Please keep this in mind:
The new International terminal is an impressive three-storey structure. The first
floor is for arrivals and
the middle second floor offers shops, bars, restaurants and money exchange
facilities. The spacious third floor is where international departures are located, along
with numerous restaurants and shops.
Ngurah Rai International Airport:
If you're flying in to Bali from overseas, this is where you will be
arriving. The new, airy arrivals floor offers free WiFi so
you can connect to the internet as soon as you land and get in touch with
friends and family to let them know you've arrived in Bali safely.

The soon your driver picks you up, my best advice is to go direct to
your hotel and enjoy your relaxing time to get some massages because anywhere
you stay in Bali, most available SPA resorts are very accessible and offer reasonable price.
Next thing, you need to get a
sim card for your phone. This should be your first priority when
landing. If you haven’t arrived yet, make sure your phone can accept foreign
sim cards through your service provider. Sim cards are really cheap here and
for about 150k, you should have enough credit to do most things (unless you
want to watch loading of You Tube videos stream music). Once you have that, a
whole new world opens up.
Download Uber and Gojek apps. These
two apps will absolutely make your life easier. Uber is pretty efficient here
and it means you won’t have to go through the pain of haggling for taxis. The
fares also cost significantly less. Gojek is essentially the same thing except
on a motorbike and the fare is a flat 15k and you can get them to bring food as
well as anything else you might want.
Utilize Google maps. Because
you have your phone in working order, now you can tell what’s walking distance
and what is clearly not. While not perfect (our map is better), Google Maps
will give a pretty good time estimate of how long it takes to get to places
factoring in traffic so that you can plan your days appropriately.
Wear sandals, since
the weather average in Bali 79 degree F with 64-85 humidity. Make sure you wear your summer outfits. Remember, stay hydrated... Don't forget your bathing suits.
Exercise good throttle control. You
can instantly recognize when someone is a newbie on a motorbike by the way how they
use the throttle. Novices will lay on the gas hard and unevenly leading to a
lot of control issues. Once you master the throttle, you’ll look like a pro on
the bike.
Things to
do in Bali during the low season
The low season: January 9 to June 30; September 16 to December 20.
The low season is a great time to negotiate deals on accommodations and find cheap hotel packages, and more.

Alas, we’ve hit the doldrums and the hordes of
Christmas/New Years have returned to their homes. It’s the low season now, which means fewer tourists…. So what
to do?
Exercise. It’s time to get back in
shape so that you’re in your prime for when high season kicks in. The (should
be) rainy days and nights provide an excellent opportunity to work on your
body.
Get a significant other. The prime
hunting season is over. Those large groups of singles ready to mingle are going
to be dwindling. Time to put the prowl on hold and find yourself a regular
thing.
Enjoy nature. It’s an excellent
time to go on day trips to less populated parts of the island, whether they be
mountains, waterfalls, rafting, diving, bicycling, climbing the mountain, or anything north of here. All the tour buses jamming
up the roads are now greatly reduced. If you enjoy a good day trip, now is the
time.
Enjoy mellower parties. You’re
not going to get packed like a sardine at every venue and that can be a good
thing. Learn to enjoy a more chill atmosphere where you don’t wait forever for
drinks and no one is constantly bumping into you.
Become a regular. It’s time to pick
your favorite spot and crew up with people who know your name. The less people
around, the more they are recognizable.
Cozy up with a regular crew at a regular joint before the migrating hordes
return.
Stay somewhere new. Accommodation
prices are traditionally lowest this time of year, so if you want to stay at a
villa some ways off or just want to hotel it up for a weekend with friends, now
is the time.
