INdonesia: money, money, money

Indonesia is one of the unique countries in South-East Asia for having the rupiah as the basic currency unit that is not divisible into smaller units. Unlike in the Philipines, for example, one Peso is equal to 100 centavos. The exchange rate during my visit was 5pesos= 1,000 rupiahs.

You could emagine how excited I was to get hold of millions of bucks for the first time in my life! I was originally thinking of taking my pictures sleeping on these bills......
