Indonesia surprises you with its sheer range - 12 cities and thousands of islands. The most affordable is Lombok ($66/month), the most expensive is Denpasar ($790/month). Tourist-heavy Bali runs noticeably pricier than Java on the mainland. Even so, plenty of long-term travelers choose to base themselves on Bali - the atmosphere, the landscapes, and the culture make it hard to leave. Indonesia is the world's largest Muslim-majority archipelago, but Bali is the one exception: it's the country's only Hindu island. That single fact explains why everything about Bali - the food, the ceremonies, the pace of daily life - feels completely unlike the rest of Indonesia.
