I'm starting to warm to Bali a bit, but only since it's starting to become what I initally sought out -- a point of transit and a place where I can leave my shit while I explore the rest of Indo.

The only place we endured anything like what you're describing was in Kuta Beach. The remainder of the island, north to south, east to west, was warm and welcoming and friendly --- almost fair, even, if once got a few paces off the tourist drag. Kuta itself didn't completely suck if you walked out past the tourist districts. So I'm wondering: Are you living in Kuta? Do you have to? Or has the island changed so much?

ATM machines are programmed to re-insert the card automatically when left in the slot. Unless someone nabbed it literally seconds after you walked away it is quite probable it is stored in the machine itself. Yeah, I've done it before. Did you check with the bank?
