A. You can walk around and there are cheap restaurants that cater to drivers and workers. There is also a Max's restaurant just across from Roxas Boulevard. Mall of Asia is quite a walk.

A. Destination: Indonesia would do. It's a big country with fabulous sights worthy of a visit. If you want to save money, don't stay in Jakarta or Bali. These are places where you can have a great holiday on a budget:
-Lombok (island east of Bali that's more tranquil and just as beautiful. ask around for guided tours to historical temples and ruins of ancient kingdoms, watch traditional "sendratari"'s [dance drama musical] and eat local food)
-Tana Toraja (a tribe in Southern Sulawesi with very unique mystical culture... search on internet to find out more). Not very far from the Toraja area live another tribe called the Bugis, a tribe historically famous for being far-travelling pirates. Apparently the English word "bogeyman" was derived from the name of this tribe.
-Ambon (Moluccan Islands, historically aka spice islands... Ambon has the most beautiful crystal-clear sea and is a popular destination for scuba divers)
-Yogyakarta (South-central Java, a province in the form of a kingdom. Visit the Sultan's palace and museums that talk about the royal family's history. Hike up to Borobudur and Prambanan, one of the world's biggest Buddhist and Hindu temples. Catching a live Sendratari Ramayana at the open air Prambanan theater is a must. Eat street food: must try gudeg. Ride "becak" [pedicab] or "andong" [horse carriage] down the streets of Malioboro and bargain with souvenir peddlers there)
-Padang/Minang (province in Western Sumatera famous for being adherent Muslims but having a female-dominated culture--their surnames are maternal! must see their beautiful architecture, watch their dynamic traditional dances, and try the famous Padang cuisine)
Stay: In Lombok you may be able to get away with a local "melati" hotel (non-star) but in other places I recommend sticking to a budget world-known chain such as Quality Inn or Ibis.
Safety: Wear an old baseball cap, sunglasses, and light long-sleeved shirts so people don't immediately notice that you are a foreigner. Wear flip-flops and clothes that aren't expensive, avoid wearing jewellery and carrying thick wallets with money popping out of them. Don't answer your mobile phone when you're caught in a traffic jam or walking in the street--set it on silent and pretend you don't have it. I always abide by these rules in Indonesia and I've never had a problem.
Cheap flights: try Gulf Air, China Air, or Garuda Indonesia. Once you get to Indonesia there will be many cheap regional flights like Lion Air--you can travel Jakarta-Yogyakarta (1 hr flight) for about the equivalent of $25-30 retour. Check www.wikipedia.org for a complete list of regional Indonesian airlines.
Budget: hotel not included, set Rp150.000-Rp200.000 per day (Indonesian Rupiah, IDR) Approximately Rp10.000 (ten thousand) to US$1. Check http://www.xe.com for current exchange rates.
