... it's easy to change, Kodak shops are probably the safest if you're worried but really not a hassel. If using your card you will get charged overseas fees, I used it once when I was over there but can't remember the fee charged. Also there is a limit on how much you can get out of the ATM machines in one go, so we had to take card out and put it back in and therefore got charged the fees twice. I think most ATM allow 1 million rupiah to be withdrawn at a time. Definitely cash is easiest as far as I'm concerned. Still take your card however because, like us, you may need to make some additional purchases and it is handy to know you can have the cash if you need it. Have fun!
