I simply handed the young guy $30 Australian cash (even giving him $5 in gold coins - no doubt someone will make some jewellery from it). I then apologised nicely - Maaf mas, tidak ada dolar Amerika (Sorry young man, I have no American dollars) and he laughed and sent me on my way with a smile.
Dunno but is it that we tend to get more ripped off the more ignorant and unprepared we are????
