In Reply to: IS IT BEST TO TAKE CASH posted by I LOVE 2 SHOP on Friday, 11. February 2005 at 18:57 Bali Time:
Both Visa & Savings card - I only carry one on me at a time - usually the VISA(my LSM) Life Support Machine
I leave here with $1000 and put it in the safe - I change $100 lots at a time and I keep my large notes & small notes seperate in 2 cheap flat wallets- 50000 & 100000 together & the rest in the other
I NEVER take Travellers Cheques now. I carry a poto copy of my pass port & card details and leave the original in the safe. My friend had to get a new card she was in bali a week before me - lost it the first day Sat - her parents didn't get the replacement till Wed and I took it over
I have a wonderful little plastic zip type purse/wallet and I safety pin it to my shorts/pants when I go out at night. I only carry 500000
on me at night I am usually not shopping so I figure if I spend that I must be drunk at bali prices I should be dead lol & its time to go home
