Endeavor 96th International Selection Panel in Bali, Indonesia

Om Swastiastu!

Welcome to Bali, the Island of the Gods!

Out of the 17,500 islands in Indonesia, Bali stands out with its distinctive cultural heritage. From art, music, dance, and culinary, to even metalworking, Bali is rich in traditional culture that is still celebrated today.

The majority of Balinese people are followers of Balinese Hinduism, and their beliefs can be seen not only in religious places like temples (pura), but also in everyday life. Offerings (canang) can be found everywhere, from homes to shops and street corners.

The people of Bali are also known for their hospitality and friendly demeanor, so please respect their culture and appreciate their kindness.

Bali is the most famous touristic destination in Indonesia, and for good reason.. While the island is well-known for its beautiful beaches, there are many other natural attractions to explore, such as exotic volcanoes and lush green rice fields that will delight your eyes.

Please enjoy your stay in Bali! With so many things to see and do, you're sure to have a wonderful time on this beautiful island. Take a stroll along the beaches, hike up the mountains for stunning views, or immerse yourself in the local culture by visiting some of Bali's famous temples and historical landmarks. And don't forget to try some of the delicious local cuisine while you're here!

We can't wait to meet you! But, before that....

There are a few Travel and Visa Regulations you need to be aware of. 90+ nationalities can obtain a Visa on Arrival (at the airport or online).

ASEAN countries don't need a visa. All other travelers still need a Visitor Visa B211A (apply before arrival).

Travelers must be fully vaccinated (2 shots or 1 J&J). Starting from January 2023, all COVID related travel restrictions (PPKM measures) regarding tests and masks have been lifted by the president. As of 9th of June, travelers do NOT need to show proof of vaccination anymore. However the Indonesian government "suggests" to be fully vaccinated. Please check Visa & Travel Regulations in details:

Credit card is widely accepted but carry-on cash always comes in handy for many situations Read more about Methods of Payments in Bali

Travel & Covid Regulations

Get your roaming plan ready for Google Maps or a super app like Grab. For local SIM card, we recommend Telkomsel (available at the airport) for its most stable and widest signal coverage.

In Indonesia, the water is commonly used for cleaning purposes. Bali's plumbing system is not designed to handle toilet paper, so it is generally not recommended to flush it.

Download Grab app here. We'll explain more on page 05

You'll encounter many warm smiles all over Bali. We are generally very friendly and open towards any guests

We hope you remain safe and healthy during your stay, but in case of an emergency, please see the numbers below.

Main Emergency = 112 (like 911)

Ambulance = 118

Police = 110

Fire Dept. 113

Search & Rescue = 111, 115, 151

Dialing Procedure

If you have a mobile with Local SIM dial first 0361 (South Bali)

If you have an International SIM dial first +62 361 Via Landline dial directly the emergency number.

Many times, it will be faster to get a cab, GrabCar, etc, to go to the nearest hospital or medical centre than calling an ambulance. The Balinese are always ready to help. So, if you are in an emergency, don’t hesitate to ask for assistance!

Getting �� Around ��

Upon arrival at Ngurah Rai International Airport, be sure to book transportation in advance from the hotel where you are staying OR use the Grab rideshare app to book a ride when you arrive. Visit the Grab Lounge for assistance with booking and finding your ride (directions below).

Prior to your departure, download the Grab app, a mobile app that allows you to order transportation and food delivery.

Operating in eight countries across Southeast Asia, this app allows payment (by credit card) from different countries, allowing you to use your original mobile number without needing to purchase a local Indonesian SIM card.

How to Grab Lounge at Ngurah Rai International Airport

1. From the Baggage Claim area, head towards the exit by following signs to “Airport Ground Transport”

Weather ☀

Due to Bali’s proximity to the equator, it enjoys a tropical climate. This Indonesian island has a distinct rainy season brought on by the western monsoon, although the maximum temperatures remain consistent throughout the year.

The average temperature in Bali during July ranges from around 22°C to 31°C (71°F to 89°F) with an average humidity of 80%.

Even though it's dry season, Bali does experience some rainfall in July, primarily in the form of lightning-spurred thunderstorms or brief afternoon showers. These showers can provide a pleasant break from the heat.

Packing ��

Bali is a tropical paradise, so make sure you pack comfortable, lightweight clothing that can absorb sweat. Casual styles are more than welcome, as long as you're feeling confident and stylish! We also recommend all attendees pack layers for indoor sessions as the AC may be strong.

Don't forget to pack your sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect you from the intense Bali sun.

And speaking of protection, make sure your phone is fully charged and ready to go so you can easily navigate around Bali using GPS.

Balinese DON'Ts ��

As you walk down the Balinese streets you’ll notice tiny fragrant parcels made from palm leaves everywhere. They are gifts called 'canang' designed to appease the Gods. Be careful where you walk: there’s nothing more disrespectful than stepping on something meant for the Gods.

Do not touch monkeys or other wildlife. Macaques in popular tourist areas like Ubud and the sea temple at Uluwatu are active and sneaky thieves. They will snatch sunglasses off your head and mobile phones out of your hands. Keep your belongings inside a bag.

It’s best not to drink the tap water in Bali, but this shouldn’t be too much of an inconvenience as bottled water is cheap and plentiful. Carrying your own water bottle is also recommended. If you are staying at the Potato Head, one will be provided to you.

Do not touch the head of a Balinese person. It is considered to be the most sacred part of the human body and touching it is to defile it. This includes kids and babies.

Don't walk on the streets without proper clothing or ride a bike in your swimwear. This is fine for the boat, beach or poolside but always throw on a shirt, shorts or sarong when hitting the streets, shops, a café or restaurant. The Balinese are modest in their dress so you may risk a ticket from the police.

Balinese DOs ��

Wholeheartedly respect the customs, traditions, arts, culture, and local wisdom of the Balinese people during ongoing ceremonial processions and rituals.

Observe one of many ceremonies that you are likely to come across. It is not considered rude, so feel free to watch the locals. Do not sit higher than the locals. If they are seated on the ground, you should follow suit.

Ensure you learn some basic local languages. Two languages are spoken in Bali - the local dialect (Balinese) and the national language (Indonesian). Most foreigners tend to pick up some Indonesian language rather than Balinese, as it allows them to communicate with locals beyond just Bali.

Make sure you barter with compassion. If you want to souvenir shop in Bali, especially in street markets, negotiating the price is expected. Be polite and courteous in your approach. Remember that saving a couple bucks can provide a meal for a local household.

Exchange foreign currency at authorized money changers (both banks and non-banks) that are officially licensed and display the authorization number and QR code from Bank Indonesia.

"Halo, Apa Kabar?"

Even though there are two languages spoken in Bali, knowing a few words in Balinese goes a long way! The residents love it when visitors make an effort to learn and communicate in their mother tongue. Here are some basic words you can start practicing during the upcoming trip:

ENGLISH INDONESIAN BALINESE

Good Morning/ Afternoon/ Night

Selamat Pagi/ Siang/ Malam Rahajeng Semeng/ Tengai/ Wengi

How are you? Apa kabar? Punapi gatra?

I'm sorry/ pardon Mohon maaf Ampura

Thank you

Terima kasih Matur suksma

How are you? Apa kabar? Punapi gatra?

Tolong Tulung

How much is this? Berapa harganya? Aji kuda niki?

Where is... Dimana... Dija…

Do you speak English?

I want to order... Saya mau pesan... Tiang jagi numbas …

Don't make it too spicy Jangan terlalu pedas Sampunang lalah
