If you are staying in a nice hotel, eat somewhere else and
you will save a lot of money. We ate at a nice restaurant
called the Jukung in Nusa Dua, for example dinner of mixed
pork, beef, and chicken sate with rice for two along with
four arak attacks (rice brandy, sprite and lime) was about
80,000 rupiah, about $15.Can. A sarong will run you on average
20000 rupiah ($4), a carved crocodile wood mask about 30,000 ($6),
a huge multicoloured sailing ship kite was 30,000 ($6), the local
beer, Bintang or Anchor will run you about 8000 rupiah. Hope this
helps. We spent on average about $75Can a day, and that was for
lunch, dinner, tips, souvenirs, daily massages, and drivers. An
air conditioned van with a driver was 200000 for an eight hour day
($40). It is cheaper if you just hire a car. Hope this helps.
