Posted by kellysgoingtobali on Wednesday, 18. February 2009 at 16:05 Bali Time:

Hi guys,

A few things im unsure on and im going to bali alone on 1st March which Im so exited about but need advise on some things:

MONEY EXCHANGE - Heard that the kodak shops are the best places to exchange money. Is this right and is there any other places i can trust wont rip me off?

DRIVERS - is $400,000 the going rate for full day tours? what is it worth from sanur to places like water bom park, bali zoo, volcano tour, trips to kuta for shopping etc. any help or approximates a bonus

PRAMS - Do u remmomend me to take a bigger pram for shopping or none at all. I mainly need for 3 and half year old as he is a small boy and gets tired legs easily and dont want to hold him while shopping. Any tips on prams and shopping in kuta and the roads mostly appreciated

BATERING - Im new to this and wondering how much to bater down to. If i think its worth it then ill pay it but how much do i bater down by on avaerage? Does anyone have a guide to how much the rupiah is over there . people have told me they write it down as a guide or something and look at it to see if its worth it. as a quick reference until i get used to it??? PLEASE

BABYSITTERS - Is there any service that is repetable for 2 boys for a cvouple of hours one night to wantch my boys. They must be trust worthly. Any tips or ideas? Not a definate thing but curious

MONEY BAGS THAT SIT ON HIPS like money belts- I have brought a money belt and have been told to be careful as little kids swarm you and it gets cut of with out you nowing from behind. Im unsure how to keep my money safe on me with out it getting vcut off and stolen. any advice?

Be nice to me peoples as i actually went when i was 8 and im 28 now so im basically a first timer as i dont remember much when i was younger. Any help for a first timer appreciated. This site is my bible...........
