Rupiah with many zeros, and the ride apps that run the country

The rupiah comes in large numbers; a hundred thousand is about the price of a meal for two at a warung. ATMs dispense in different note sizes depending on the machine (look for 100,000 or 50,000 signs); the bank-branded ones are safest from skimmers. Gojek and Grab cover rides, food delivery, and even massages in the cities, with fixed prices; in some Bali villages, local driver cooperatives block the apps, so expect to negotiate a fare there.
