fiancé plan our two week honeymoon in Bali this coming December!
The international license is relevant to what class of license you hold in your home country. To ride a scooter legally in Bali you need to hold a motorcycle license at home, a car international license doesn’t cover scooters. You aren’t covered for travel insurance without the correct class…. 💯 % on this one!
Wow, this was really nicely detailed and in-depth. If I ever get the chance to visit Bali, I'll know which video to consult.😉 P.S. Nalu vibing in the background was hilarious and super cute🐕
I still can't get over the price difference with the SIM cards 🤣 When you know, you know! It's interesting to hear how travel has shifted for you both now you're doing more 'holiday' style travel rather than endless travelling. I like you guys would need to pay the extra and book things in advance so I'm not at risk of having something like a sold out ferry ruin all the plans! Your chatter about the bum gum had me cracked up. Hot take, but I think they're great, same with bidets. If a bird poops on your arm and you have a choice between washing it off with water or using a tissue - I'd go for the water. Sooooooo.... 🤣 Brilliant tips, I just need to find a reasonably priced flight to get myself there!!!
Right? Isn't that crazy, so worth just doing it ahead of time. Haha love the bird analogy, so true! Woohoo, let us know when you get there, we want to go back already!
Hi! We were in Bali just over three weeks ago. Loved it there. Stayed mainly in Nusa Dua but did have a tour arranged through our travel agent to Ulun Danu Temple and Jatiluwih. I wished I had watched this video before we went on our trip especially about the Visa on Arrival!! We weren't told about this by the travel agent (not helpful!) therefore we had to queue for nearly two hours. Just watched your other Bali vlog and it has certainly given me some inspiration and it is certainly very informative.
Something worth mentioning about using card is they will add a 3% fee to your bill. Not much but I guess it could add up, especially for people travelling on tight budgets
Stacey your hair looks amazing. Aww Nalu so sweet 💕💕💕💕 how he doing ? Great series in Bali where are you off to next. Or are you having a break with Nalu 😊 . Have a Good week 🥰
Aww stoppp it, thank you! Nalu says thank you, too. He's doing well - super social and energetic! We just did a quick trip to Melbourne but we're back home with Nalu for a while now 😊
Hi, this was a great detaiked one. I a glad that youtube threw this onne myway. 1 question - back home, i drove my car on himalayan roads, and even cross country to Nepal.. i am getting an offer from a local dealer for 200k/day for 6 days for 2014 car model tht i can check and pay if i am ookay with condition. I have got international driving permit. Question: Do you think it is doable? We re family of four and if i dont rent a car, me and my wife have to split and ride motorbike. We hate having a driver around us during holidays so thats not an option.
Hey, when you guys went, did you fill out a declaration form 3 days prior to going, I saw online that I need to do it, I wasn't sure if it's mandatory or not.
Very informative, thanks team! Just a quick question to drive the scooters in Bali do you need your NZ motorbike license? As I've seen a lot of conflicting info...
Yay, glad it was helpful! To rent a bike you honestly just need money, BUT whether you travel insurance covers accidents is another story (pretty sure you need a licence).
Hi there! I am trying to go to indonesia and am looking at applying for a electronic - VOA so we can skip the cues, but the website is not letting me access the application. Did you guys have a similar experience? if so how did you overcome this? (a vpn?) great video thanks so much for your help !
Hi guys, can you please tell me the name of the apartment/villa /hotel you stayed at in Canggu as your link just goes to agoda not to a specific hotel/villa. Also can you please recommend a nice hotel in Seminyak under say $150aud a night. I was looking at the Haven Seminyak, have you seen this hotel and would you recommend it? I am travelling by myself and prefer to stay the bulk of my time in Seminyak, though I also want to experience 1 maybe 2 nights in Canggu to see what its like. I like very modern and super clean, with a balcony if possible, just walking distance to some shops cafes as I wont have transport. Thanks so much.
