Sumatra , Indonesia travel budget?

Sumatra, Indonesia travel budget? Hello everybody, I am planning on going to Indonesia for three weeks over the Christmas period and am having trouble making a budget. I have looked at a number of different websites and they are either outdated or just advertise accommodation. The generally quoted figure is about US$20 per day per person. Is this figure accurate? I will be traveling with my girlfriend. I know that it is a big question but can you please let me know approximately: How much for food per day (2 persons) How much for reasonable budget accommodation per night Bus from Medan to Bukit lawang / lake toba Surprise payments (visa on arrival and stuff like that) Any ideas on jungle trekking or hiking to the top of a volcano or anything else that you think that a traveler to Sumatra should know? I know that it is monsoon season... Thank you for your answers I really do appreciate it

1. yup.. 20$ per person perday is enough food is about 5-6 per day for two people ( u and yourgirl friend ) accomodation pernight is depend on the hotel / motel u stay.. but ts about 10 - 15 per night in medan and becareful in theairport, some imigration officer sometimes ask for extra money ( please prepare the visa, passport , etc well ). if u go to medan, dont forget to go to brastagi
