Did you read the "travel" article in the West Australian today? Is that why you are querying this? I really don't think some of these travel writers would really know what is happening. They are after all "guests" of the various airlines or hotels. He said that you can get a driver/guide for $30 per day. I don't think so, half day, yes. He said that you have to pay in US$ and that nothing else is accepted. No way. Like others I always pay in AUD and get my change in rupiah. Any currency or credit cards are accepted. He also said to keep your "last" 100,000rp for departure tax. I was always told to put 100,000rp in my passport as soon as I changed my money. I tried to ring the "West" today but no answer. I will ring tomorrow afternoon and tell whoever I have to speak to that their "travel" writer doesn't know what he is taking about in reference to Bali. Cheeers, Stormy