Your timing is impeccable! We've just planned this for our next visit - that stall at the airport is unreliable according to the feedback we've got, so the best option is to order the card and have it sent to your hotel for SUPER cheap. Use this instead: geni.us/GaAZB
I am planning to go to Bali in 2 weeks, for the last week of october, so you think it is still a good time, weatherwise ? I m ok if it rains a little but not my whole trip and i wonder about the humidity as well... Thank you for your video and the tips ❤
We were able to, but someone else mentioned not being able to collect. It’s hard to know with Bali! In saying that, you don’t have to pay online so no loss trying your lucj
Great tips although I've been to Bali many times pre-Covid. But I find it better value (and safer) to buy Indonesian rupiah in my country Malaysia, rather than changing currencies there. Haha about the bum gun, more posh to call it a "hand bidet" :-)
@@DanegerAndStacey Oh....I hope you'll have a good stay here in Malaysia! I've bought some rupiah for my visit to Bali at the end of the month but I'm not sure if you can buy other currencies at good rates though, lol. I normally go to a mall like Mid Valley or Nu Sentral for currency exchange.
Hot tip #1 with the bum guns -- test & turn the bum gun's wall tap down to a low pressure, before you blast your underneath and make a mess. It's not pretty if you make a mistake, especially if there is no toilet paper at all in the bathroom. Hot tip #2 -- You'll go everywhere with a backpack and a water bottle, so why not take some wetties/wet wipes and hand sanitiser as well? You'll see; they will come in handy. p.s. Love the Kiwi accents (says the Aussie)!
Great vlog! Leaving for Ubud soon and this was very help. I went online to purchase my Prepaid Sim Card but became a little leery about putting in my passport info, with all of the corruption/scams going on. Any advice/suggestions to ease my concerns. I would definitely want to benefit from the savings.
Glad it was helpful! If it's through their official Telcomcell site it shouldn't be a problem, of course any sharing of info online has a risk though, but we've done it a few times
Hi Loving your videos - I am travelling with my son in June going to Thailand first and he wanted to know how easy/difficult it is to fly a drone in Thailand ?
Difficult. We didn't bother taking ours with us on this trip but last time we checked you had to register it with the police or something, best to check online for the most up to date info 😊
Have tried to do Visa online twice and it doesn't work. Takes 10 minutes to just get your birthdate using their ridiculous calendar. To waste half an hour each time then get an error message is soooo frustrating. Anyone got a tip on how to deal with the website?
Maybe it’s timing out? As far as we know they still use it. But for the date click on the date and it brings up another window! Then you can select your birth year and save 9 and a half minutes 😉
@@DanegerAndStacey Thanks guys. I tried that so it must be an issue with my safari or Chrome I'll try to sort it with my IT guy. Thanks for your great tips. I've been there 3 times before but never bothered with all this and it's such sage advice.
Hahaha omg yuck 😂 if you're staying somewhere dodgy you might see some 💩 but we never have. They vary in pressure, but enough to get the job done if ya know what im sayin...
Bum gun is not due to toilet paper clogging toilets, it’s a hygiene thing, and very common in eastern countries, I still don’t understand why this is not the norm in many western countries, kinda gross just using dry paper.🤮
Never say is cheaper, if you dont think jn locals, for cristiano ronaldo everiting is cheaper, for local noo, for people un africa see the video no, for asian people no, for south american no... stop liee is cheaper for people living in 1°world countries, you tal about country dont have potavel water 💥
This is the best video I’ve seen on tips for Bali! Thank you so much! Does anyone know a reliable source for CoVid requirements to enter Bali now? There is so many conflicting information on this. Thank you
Spot on with great Tips guys. Harriet and I are always wary of traveling by scooter. What would you suggest as the most cost-effective way to get around other than a scooter when traveling longer distances? General costs? Nalu is a big boy now. How Cute. 😍 Will we see Nalu in your travels soon? Love you guys'❤❤❤ Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond, Va.
