Bro DDAMn, good point raised however the price of cheonging is still very subjective and really depend on a case by case basis.

Below are 2 examples of comparison between before devaluation and after devaluation.

1) 2 years back, before devalue was 7000 and after devalue was about 9000.

At that time,massage + hj/roam = 80k + 150k = 230k = 230000/7000 = $32.85

Right now, massage + hj/roam = 80k + 200k = 280k = 280000/9000 =$31.11

2) 10 years back, before devalue was 4900 and after devalue was about 9000

At that time, book cewek per night maybe is 300k = 300000/4900 = $61.22

Right now, book cewek per night minimum 500k = 500000/9000 = $55.55

However we must also note that even though if the prices (before and after devalue) remain about the same (like the case no. 1).

After a long period of time, in fact we have actually benefited already as the value of last time dollar is always bigger than the value of today's dollar of the same amount....

Therefore do a pre-calculation expenditure before cheong could help you decide whether which service is worth spending taken into account of the devaluation of rupiah and price increase of the cewek.....
