1 Million just doesn't buy much any more

A million Rupiah!
Tell'em they're dreaming.
Oh!
it's only $100 Australian dollar (AUD) as 1 Australian dollar is worth 10,000 Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)
It's very confusing.
But prices here are much cheaper so $100 will still buy you a lot more here than it would in Australia.
Top class accommodation could cost IDR 1 Million a night whereas you'd probably pay AUD$500 a night in Australia.
But for most things prices are usually in the 10s or 100s of thousands which seem expensive but aren't really.
45,000 IDR is only AUD $4.50 but my brain wants to think it's AUD $45. It's quite difficult to automatically divide by 10,000.
But then shops often advertise things as 45k, meaning 45 thousand Rupiah. So again my brain automatically goes to AUD$45 not $4.50 and I have to adjust my brain.
This picture helps but I need it affixed to my glasses so I can see it every time I shop.Читать далее
