If you want to avail a better experience in your travelling life, Bali is calling you for that. But the fact and twist are, every new place comes up with few challenges. Same is here with Bali as well. Bali also comes up with a few challenges. To deal with those challenges, we made this post for the travellers. Before you board the flight for Bali, we will let you know what you should do before boarding. So let’s get started, and learn how to make your Bali trip comfortable and fascinating.
11 things to know:
1. Traffic is exhausting
The streets of Bali are narrow enough, and even it ends at the dead end with no warning as well. If you want to cover up your destinations with less time, then you can take motorbikes for that. But, if you have hired any car, get ready, because it is going to take a long time. If your map is showing for a half-hour to reach the place, take an estimation of 1 hour. Make sure; you will take a taxi before a few hours to arrive at the airport so that you can catch up on your flight to reach home back.
2. Not pedestrian-friendly roads
If you visit Bali, take a motorbike on rent. The streets of Bali are narrow, and finding space for sidewalks might be proven challenging for you. So better is to take a bike on rent. If you even want to cover a short distance, take the rented bike with you. Taking the bike on rent at Bali is affordable as well.
3. Make sure to drive on the left side
If you are not taking the bike on rent, keep in mind that, everyone in Bali drives on the left side. Make sure, while riding, you wear a helmet for your safety.
4. Keep Instagram in Mind
Before Instagram and Snapchat, the only thing run is the old days. Bali is known to be the place of Instagrammers. Here in Bali, you will find different sightseeing, colourful views, which offers a complete picturesque view. There are swings hanging on the beaches, which makes the couples sit, and spend quality time with each other. During the time of sunset on the beaches, you will be having a great view with an amazing picturesque view.
5. Bali has its language Balinese
Indonesia has its language Indonesian. But, do you know, Bali has its different language, known as Balinese. Both languages are similar; slight differences are there in between the languages. If you are going to visit Bali, it will be better for you to learn a few phrases. But don’t worry about the language. People of Bali know how to speak in English. So, you can easily complete your trip with the English Language also. So if you do not want to learn the new language, then you can prefer English over there.
6. Foreign cards are not accepted in ATM
If you have foreign cards, then make sure to fill your wallet with cash, if you want to travel in Bali. There is no doubt you can find a plethora of ATMs in Bali, but they do not work with foreign cards. Not all the ATM does not work with foreign cards. You have to research to find the right option. The machine shows “transaction is pending”. And no cash was found.
7. Exchange is challenging to calculate
Can you even imagine, 1 USD$ is equal to 14000 Indonesian Rupiah? That means, 140000 is equalled to only 10 USD $. Doing the calculation at ATM can be proven quite challenging for the traveller. We found a real story of a woman that stood at an ATM for the calculation of IDR converted from US Dollar, which made her miss her flight also. She got late while doing the calculation, which let this happen. It isn’t very easy in Bali to make payments due to such a big calculation.
8. Keep in mind for the “Plus Plus.”
“Plus Plus” is a term, which is based on the additional tax and service charge. There are many restaurants in Bali, who add additional tax and service charge from the traveller for ending up their meal. Giving a tip at a restaurant is not the tradition of Indonesia. Especially when the amount of “Plus Plus” is added. At that time, no tip is required to be paid.
9. Bali is a negotiable destination
In Bali, you can easily negotiate the prices with the shopkeepers and sellers. First, they used to ask for a higher price, and it happens with everyone in Bali. And, everyone in Bali used to negotiate. You will not believe it, but you can drop down the prices by 25% to 50% by negotiating over there.
10. Religion
In Indonesia, the population of Muslims is very high. It is said that Indonesia has the most Muslims in the entire world. Muslims are very much conservatives, and the same happens in Bali. Women cover knees and shoulders over there. Alcohol is hard to get in Bali. People cannot drink in public.
11. Research well before reach to the destination
It is the last, and most important thing, which every traveller should keep in his mind that, research well. Before you reach the destination, first make research on the destinations to visit, tradition, attractive places, and everything about the place, so that you can make the trip comfortable and easier.
Hope now you will not face any difficulty during your trip with the help of the details mentioned above. So enjoy, and collect new refreshing memories to rejuvenate you.
