In ani money chger,always check at least few nearby shps for quotes IF U WANT to get the better rate. i'm not implyin tat u shld go hunt 4 the best rate all ovr btm,but more of if u stayed in formosa,just go opp there ask a few shps,cos it won't cause any1 to drop 1 stray of hair. Money chger shp usually only jus a few steps away frm each other. Max time taken is jus few secs thg.

i check on 21 july rate @ opp formosa is 9650,so if u chg 100 sing,the variance btw yr rate & the 1 at opp formosa,its 10k diff. If u chg 200 is 20k diff. If u stay 3D2N u probably chg abt 500,tat'd be abt 50k extra. No need 4 me to spell wat u can do w 50k rp xtra in btm.

Fery terminal & shoppin mall's variance btw small downtown money changer shp is usually 100rp to 200rp for 1 sing $ diff. Every exchg gives u 10k-20k extra for 100 sing $.

Only thg u better not do is, dn't blur blur specially go take taxi/ojek 2 opp formosa jus to chg money frm there. Tat'd reli be a stupid move. Go 4 those shps where u stay close by to & at yr convenient free time w easier access. Whole trick is,approach places tat has a whole stretch of money chger within sight bcs w competition,rate shld usually be better & ask at least 3 shps 4 their rates.
