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 I have looked at a number of different websites and they are either outdated or just advertise accommodation.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. 40 $ for two persons a day would be easily enough. for one person: -breakfast 0$ (included in the room rental) -lunch 2$ - dinner 3$ budget accomodation 4$ (for two people) buses about 8$ for a long distance ride visa on arrival (30 days) 25 $. departure fee 15$ the people in indonesia can be stressful.
