Massage 82 is a booking joint. Not normal MP.
Price range from 400k to 1.5juta.

Booking joint always use massage or karaoke as name.
If opt for massage, normally they give to the MIF as they usually don't have booking. Joint willl push them some job. Most of the gals is send there by agent. So sometime they received MILF stock.

For short time with the SYT will normally cost 300k, also depend on her normal booking price.
Recently some SYT just join back 82, they work there before, left there and go back there again. But joint promo them as new arrival stock, price at 800k and 1juta.

Btw the infamous kuai lan papi botak, is no more in 82, instead now he operate canteen in Berry Indah. Sell food to joint cewek.

haha.. yalor. but hope i can go.. if i confirm go, i will go with a friends:D

You forgot to add "Sell food to joint cewek at ridiculous price.

Re: Batam Info Thread
 

This place is more for pick up than massage. Indah2, new flamingo, berry indah, new berlian, and a new one next to new berlian( forgot the name), all pick up joints.

You can have short time there, but service is not as good as massage parlours. Most of those who cant make it( CMI) work for short time. Those who are SYT, can get high price for booking out work downstairs to be picked up.

That botak no longer working in Massage 82? hahaha.

Big thanks for the map. Have any of you cheongster dudes got advice on GPRS & 3G data. I need an Indonesian micro-SIM card that will work in Batam and Java for a month. Probably need 2GB for the month.

Which provider works best and is most reliable?

Went over for a day and explored a few places, including Gold bird, Massage82, Tropical Asia, picked a young gal Wati from 82 for ST. She was quite chatty and good service, except the small room doesn't have shower foam :o

Went to Pacific at night and saw 2 x Linas whom I knew from previous trips, dunno why girls like this name haha.

If you need a micro sim, they can "cut' it into size for you. AS for which provider more reliable? No comments. All about the same, just depend on what plans you need only.

I've seen ceweks normally using Telkomsel Simpati for calls n SMS and XL for Internet related activities. IIRC, XL give 3 Gb for 200k RP.

7390 @2.00pm...3 is the card to buy 55k...valid for one month..more than enough...can`t see the bek bek pictures in indo cewe but can see real ones...

Re: Batam Info Thread
 

1 GB for the 3...one month

Thanks for the pointer on 3.

I didn't have a good experience with them, but it could be due to the counter selling me a modem with a 3 promo package but I keep having problem logging in. Switched to Telkomsel and my problems are gone.

Made a post on my blog answering a fellow bro's pm. May not contain the bestest info but it's a recollection of my experience cheonging batam.

Re: Batam Info Thread
 

came back today.

managed to bargain down most of my rides for 25-30k.
40k is too much to go to nagoya from ferry, don't take from the ferry terminal, walk out to the petrol station which is the main road.

They have the advantage that there are many carrot heads to chop and they can ignore you. Those outside on the main road are the more hardworking ones that will compromise your business with their margins and are willing to go down to 30-25k.
You have to go in the negotiation with a mindset that either you earn my money or someone else will and don't be afraid to say no and flag another taxi down - in batam they are everywhere, just wait 5 mins along the road and you'll get honked by at least 3-4 within 5-10 mins.

First time I gave in at 30k, then after one driver who was willing to send me to BCS mall for 25k.. my knife became sharper, cut all my rides to 25k - pasifik - nagoya.

Weekends may increase to 30k due to demand but 40k is too much