Definitely hiring a driver is the way to go, they are super flexible and vary depending on the length of travel of course but all you need to do i ask around when you're on the ground. We're hoping he can come along on a trip with us soon, watch this space. Sending love back to you three ❤
Hi guys, The three apps you need. I listened over and over and I still can’t get what the first one is. Sounds like Gojek. The other two are grab and WhatsApp. Could you please clarify. Thanks for the tips, going to Bali soon
I came across your video good information I have a sister trip going to Bali for the first time in October for 2 weeks. We are renting a AirBNB in Semiyak any suggestions you may have will be nice 😊
We will be there next month. I wanted to pay for Touristic Visa but I haven't found a correct address of my hotel. I can't go further on this page. Thank you so much for your tips. They are very helpful. I'm from Poland so these information about a religion traditions are very helpful too. We want to respect their culture. So thank you ones again.
Wait a minute! for someone, like myself, who needs to book everything in advance to secure a spot for peace of mind, HOW do you just book it on the ground??? it's not computing in my head, have you ever booked something on the spot and didn't get it? if so, how did you deal with that????????????????
Haha we hear ya, we hear ya. More often than not there is always availability - there are so many companies offering various forms of tours. If it's not available the next day, it tends to be open the following, so you just be fluid with your plans
I loved this. So helpful! Thank you so much. I'm leaving in a week. The one thing I am wondering about, which I can't find information on is are you supposed to tip in Bali? I know this is something we do in the US and it's not common everywhere...I just want to be prepared.
Glad it was helpful! Tipping isn't normal, no, but it is appreciated if there is someone that goes above and beyond - even 5 or 10% is a large amount for locals. Just remember in touristy areas you are already paying a premium and also - there is a new tourist tax that launched in Feb, be sure to do that!
Are the names of the apps that you were mentioning written down anywhere? It would be nice if it were. I was also wondering about the dog (that's how I get here, because of your cavapoo puppy video) - I plan to get one in the future, but I heard that they are very... human-oriented. I read that they are prone to suffer from separation anxiety. I also like to travel from time to time and I am worried that this might be problematic. Of course it would be best to be able to travel with your dog, but this is not always possible. How is your dog dealing with this? What do you do with him? Dog hotel? Friends/family takes care of him?
Separation anxiety is REAL unfortunately. Nalu still struggles a year later sadly, we're actually looking to bring in a trainer to help with some other behaviours that stem off that, despite having him in preschool, puppy school and day care with training. BUT they are the most adorable lovely and cuddly dogs
I heard it always carry USD currency to Bali. If we carry home country currency , it will converted to USD and then to Indonesian rupiah, so you still think carrying local home country currency is good?
Thanks for the tips! I’m heading over in September, first time in 10yrs! It definitely seems like things have moved more towards scooters though, I think I would just feel more safe in a car - are there still a lot of cabs around? Or do you mostly need to organise drivers?
That's totally understandable, there are cabs around, you can also use Grab (like Uber) in certain areas - just do your research first. Don't just get in any blue cab. Get in a Bluebird Taxi specifically. There are a load around that are blue or have a similar name and logo. If you're going a short distance a cab will be fine but for longer trips, definitely hire a private driver 😊
Did you hear that Bali is considering banning renting scooters to international visitors? If caught, tourists could be kicked out of the country? It was reported in Australia earlier this week. Apparently there is a lot of hooning and also inexperienced drivers cause accidents. They also don’t wear the right gear.

The last point on the Bum Gun was so helpful! People don't discuss the reality of these trips enough, thanks for pointing that out. Having that gun after eating spicy food and even getting Bali belly would be more useful than just toilet paper.
HAHA yeah, hopefully you don't find out the wrong way, but it's definitely helpful at times!
