A few Bali hints for people arriving early -
Joana, there are taxis that charge you too much, but Bali is very cheap. If the fee is reasonable get your hotel to organise a pick up for you to be safer.
Not sure whether all visas are same cost ($USD25 for me) , but I think all are in US dollars. So to save time at airport bring some US dollars cash with you.
If you want to experience Bali, get out of Nusa Dua which is basically almost a gated community. Avoid Kuta unless you want to spend your time with drunken Australians.
If you want an adventure, google the bike rides from the volcano. Downhill all the way, great ride, easy pedalling. If you have time experience Ubud at the artistic centre and some of the north of the island. Sanur is close by and a quieter beach/shopping alternative to Kuta.
Looking forward to seeing everyone and wish I had organised more time to experience Bali again. When you get away from the Kuta/Nusa Dua areas you can experience a very beautiful animist culture which I hope everyone gets some experience of.

Sims are cheap and easily available
The visa rate probably varies depending on your country

Hi thanks for this heads up Robert.
I thought the visa on arrival was 10USD so it's good to know. I would be curious as to how much the sim cards cost. I will be at the Kuta Beach Heritage Resort. Wondering where everyone is staying. I should be there on Saturday night.
Kind Regards,
Sala

Just arrived in Bali . A few quick notes for those arriving in the next few days for the IGF
- view is quite scenic flying into Bali. Get a window seat to get the best view
- Bali airport is undergoing renovations . All quite orderly, but construction makes the waiting areas a bit smaller
- visa on arrival fee was 25 $ usd for me
- after you collect your luggage, it gets xrayed and then you pass through customs, and exit to the arrivals section of the airport
- there are numerous ATM machines in the arrival area (past customs ) and 1 or 2 mobile company booths (where one can get sims ). I didn't inquire as to cost, through
- even though it's over, the APEC leaders summit signs are still up as is the free APEC airport wifi :)
Hope these tips are helpful
