Ok, you are accurate as always, but I just wanted to point out, for the benefit of all bros here, that
it is worth spending time walking around and ask the rate in many exchange booths.
As all experienced members here know well, we should never be lazy. Walk around and ask the rate. It is possible to get some significant additional money, if one does not change all money at the first place.
In my case last week, if I changed my 500 USD at first place in front of Lucky Plaza, I would have got 11300x500 = 5.650.000 IDR. After 20 minutes spent asking around in a dozen of places, I got 11750x500 = 5.875.000 IDR, that is +225.000 IDR (worth a seafood dinner, for example). The difference is not negligible. Being lazy costs.
I am sure the same principle applies on changing SGD.
