Bring your VISA, that's all you need. Some cash in $ US for emergency is good and maybe a couple of TC's. There are ATM's all over. For more cash, go to a bank and get up to 2 000 000 rp each time. They charge a fee, 60 000 for this (aug -98).
When you leave major tourist areas you'd better go to the bank first.
You get the best rates paying with your VISA, use it as much as you can when shopping and at restaurants and paying hotels. Don't accept the 3 % charge some establishments are trying to charge when using your VISA.
A good idea is to have 2 cards, one VISA and one MC in case one of them doesn't work.
Good Luck
