Agree that ferry part should be easy. I like bargaining,so almost everything i also bargain (except in shopping mall),hehehe...even enter toilet...lol....and i also like to win in bargaining.

Try blue bird taxi service the next time,if you dont like bargaining,also about 30k plus minus in most trips from point A to point B around Nagoya.

This one i also agree. But for me i am not into sea food or luxury food,so i am fine with most the street offers. Taste-wise,better than sillypore from my point of view but lose to Malaysia in some. I constantly benchmark Batam food in term of price and quality with Malaysia,benchmark as in fast food versus fast food,street food versus street food and lastly food court/house versus food court/house. I like their A & W tho,hehehe...

probably won't be going back anytime soon, until I want the experience of fucking on waking up again.

Wow! Its not easy getting an 8 and above type. The girls in most joints are usually classified base on if they have given birth or not,how many times they gave birth and their age,so sometime can get good looking girls at low price,hehehe...

My 1st experience of morning wake-up-bj is in Batam during my 9th trip. She is like an alarm clock,ringgggg.....! BBBJ time!! And all these were done when i am still asleep,when the sun had just rise...and i woke up thereafter and well...hehehe.... lol...(no need to elaborate further,i guess )

I know where you change your money liao,opp formosa i think only one money changer operating 24 hour. But after 11pm,the rate was much lower than in during day time,so not so worth to change there.

The bath tub is similar to those Taiwan spring water hotel where the height is about our chest level and you actually need to walk up a step or 2 just to.climb into it.

Wow! Got this type of bath tub surely very expensive type of room. If too expensive,i would rather stay inside the Formosa bath tub,which is also enough for 2 person,one at each side,hehehe....minus the rubber ducky...lol. I am also eyeing Montigo resort at Nongsa area too...but that one need to ask my boss to come with me,hehehe...lol,as its ultra expensive!

Cool,bro...swissbel,panorama,planet all quite expensive. Pacific Palace still quite affordable,but i still need to top up a few dollars after getting from Kaha. Havent check the rest yet tho.

Thank you bro. I am always sourcing for things to do in Batam to make sure my trip isnt always the "usual",and at the same time learning new stuffs. I may be visiting an orphanage in Batam too,perhaps in the coming Feb or March trip,maybe even April in case i got caught up somehow. It is not going to be official trip that i would write up here then.

Good time? In bed,yes...hehehe...and as for money well-spent,well...i lost 308k due to carelessness at the custom....*sob* Mistake made,lesson learned and i move on...hopefully next trip will be better and will also need to be more careful and alert. Avoid making same mistakes.

Dont forget to rate the thread.

Cheers!

Perhaps it's jus me,i notice yr dinner seems expensive if i compare with both lunch & breakfast. U added dinner for 2 girls @ 125k,which means yr girl didn't join u for dinner on both days of booking,am i right? In other word,u alone heap up a hefty dinner bill of 245k.

Thank you bro. And yes,my girl didnt join me for dinner and i left some money for them to eat while i go out for dinner with the group,so my dinner expense doubled during the group trip. Both girls are honest enough to return me the change,so thumbs up to them. Its a group dinner,so in a way the bills are bigger. If i am alone,or with just a good fren or 2 in a trip,i need spend only a fraction of the stated figure.

Read the regulations i state before i make my group trip in my previous post,and you will know going Dutch were part of the rules.

Korkor? Thats what most girls in Batam called a guy...lol.

1st night girl is 24,2nd night one is about 28 (if i didnt remember wrong).

Both look about 3/10 from the perspective of one who is looking for a SSYT, 6.5/10 from one who is looking for a good time,and 7.5/10 for someone like me who is looking to having a good time as well as good service. 8/10 if one is into ISO9000,hehehe...