You guys are still the best. We are in Bali in a few days time and have sorted the Visa, sim and taxi by Klook. thanks again
Yes! Hope you had an epic time
Just wanted to say think you for your video and vlog series. This has been very helpful as me and my Fiancé plan our two week honeymoon in Bali this coming December!

Great tips, nice vlog series! I bet your puppy missed you heaps while you were gone!
Aww I think we may have missed him more than he missed us haha 😂
Thank you heaps for this!
No problem!
Thank you a lot for your wonderful video clip. I just wonder about Malaria in Bali. Did you need to take malaria prophylaxis before your trip?
We never have!
You guys have some great info!

One week to go!!!! So excited and thanks for all these tips! Will definitely do the visa in advance and arrange for airport transfer….🇨🇦
Eeep are you there now?! So glad the tips came at a good time for you. Safe travels 😊
One more sleep and 20 hrs inside planes! Got the evisa and the SIM card app done….can’t wait!

0:03 I was in Bali one week ago and didn't have to stay in queue to get visa
Best tips ever
Hey, thanks for sharing these tips but I'm having so many issues with the VISA process.
Something worth mentioning about using card is they will add a 3% fee to your bill. Not much but I guess it could add up, especially for people travelling on tight budgets
Yup very good point!
Amazing tips!!!!!!!!😮
AMAAAAZZZING 😊
Stacey your hair looks amazing. Aww Nalu so sweet 💕💕💕💕 how he doing ?
Great series in Bali where are you off to next. Or are you having a break with Nalu 😊 .
Have a Good week 🥰
Aww stoppp it, thank you! Nalu says thank you, too. He's doing well - super social and energetic! We just did a quick trip to Melbourne but we're back home with Nalu for a while now 😊
Can you please name the apps ? Or links ?
Great video. Can you share the transfer drivers/site you mentioned in the video?
This video needs millions of views!! You don't understand how helpful this video is :) Thank you guys !!!!
That means a lot, thank you!
Totally Agree!!!
What’s the link to the airport transfer? Thank you!
The link keeps changing, but look through Klook!
If you’re staying at multiple places, what do you put on the online visa?
Just the first place is all gravy, they just need some evidence you got your shit together
How do you feel about visiting a local shaman for a palm reading and a healing ceremony?
Someone knows the best cruise company to make Sanur- Nusa Penida? Amazing video!!!
Thanks! There's so many companies for that cruise, I can't recall who we used sorry
Good morning from Brazil
Hellooo!
On which website can i buy the sim online? Thank you for all these informations, keep going✨
Telkomsel maybe
Hi there do you have some good tips on airport transfer ...i cannot find the link you mentioned
Hi, this was a great detaiked one. I a glad that youtube threw this onne myway. 1 question - back home, i drove my car on himalayan roads, and even cross country to Nepal.. i am getting an offer from a local dealer for 200k/day for 6 days for 2014 car model tht i can check and pay if i am ookay with condition. I have got international driving permit. Question: Do you think it is doable? We re family of four and if i dont rent a car, me and my wife have to split and ride motorbike. We hate having a driver around us during holidays so thats not an option.
Great video! Do you have the klook app link?
where do you recommend staying? canggu?
Definitely Canggu is our fav - we recommend you get our Bali guide for all the best advice!
Hey, when you guys went, did you fill out a declaration form 3 days prior to going, I saw online that I need to do it, I wasn't sure if it's mandatory or not.
Very informative, thanks team! Just a quick question to drive the scooters in Bali do you need your NZ motorbike license? As I've seen a lot of conflicting info...
Yay, glad it was helpful! To rent a bike you honestly just need money, BUT whether you travel insurance covers accidents is another story (pretty sure you need a licence).
