Yeah, of course everybody want to minimize money usage nowdays...
I'm mean when we there, Indonesia we already rich... nothing to worried lah... just if the currency momentum unexpectedly changes so high volume, then it would not good...
I'm just worried about safety, even at the city got peragut, apalagi if you were low class side, since Indonesia living like this life style...
I'll be at Mangga Dua for sure, and you already placed a accommodation and guide...?
err,i wouldnt agree with that,if u say we are rich there because we are holding thousand,hundred thousand or million of rupiah instead of what we may hold in here then ur right, but bear in mind that not all things there is freaking cheap!clothes,foods, and many other stuff is sometimes not different then us.
About safety,yes in this world is hard to tell either it save or not as bad guys is just everywhere and we hardly see them.But dont be so prejudice to them as most of them is nice,friendly and sincere,last time i saw a maling(thief) who snatched a handbags been beaten by the crowd

.It shows that they didnt accept this kind of act in their country.Just be carefull with ur personal belongings.Avoid too many crowds and avoid bus transportation(except Busway bus) as maling are most likely there.
Normally i stayed in Kuningan area,there is a student accommodation which is opened to guest.Cheap,clean and comfortable.Maybe this time ill stayed in Cikini or Glodok area which i didnt decided yet..

If want to go to taman mini, you could take bus to Rambutan. Then hook on to a mini van to Taman Mini (around 2k rupiah only). IF you go from town area, can tell the bus driver (bus to Rambutan) that u want to visit Tmn.Mini, they could just drop you nearby the entrance.
Come out from Taman Mini, you can go back to Rambutan by taxi (use meter, blue bird taxi will do) to take bus to town. Anyway, last time i had very bad experience waiting for bus at Rambutan Bus Terminal, wait for nearly an hour for a bus to go to Senayan area...... Next time i would rather just use the taxi to go back to town.
thanks there pal..appreciate ur help so much
