When I lived in New Zealand, I bought a laptop and a professional manual camera (CANON). The main reason I bought them was the thought that it was a right time for me to buy something that I really want to have without my mom’s permission. Hehehe…
After I’ve arrived in Jakarta and stayed here for approximately 3 months, I felt really satisfied about my decision to buy those electronic devices in New Zealand I think the thought that the price of electronic device in New Zealand is more expensive than in Jakarta, is not true at all.
I just figure out that the salary in Jakarta and the price of goods is not balanced. It is not like in New Zealand, I think it’s quite balanced. For example: I worked part time at hotel, and to buy a professional manual camera, I need to work approximately 2 months and a half. And the job that I got is only 15 hours per weeks. I believe if I bought this camera in Jakarta, I need to work 3 months or more for a full time job !!!!
And then, I also realized that the ticket price of 21 cineplex is quite unreasonable. When I am in NZ (again), to buy the most expensive ticket, I need to work approximately one hour and a half. That’s it. But in Jakarta, I need to work more than two hours.
What do you think about this? I think this would be happened to anybody who has salary in rupiah. It would be a different to anyone who works in Jakarta but earns salary in dollar. hehehehe
