Exchanging Money at the Airport: Is This Rate Fair?

Finally, we're in London! I can't believe it!

Akhirnya kita sampai di London! Nggak percaya rasanya!

Okay, let's grab some cash before we leave.

Oke, kita ambil uang tunai dulu sebelum pergi.

Look, there's a currency exchange right over there.

Lihat, ada tempat penukaran uang di sebelah sana.

Hmm, airport booths aren't always cheap, you know.

Hmm, tempat tukar uang di bandara nggak selalu murah, lho.

Oh, come on, it's just a little money!

Ah, ayolah, cuma sedikit uang kok!

Good evening! How can I help you today?

Selamat malam! Ada yang bisa saya bantu?

Hi! I'd like to change three hundred dollars, please.

Halo! Saya mau menukar 300 dolar.

Sure. Today's exchange rate is sixty-eight pence to the dollar.

Baik. Kurs hari ini 68 pence per dolar.

Sixty-eight? Okay... and is there any commission?

68? Oke... terus ada biaya komisinya?

There's also a fixed commission of fifteen pounds.

Ada juga komisi tetap 15 pound.

Wait, so I only get one hundred and eighty-nine pounds?

Tunggu, jadi saya cuma dapat 189 pound?

Ugh, that's a terrible rate! The real rate is much higher.

Duh, kursnya parah banget! Kurs aslinya jauh lebih tinggi.

I'm sorry, but airport rates are always a bit higher.

Maaf, tapi tukar uang di bandara memang selalu sedikit lebih mahal.

Oh no. So is this rate fair or not?

Aduh. Jadi kurs ini wajar atau nggak?

Okay, don't worry. Let's just use a cash machine instead.

Oke, tenang aja. Kita pakai ATM saja.

But won't my bank charge me fees abroad?

Tapi bank aku nggak kena biaya kalau di luar negeri?

Maybe a small fee, but the rate is much better.

Mungkin ada biaya kecil, tapi kursnya jauh lebih bagus.

Oh, and my card has no foreign fees at all!

Oh, dan kartuku sama sekali nggak ada biaya luar negeri!

Really? Then why didn't you say so earlier?

Serius? Terus kenapa nggak bilang dari tadi?

Actually, I'll just change fifty dollars for now.

Sebenarnya, saya tukar 50 dolar saja dulu.

No problem. Would you like small notes?

Tidak masalah. Mau pecahan kecil?

Yes, please. Small notes for the bus would be great.

Iya, boleh. Pecahan kecil buat naik bus pas banget.

And could I have a receipt, please?

Dan boleh minta struknya?

Of course. Here's your money and your receipt.

Tentu. Ini uang dan struknya.

Right, now it's asking about currency. Be careful here.

Nah, sekarang dia nanya soal mata uang. Hati-hati di sini.

Um, should I pay in dollars or in pounds?

Hmm, aku bayar pakai dolar atau pound?

Always choose pounds. Choosing dollars gives you a worse rate.

Selalu pilih pound. Kalau pilih dolar, kursnya lebih jelek.

Really? That's such a sneaky trick!

Serius? Licik banget triknya!

Wow, the bank rate is way better than the booth!

Wah, kurs bank jauh lebih bagus daripada di loket tadi!

See? We saved about twenty pounds right there.

Tuh, kan? Kita hemat sekitar 20 pound di situ.

Okay, you were right. Next time, no airport booths.

Oke, kamu benar. Lain kali, nggak usah tukar uang di bandara.

Great. Now, let's go and find that bus!

Sip. Sekarang ayo cari busnya!
