Come to think about it, the people i try to interact least with in Batam (or Indonesia) is the police. I would rather face a robber, a pickpocket ,a bag snatcher,then a policeman (or any of them from any authorities,eg custom officers,army in uniform etc) in Indonesia.

Same applies for when i am in Malaysia,hehehe...

Now above 10k/$ it becomes 5digits
E.g. 11015
Normally the opening quote would be 1xxx0 e.g. 10950 for NAGOYA main road.
If at carrot area like in mall/ferryTerminal..the first quote could be 1xx00 e.g. 10900 ,11000

When bargaining ...
Then they add more significant digit.
to improve their competitiveness.
Usually the extra 5rp will came up if they know you changin big amount..
Almost 5 years going to Batam,i have changed 10550/SGD (illustrated amount) in Batam ,but never 10551,10552,10553,10554,10555 per SGD etc (illustrated amount) before,likewise in Singapore. Which is why i am curious about how you guys manage to get that kind of rate.
