The threatened change in Indonesian visas was put into effect a few days ago.
Now, tourist visas are only for 30 days (non-extendable as before) and cost $25
(or $10 for less than three days' stay).  Penalty for overstaying your visa is
$25 per day!

My wife (ukrainian) and I (italian) soon we'll be in Guangzhou (PRC).
We both already applied for the PRC's Visa (tourist-single-entry).
During our chinese stay we also planned to spend a couple of days to
discover HK (that my wife never visited before).
