Visiting Bali on a budget
May 26th
Bali, is one of the tourists most point of interest islands. If you are an Indonesian citizen, don’t you ever skip this goddess island. How on earth do the people from other countries willing to fly far away to visit Bali, and we, the domestic people skip it?
Bali traveling costs a lot? Depends on how you travel… as usual, in UniquelyIndonesia, we will show you how to travel to Bali on budget.
Transportation : This might be the most cost spent. We can reach Bali via land or sky. Your time and energy worth more, so my suggestion is to use airplane to save the time. Some airlines offer the savvy ticket fare in the condition, you book the tickets away before you fly. Some even require up to 7 months prior. We recommend: AirAsia airlines.
Place to buy souvenir at Bali
May 10th
When you visit Bali, probably you want to buy handicraft, souvenirs or gifts for your friends or family, we recommend several place to buy :
Art Shop Kuta. Along of street to Kuta beach, you’ll find a lot of art shop that displays handicraft. But you have to bargain here, ask the price for half price even 1/4 from the price they offered. Don’t be hesitate, just ask for lower price. And if you do have time, just compare to other shop to make sure the price is right.
