Total

Breakdown
Total Spending for Transportation 380.5
Total Spending for food 273.5
Total Spending for tourism object 14
Total Spending for Shopping 230
Total 897

Okay, to be honest, I planned to spend 300K per person, means there's a 297 excess
or 150K over-spending per person

The mistake that we made were : Shopping, if we didnt shop, we only over spent 67K, which is acceptable I think, hehehe...
However budget for shopping should be put on your list, and cut back on everything else
What also miss-calculated was our transportation, IT Team spent 304.5 K for transportation JKT - BDG back and forth. and 75K for public transportation in Bandung, thats almost 380K in total...! so much better if we bring a car...although the experience would be so much different hehehe...

So this is what you can do to cut back
Total Spending for Transportation 380.5 --> bring car cost only 250 (incl. gas & toll fare)
Total Spending for food 273.5 --> we ate too much, we could survive with 200 only
Total Spending for tourism object 14 --> acceptable, since most places are free of charge
Total Spending for Shopping 230 --> dont cut your shopping budget!!! hehehe

Total money you could save : IDR 204K
Total Spending : IDR 693K or IDR 346.5K per person

Okay, still over-spend 93K, whether you like it or not, let's cut the shopping budget
that means you can only spend : 137K or 68.5K per person for shopping
Gud luck with that (or we can change the budget to 350K???? ehehehe)

Tips :
Make sure you've charged your camera battery
Bring lots of bottled water
Try not to eat at a restaurant all the time
Plan your route efficiently
Shop only for the things you needed...

Have a great vacation, and be wise with your money...
