20 rupees in India

It's official, I am broke in India. There are only 20 rupees in my wallet now. It's kinda funny, the most valuable thing in my wallet is... well, the wallet itself.

I didn't change enough rupees before I arrived here. I was like ah ok, I am not going to pay cash when I dine most of the time, taking a cab won't cost that much... right? Right?

Wrong.

Chartering a car costs 1200 rp every day. The trip downtown costs me 2000 rp. I only had 4000+ rp to start of with. The drivers only accept cash. (Well they are not Comfort which can install credit card POS in the cars.)

Now I need to find money to pay for my ride to the airport tomorrow. My colleague is broke too.

Meanwhile, let's have a contest. What can I do with 20 rp in India? The most creative answer... gets 1 rp as a reward. I'll make do with the 19 rp. :-D
