Hi! Will be leaving for Jakarta soon. Can anybody please tell me how much I should have for food to survive for a month (until end of July)?
I'm bringing toiletries for my 1st month, but would you mind giving me an idea (a girl, preferably) as to how much a month's girly supply of toiletries costs?

Remember - Local people have to live here too and they don't usually make anything like an expat salary.
You should have few problems.

I doubt it'll be more than a million a month.
Except if you constantly buy makeup from intl brands, which I don't recommend. Better pick up a few things at your airport first!
