Safety advice is always take a photocopy of your passport with you, need not lug along the original passport for chionging. Secondly if get caught without, then be steady and calm. "Pak, damai, damai" (make peace) and start negotiation. Few years back I could get away with 50,000 rupiah to rescue my Korea bro. Not sure about market rate now.
Chiong, and be safe !  |
Bro,
just a question, is it safe to offer "make peace" and nego
with the cops?
Are we breaking any laws?
If we nego with police, would get in trouble with the law?
