In Bali, the sun shines all year round, the sea pleases the eye with azure shades, and the sandy beaches invite you to rest and relax. People come here to escape from the stress and frenzied rhythm of big cities, gloomy skies and gloomy atmosphere. Sometimes they stay here forever - after all, living in Bali is not only pleasant, but also inexpensive. It is quite possible to meet 20,000 rubles without denying yourself entertainment and pleasures.
Lodging
There are several types of accommodation available for rent in Bali. The cheapest one will cost 5-8 thousand rubles a month. This type of dwelling is called a kos or pondoc and is a small, square room with a low ceiling. The toilet and bathroom will be private, but the kitchen will have to be shared with other residents of the house. More expensive options are accompanied by a small pool and a small gym.
A spacious room with a high ceiling, a large veranda, a balcony and its own small kitchenette costs about 10,000 rubles a month. In the shared courtyard, you can take a dip in the pool or relax on the patio.
Of course, there are also expensive options in Bali - luxury villas on the ocean. Their cost can be up to 80-90 thousand rubles.
Food
The groceries in Bali's supermarkets are inexpensive. Here you can find European chain supermarkets and small convenience stores. Fresh vegetables and fruits cost a penny by Russian standards, and most of the products are natural, and therefore very tasty.
Varungs are popular in Bali. These are small catering establishments where simple but tasty food is prepared. Eating in warungs is even cheaper than at home - you will have to pay only 70-80 rubles for a full meal with rice, chicken or beef. In the usual European-style establishments, it is more expensive.
In total, it costs 3-4 thousand rubles for food per month. This is surely enough for a delicious, complete menu.
Entertainment
Bali's main entertainment - the ocean - is free. But you won't have to spend a lot in entertainment establishments either. Nightclub lovers will find their concentration in the central regions of Bali. There are music bars, cafes, discos with famous DJs. For a night, you can keep within 300 rubles, but it is better to be careful not to spend too much.
Almost all expats surf in Bali. Some even move here just to catch a wave. To learn how to stand professionally on the board, you will have to hire an instructor and practice at least several times a week. Classes will begin with theory and continue in the ocean. After the first lessons, mistakes will be explained to you, and after 4-5 lessons you can confidently surf. One lesson costs about 1000 rubles. Renting a board will cost 400-600 rubles, purchase - 4000-5000.
Transport
A bus ticket costs about 10 rubles per trip. Get ready for a long drive and traffic jams in the heat. But you can get anywhere in Bali.
Immigrants from Europe and America prefer to travel on rented scooters or bikes. The rent will cost 3500-5000 rubles. Petrol is very cheap here - from 30 rubles per liter.
