Currency

Finishing off on Bali, I will show you some currency. I did this in Dubai, as well.

First thing to notice is that it is about R10,000 to $1. Meaning, I took out millions of Indonesian Rupiah during our stay in Bali.



^ Sukarno and Suharto were dictators of Indonesia for decades. They haven't been gone long enough that their faces have been replaced by someone else. They were pretty brutal anti-Communists, so it was the kind of dictator that the US approved of.



^ Then there is this guy. He look suspiciously like the thugs which killed people in Maluku. I am sure it's something more innocuous than that, but that is what came to mind for me.