Hi there! I am trying to go to indonesia and am looking at applying for a electronic - VOA so we can skip the cues, but the website is not letting me access the application. Did you guys have a similar experience? if so how did you overcome this? (a vpn?)
great video thanks so much for your help !
it says the website is "blocked to protect my privacy"
Hi guys, can you please tell me the name of the apartment/villa /hotel you stayed at in Canggu as your link just goes to agoda not to a specific hotel/villa. Also can you please recommend a nice hotel in Seminyak under say $150aud a night. I was looking at the Haven Seminyak, have you seen this hotel and would you recommend it? I am travelling by myself and prefer to stay the bulk of my time in Seminyak, though I also want to experience 1 maybe 2 nights in Canggu to see what its like. I like very modern and super clean, with a balcony if possible, just walking distance to some shops cafes as I wont have transport. Thanks so much.
I got back yesterday. Stayed around the corner from The Haven... it's a nice place and right in the middle of it all in Seminyak. Great place to stay.
Nice couple... very cool 😊 lazy is gooood!
Thank you!
I have an electric scooter in Bali & didn't require a license or registration for electric scooters in 2018. Do you know if that still the same now?
So do kiwis need a visa if flying from nz and are only there for a couple of weeks?
Yup you do!
Hi guys! for the Sim Cards, do you think that if i land around midnight I'll be able to get it at the airport? Will the stall be closed?
Your timing is impeccable! We've just planned this for our next visit - that stall at the airport is unreliable according to the feedback we've got, so the best option is to order the card and have it sent to your hotel for SUPER cheap. Use this instead: geni.us/GaAZB
@@DanegerAndStacey You guys are simply amazing. Sincere blessings to you
what did you write on the visa on arrival form for Residence information? is it about the address where you booked your stay? pls help
I am planning to go to Bali in 2 weeks, for the last week of october, so you think it is still a good time, weatherwise ? I m ok if it rains a little but not my whole trip and i wonder about the humidity as well...
Thank you for your video and the tips ❤
Sorry, we've been in South America - hope you had/have an amazing trip though!
I'm staying 3 days in uluwatu, would you recommend that I hire a scooter? Or is grab and Gojek pretty accessible around there?
If you're a confident scooter rider, it's well worth getting one to avoid any areas that don't allow Grab or Gojek 😊
Hello!! Thank you!! Heading to Bali in May... whats going on with COVID? Do we have to show a Vax card or negative test??
As New Zealanders when we landed, we didn't need anything but it's best to get more up to date info based on your nationality just in case.
Looking online couldnt find anything saying they require you to have a covid vaccination. Can you confirm if one is required to enter? Thanks.
At the time it was, but things may have changed now !
What is the weebsite for airport transfers? Also, is there a iphone app?
Use Klook to book the transfer
Can you still pick up the sim card you pre-order at the airport? I read several times that you now have to pick it up at a different store.
We were able to, but someone else mentioned not being able to collect. It’s hard to know with Bali! In saying that, you don’t have to pay online so no loss trying your lucj
Great tips although I've been to Bali many times pre-Covid. But I find it better value (and safer) to buy Indonesian rupiah in my country Malaysia, rather than changing currencies there. Haha about the bum gun, more posh to call it a "hand bidet" :-)
Exchange rates in Malaysia are incredible huh! We plan to swap some currency there later in the week

There are so many visa sites, do you know which is the legit one plz?
We used molina.imigrasi.go.id/ 😊
Actually the scoops are the “old” versions of the bum gun. So yeah, it is used to not only flush the toilet but to wash your down under and behind😅
Luckily the ones we saw still had the rubbish bin and toilet paper situation 😂 it's all an adventure, right? haha
Great info Just back from 2months. Going back for 6mnths. Can you talk on extended visas 😊
We do have a visa extension vlog from Bali - it's a few years old though.

Hi, do i need visa if only staying for a week?
It depends on what country you're coming from, but I think pretty much everyone needs one now since they made changes!
How did you book your Sim card online? Through Klook?
We got ours through the offical Telkomsel website - you'll see a section that says 'Pre-Order Tourist Prepaid Card'
@Daneger and Stacey cheers, thankyou
@Daneger and Stacey I just pre-ordered my Sim card after watching this ❤ and it says pay on arrival and pick up. Is this what yous had?
