I have used Highway. They came through no problems. I was recommended them by a local and I asked my local friend to please pass my phone number on to them. I was a n00b with all this but having a local friend vouch for them meant I didn't have to worry as much. A few days later I got a...

Thanks, ronb. That's good info. I was hoping to purchase a Kindle sometime soon but will have to research it a bit more now.

Fair enough, I didn't realise you were already outside your country.

The Little Pond Homestay in Sanur has basic rooms with fan for Rp 100,000 per night. You need to email or call them to book. I'm not worthy enough to post a URL as yet but if you surf to ellorabali dot com and then click on Hotel Accommodation up the top you will see it listed in there.

Like a daily withdrawal limit that your home bank has placed on your account? You're probably able to increase that just by asking them. If they don't increase it, and you're stuck with a paltry $100 per day or whatever, i'd be changing banks.

Wonder why you can't buy a Kindle in Indonesia? If you were to bring one in from another country, like Australia, and then connected to Amazon, would they detect your Indo IP address and deny online purchase of books? Has anyone actually done this and can verify if it works?

I have withdrawn Rp10 mill several times from random atm's i don't remember the name of. i think they all do it (the ones that display the 100,000Rp sticker on the machine). Just stand there, withdraw your cash and rinse & repeat. No fees with my card though.

I use a NAB Gold Visa Debit card. No fees whatsoever. For example, today i withdrew 1.5juta from any old ATM in Sanur and looking at my statement right now it cost me AUD$165.04. That's it, nothing more to pay. This is a conversion rate of AUD$1 = IDR9089 which in itself is also pretty good.

Compared to Oz, that's about $44 per month and yes it's very very very cheap. What's the going monthly rate then for a low kms scooter including insurance that is so much cheaper?

There are a couple of other 2nd hand book stores nearby the Ganesha store in Ubud on the same street. There is also one on Jalan Hanoman right up on the corner of the main road (Jalan Raya) in Ubud. It's only a small shop and the other half is a tourist info centre. Book prices range from...

My wife and I recently arrived into Bali on a VOA with a bunch of used personal electronics to the value of about US$3000 - 2 laptops, camera, 2 ipods, 2 smartphones and a whole bag of cords and chargers etc.- and we had no problems. No one asked anything nor was there any provision for...
