Yes, Milanos still at Ubud (next to the soccer field) and OK - as always the quality of the massage depends on the massuer, and in the salons they vary from adequate to competent!
There is another large salon at the other end of Monkey Forest Rd (next to the Fench restaurant)which we preferred - the massage rooms and ambience were a bit better. You are often asked whether you prefer male or female - suggest that asking for a female is less likely to cause problems (sorry about the sexism.)
Kuta - Ubud by shuttle bus 15000R, Ubud - Kuta 10000R. Meter taxi around 60000. We hired a vehicle and driver from the hotel 100000 for the day.
Mobiles appear to work in Ubud, you'll need Telstra to give you roaming rights - but calls in and out are expensive - also Telstra advises no digital messaging facility.... but why would you want a mobile?