Yup that’s right! Print/screenshot the invoice thing they sent to show them in person
@@DanegerAndStaceyso do you pick up the sim card at the international airport? Is that correct?
I love your dog. What breed is it?
Thank you! He's a Cavoodle 😊 We love him soooo much!
They are banning motorbikes for tourists in Bali, so walking or taking a taxi it is.
Is this a new thing?
Possibly. Let's hope not!
To our knowledge, nothing offical has happened yet - so let's wait and see.
How much water pressure do the bum guns produce ? And do they get poo on the end from less experienced shooters ?
Fantastic question because I would be hesitant to use that thing.
Hahaha omg yuck 😂 if you're staying somewhere dodgy you might see some 💩 but we never have. They vary in pressure, but enough to get the job done if ya know what im sayin...
Bum gun and water scoop same in thailand, and many other places so not so unique
It's unique if you've never seen one before and have no idea what to do with it
@Daneger and Stacey true I guess because we travel alot I forget about people who don't and this would be very foreign to them
haha, yeah you've gotta watch out for monkeys. they look so cute, but if you've got something they want, watch out! 😱
So true 😂 They're not scared of anyone!
Those are not cigarettes it’s incense sticks 😅
Look inside bruh, it's cigarettes often
Bum gun is not due to toilet paper clogging toilets, it’s a hygiene thing, and very common in eastern countries, I still don’t understand why this is not the norm in many western countries, kinda gross just using dry paper.🤮
We asians are used to using water and soap for cleaning our bum,because its more hygienic than toilet paper
Never say is cheaper, if you dont think jn locals, for cristiano ronaldo everiting is cheaper, for local noo, for people un africa see the video no, for asian people no, for south american no... stop liee is cheaper for people living in 1°world countries, you tal about country dont have potavel water 💥
Only thing to know is NOT to go, what a shithole...
Could not disagree more, wow.
Is there an expectation of tipping? How much?
No not really at all. But it is a nice thing to do on occasion.
This is the best video I’ve seen on tips for Bali! Thank you so much!
Does anyone know a reliable source for CoVid requirements to enter Bali now? There is so many conflicting information on this. Thank you
Spot on with great Tips guys. Harriet and I are always wary of traveling by scooter. What would you suggest as the most cost-effective way to get around other than a scooter when traveling longer distances? General costs? Nalu is a big boy now. How Cute. 😍 Will we see Nalu in your travels soon? Love you guys'❤❤❤ Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond, Va.
Definitely hiring a driver is the way to go, they are super flexible and vary depending on the length of travel of course but all you need to do i ask around when you're on the ground. We're hoping he can come along on a trip with us soon, watch this space. Sending love back to you three ❤
Very helpful tips!
Will re-watch this when I go to Bali soon.
Thanks Dane & Stacey 😎🇮🇩✨
Yaay! Thanks Nikki 😊
Hi guys, The three apps you need. I listened over and over and I still can’t get what the first one is. Sounds like Gojek. The other two are grab and WhatsApp. Could you please clarify.
Thanks for the tips, going to Bali soon
Yup it’s called GoJek! Super popular in Bali
I came across your video good information I have a sister trip going to Bali for the first time in October for 2 weeks. We are renting a AirBNB in Semiyak any suggestions you may have will be nice 😊
Great video
We will be there next month. I wanted to pay for Touristic Visa but I haven't found a correct address of my hotel. I can't go further on this page. Thank you so much for your tips. They are very helpful. I'm from Poland so these information about a religion traditions are very helpful too. We want to respect their culture. So thank you ones again.
Wait a minute! for someone, like myself, who needs to book everything in advance to secure a spot for peace of mind, HOW do you just book it on the ground??? it's not computing in my head, have you ever booked something on the spot and didn't get it? if so, how did you deal with that????????????????
