The rupiah has done some spectacular gymnastics: ... over the years. When I first went there it was 800rph or so to the $ Au. At one point a few years ago the rupiah reached 9000 to the $Au. So it is not difficult to understand the original motivation for charging $US dollars, because at the...

Bert what kind of computer literacy or general intelligence, is required. I am no travel agent, nor computer fancy pants but I can turn my computer on by myself mostly, and like to help out people who wear funny hats. My favourite funny hat I bought in Bandung in Jawa from the local Sate guy...
