Telephone & Post in Bali
In Bali the post office is called ‘kantor pos’ and is recognized by an orange sign. In the Kuta area the 2 largest post offices are located close to the airport on Jl. Airport Ngurah Rai and in Tuban on Jl. Raya Tuban. When picking up a package from overseas you will most likely receive a note directing you to one of these two places.

Bali is somewhat of a backwater as far as business in concerned, but is a major tourist destination. A dozen or so foreign consulates are based in the Denpasar / Sanur area in Bali, which is great for tourists, expats and foreign criminals who require assistance.

ATMs in Bali
Bali is stacked with ATM machines which is good for the local economy and good for tourists. The days of visiting banks and money changers, spending half an hour filling out forms to get $20 are over. Now whether you are in Kuta, Denpasar, Lovina or Nusa Dua, you can access your cash 24/7. As globalization spreads, efficient ways of doing things become the norm. Bank cards issued overseas that have the Star, Cirrus, Maestro, etc. symbols will be able to access the ATMs of local banks.

Responsible tourism in Bali
Bali attracts a wide variety of people, with entirely different interests and cultural backgrounds. Its hard to write a set of rules everyone should abide by, because something simple like being outgoing, or being upfront, things appreciated in the US and Australia, can seem rude to people from other cultures.