Haha we hear ya, we hear ya. More often than not there is always availability - there are so many companies offering various forms of tours. If it's not available the next day, it tends to be open the following, so you just be fluid with your plans
Amazing video! Just did my VOA and ordered a sim online... THANK YOU!!!
Hey how did you get your IMEI? I'm trying to organise a aim card online as well
@@cjh1752 go into your phone settings and about
Wooohoo! Glad we could help 😊
I loved this. So helpful! Thank you so much. I'm leaving in a week. The one thing I am wondering about, which I can't find information on is are you supposed to tip in Bali? I know this is something we do in the US and it's not common everywhere...I just want to be prepared.
Glad it was helpful! Tipping isn't normal, no, but it is appreciated if there is someone that goes above and beyond - even 5 or 10% is a large amount for locals. Just remember in touristy areas you are already paying a premium and also - there is a new tourist tax that launched in Feb, be sure to do that!
Are the names of the apps that you were mentioning written down anywhere? It would be nice if it were.
I was also wondering about the dog (that's how I get here, because of your cavapoo puppy video) - I plan to get one in the future, but I heard that they are very... human-oriented. I read that they are prone to suffer from separation anxiety. I also like to travel from time to time and I am worried that this might be problematic. Of course it would be best to be able to travel with your dog, but this is not always possible.
How is your dog dealing with this? What do you do with him? Dog hotel? Friends/family takes care of him?
Separation anxiety is REAL unfortunately. Nalu still struggles a year later sadly, we're actually looking to bring in a trainer to help with some other behaviours that stem off that, despite having him in preschool, puppy school and day care with training. BUT they are the most adorable lovely and cuddly dogs
Bumguns and bidets 😅 you gotta love Japan too for introducing this to the world. 😅
Totally! Now we need to get to Japan to experience the ultimate bum gun
As soon as I see that Nirvana t-shirt, I love this guy.
Last time I visited Bali in 2018, and can't wait to explore more!
Haha cheers dude! Get back there asap
I heard it always carry USD currency to Bali. If we carry home country currency , it will converted to USD and then to Indonesian rupiah, so you still think carrying local home country currency is good?
That's not the case, they just change it to IDR at the rate available. Same thing with us transferring NZD and Euros on our last trip
I love Stacey's new hairstyle! :)
Nothing new, I just curled it but thank you - that's very kind 😊
Regarding your international driving licence/ permit (IDP). Which one is it.....1926.....1949.....or 1968? Thanks
It is not cigarette, it is incense.
No, it’s both. It’s very common to put cigarettes in the offerings.
Thanks for the tips! I’m heading over in September, first time in 10yrs! It definitely seems like things have moved more towards scooters though, I think I would just feel more safe in a car - are there still a lot of cabs around? Or do you mostly need to organise drivers?
If you're going to use cabs, only use the Blue cabs and don't let any driver not run the meter
That's totally understandable, there are cabs around, you can also use Grab (like Uber) in certain areas - just do your research first. Don't just get in any blue cab. Get in a Bluebird Taxi specifically. There are a load around that are blue or have a similar name and logo. If you're going a short distance a cab will be fine but for longer trips, definitely hire a private driver 😊
Did you hear that Bali is considering banning renting scooters to international visitors? If caught, tourists could be kicked out of the country? It was reported in Australia earlier this week. Apparently there is a lot of hooning and also inexperienced drivers cause accidents. They also don’t wear the right gear.
its okay as long you have international driver license for motorcycle
@@gura6801 that’s the current law but they are thinking of banning them even if they have an international motorcycle licence.
We've heard a lot of different things, will be interesting to see what actually happens!
People have bali bally if eat warungs food contaminada or ice or water 😢😢
Do you have the name or the address where to exchange rupiah cash for the best rate in Bali?
Really great video, very informative. We heading to Bali in may. You picked up the pre-orderd SIM at the airport? Thanks 🇭🇺
