Here is the low-down on what things cost Pappi here in Indonesia.
I took out a million Rupiahs the other day!

Indonesia uses the Rupiah as its currency
$1 USD = 9,299 IDR
1 million Rupiahs = $107.52 USD
The local average daily wage in Indonesia is about $2 USD

Private room in a cheap hotel with a fan 20-45,000 IDR = $2.15 - 4.83 USD
Large beer in a bar (649ML)17,000 IDR = $1.82
Small beer in a bar (12 oz)10,000 IDR = $1.07
*Its a Muslium country so you can only buy beer in tourist resturants.
Cheap meal in a resturant 7-9,000 IDR = $0.75 - 0.96 USD
1 hour on a bus = about $1 USD
24 hour motorbike rental 50,000 IDR = $5.50 USD
This hour of internet 5,000 IDR = $0.53

My average daily daily budget = $17 USD
