In Reply to: How much money for 16 days? posted by ChelseaRose on Saturday, 2. January 2010 at 11:57 Bali Time:
When we took our then 13 year old son back in 1997 he took about $500 for 12 days. We paid for all his meals, drinks trips etc. He spent most of it a few days after we arrived in one day as he saw a lovely guitar and bought it. He was happy to do that and he still had a great holiday. Take as much as you can because if you don't spend it all you can bring it back and start saving for the next trip. T-Shirts vary from Rp30,000, sunnie Rp20,000, DVD's Rp10,000 and there are lots of lovely girly hair stuff that is really cheap. So if you have an idea of what you will buy you can work out a daily amount to allow. If you check the archives this is price list to give you an idea of costs.
