In Reply to: The US$ issue of paying for hotels ?? posted by luvthe NT on Thursday, 15. October 2009 at 18:01 Bali Time:
they told me, if I checked out today, they would charge me 9490 rupiah to the yankee dollar. Looking on Oanda.com... the rate was 9230, so over a week, it will cost an extra $20au (approx). I think there is only a problem when hotels blatantly inflate the rupiah vs $us for their own again. I note don Tripadvisor, that someone in Ubud had been charged 12,000 rupiah to the $us.... that's just wrong!! I'm thinking of going to the Post office and getting commission free $us to pay for the accomodation
