WELCOME TO BALI!
Bali - one of over 17,000 islands that make up the Republic of Indonesia. The island’s area is 5,600 km, with its administrative center in the city of Denpasar. Approximately 4 million people live on the island, and it attracts over 6 million tourists annually. Language : The official language is Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian language), while Balinese is the local language. English is widely spoken in tourist areas, and occasionally you may meet locals who speak Russian fairly well, mainly guides and hotel staff. Climate : Tropical. It’s hot and fairly humid year-round, with daytime temperatures ranging from 30 to 35 degrees Celsius. Evenings are slightly cooler. Bali experiences two seasons - wet (November to March) and dry (April to October). Despite the high humidity of 75% - 100%, Bali’s climate is generally tolerable. Religion : Approximately 90% of the island’s inhabitants adhere to Balinese Hinduism, while the remaining 10% follow Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, and other religions. Currency: The national currency is the Indonesian Rupiah. It’s most convenient and advantageous to exchange currency at licensed money changers, such as those in the Central Kuta network, which are found in almost all tourist areas on the island. Exchange rates at hotels and banks are typically lower. There is also a lower exchange rate for bills with denominations below $100 - $50. Most money changers do not accept US dollars issued before 2003. If you exchange too much money, you can convert Rupiah back to dollars or euros at the Ngurah Rai International Airport. Most credit cards are accepted for payment at hotels and major shopping centers. Cash in Rupiah is necessary for purchases, taxis, and other expenses. Shopping : Street vendors and shops are plentiful and very popular among tourists. Standard store hours are from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM without closing for lunch or weekends. There are convenience stores open 24/7, such as M Mart or Circle K, where you can purchase beverages, cigarettes, and other small items. Bargaining is appropriate at stalls and small shops, but prices are fixed in larger retail stores.
