I was kind of curious on the 2 different Vesak day dates in the 2 countries too.
Now i learned something. No wonder a lot of hotels from 6th to 14th May received much higher occupancy rate than most other normal days. Next year around this month,i will try to avoid (or at least check the calendar beforehand if I were to head there,hehehe...).
More people,lesser bargaining power. Things will be more expensive and service industry standard will drop. Not counting lesser in 'choice of dishes'.

Its from Telkomsel.
Those were some things i learned from them. Sim card cost 10k,top up was 50k (plus 2k).
Every 5k top up gives me 1 points and with those points,i get discount vouchers for selected restaurants and surprisingly,even free movie tickets from theater in Harbour Bay too. They have an interesting package deal that gives me 100min talk time for 50k within 7 days when i call from Sillypore to any part of Indonesia too. Its what 1st drew me to it.
Remember,I mention some tissue box i wish to buy few days back,and i didnt know where to buy it from. A kind bro pointed me to the direction of Ace hardware,and tho i havent got it yet,i am already prepared to buy it from Ace with my 50k and/or 100k discount voucher.
I think there is even a 30% off from Bento Tei Japanese restaurant too,hehehe...my next trip during Ramadan will be fun (at least i knew where to find my kind of fun today).
I just find it quite interesting to use my spending to pay for my spending,hehehe...not exactly 'free'.
