Hi,I am in Bali at a internet cafe..I am from Sydney and we have found that if you take 100+50 Dollar notes you wont have a problem....and yes they want clean crisp undamaged notes...Your much better off taking Cash..as the money changers give you more...But beware,my first day they ripped me off $20 bucks...100,000 Rup..They are very SLY...Dont trust them...We only just went to change $100 when he wouldnt Count out all of the money without me starting to count it.Watch them always..and ask them to count it all out in front of you..and once you have all of it in your hand's..Dont i repeat dont Let them touch it...they will scam you...Other than that It's Stinking Hot..Bloody Humid...We've got Bali Belly...But were here for three weeks ... It's just BLOODY HOT...
Phew... ;-)
