Bali 2010 some helpful information
Arrival: Bali's airport is at Denpasar, close to tourist beaches and shopping.Taxi, van or mini bus are available from the airport for varying prices.Time of travel to Ubud is approximately 1.5 hours.
There is a fixed price, pre paid Taxi Office outside the arrivals at the airport.This is well priced and no hassle.
You may need to change some money at the airport so take time to check the rates offered. Change a round figure and once changed, before walking away, check that you have the right amount even if they count it in front of you.
If you are planning to arrive in Bali before the start of your course, you might like to spend a few days on the beach. The Kuta area is quite hectic. The further up the beach you go the quieter it gets. Ask your travel agent for suggestions and possibly book a hotel before you travel.
Passport: You will also need a passport with a minimum of 6 months validity to enter Indonesia.
A 30 day visa will be issued on arrival for $25 US dollars.
