From Nagoya mall to Pacific hotel 30k rp.
From Pacific hotel to bcs mall 40k rp.
From bcs mall to Habourbay 40k rp.
Looks like things are slowly going back to normal. I will usually take a taxi from the departure hall of Harbour Bay. Its the place where people who wish to leave Batam will drop off,near the Horizon Ferries Counter. The moment got people drop off,i will go for the taxi (like how China people snatching taxi in China),hehehe....then tell them 30k to Formosa ok? Most time they will be ok cos they are already cutting the queue of other taxi drivers waiting in other queues....win win situation for me and the taxi driver. Some time the taxis after their customers drop off will wait there for 5 to 10 mins,and they will approach me.

The only thing during CNY is, nobody going back Sillypore...lol,thats why i went to look for alternative and it cost 50k. I was quoted 70k.

In my last trip,i am surprise at the Bak Chok Mee noodles at A2 food court which is so GOOD,that i had 2 shares of it. They are one of the best i ever had....and at only around 15k/bowl. In terms of taste,i definitely wont be able to find anything close in Sillypore.
