In most of my trips (90% time),i get unlimited shots. I am humble,courteous and do not show off,i also do not communicate in Bahasa Indo with any Indonesians nor am i one who will pay big money thru my nose to get my way around. i am stingy as many has known me here. I fork out S$1 and expect a S$0.20 service value at most time but nearly all the time (90%) i got a S$5 worth in return value as compare to most 1st and 3rd world country in this globe. Quote:

I answer base on my understanding of a newbie when they are having doubts. At times i answered their doubts even before they ask. Read on... My mentality is like that,i booked a girl..i try to build some basic chemistry with her,and had my 1st shot.Sometimes,i will ask her jokingly how many shots can i go.If she likes me,she will tell me unlimited or as many as i can. If not,she will just tell me 3 shots or maybe even 2. If her answers are 2 shots or 3 shots,my solution will be massage center if i need more shots. I walk to a massage place,usually cost me 70k to 120k/hr,special for HJ are usually 100k to 150k after bargain,FJ is usually 200k-300k after bargaining (300k or more usually means i get chopped) and when i say this,it also depends on where the massage places is (Hotel,MP or Spa type).If you are REALLY good with bargaining like some of my local indo friend/s i knew, 50k rupiah per shot is totally possible,but if you dont bargain at all,S$80-S$100 per shot (talking about both hj/fj) is not entirely impossible. So far i have very little chance to come to this point which i called Plan B. This is my usual alternatives for an "in case all else fail" situation. I usually have one key advise for newbies,dont hold too high expectation,be humble,be nice,dont show off and always bargain down most things that has no price menu. My answers to your questions are base solely on just my personal perspective. Other bros may have a different view point base on their experience. |

Trust me,even if someone is wheel-chair bound,as long as he can reach Formosa Hotel,from Food,booking girls to KTV ,up to massage with special..it is already under a single roof as long as he brings enough money. But whether there will be fun or not will be another story (luck is an important factor),hehehe... :D Quote:

I am glad you at least read the Batam Newbie Guide and the warning on my signature regarding the Banned Joint. Thank you for being wise. Quote:

I have met up with some of those you called "lucky bros",hehehe...it is also not every trip that they will be so lucky. For every "lucky" they have,they will also have an almost equal time of having an "unlucky" experience. Just that they never say it out here,hehehe...most people share mainly the good and not their fail. Quote:

After having more or less knowing the area better,move to another place. And eventually one day,you may choose not to walk anymore becos you already know where are the mostly frequently visited places and the more important things in your mind will be moving around from point to point to get the best timing to do the things you aim to do in Batam.
