Yep ,Tea Story restaurant is a Bubble Tea concept type of restaurant. Cosy and simple lay out with air-con and some decent finger food. I used to go there to chill out with bros who link up with me. I treat them drink beer for 7k rupiah/big mug (or tall glass) and they treat me drink small glass of tea for more than 10k rupiah,hehehe....clever move right? LOL...

Do note some taxi drivers may charge you the cost of 2 x point to point during your travel to Kaha. Example you ask them for Formosa,they tell you 50k and you tell them you want to go Kaha opposite Harmoni Hotel 1st and then to Formosa,they charge you 100k (or 80k)...lol. I think 50k to Kaha then to Formosa is a fair deal,tho i pay 30k to have them do the the same before (i still tip them extra 10k upon reaching Formosa and they seems happy).

Most if not all air con places in Batam can accommodate smokers,unlike Sillypore,hehehe...but i always ask for ash tray from the waiter just to be sure,hehehe...

My friends just told me,to get a good bargain in Indonesia,some time the heart need to be turned stone-like and skin must be a little thicker,hehehe...to me,i would say one must not be scare of troublesome. Like taking taxi,you can walk another about 50+ steps to get a cheaper taxi ride (even tho it is cheaper by about 10k to 30k). Some may find it not worth the trouble to save S$1.10 to S$3.30 to do so. Just like one kind of grain can feed different kind of people.

No problem at all. But the main thing is you are with someone with lesser mobility,so the places you can travel to will become limited. I once had an ex colleague whom i met by chance at Batam. He is those Rest and Relax type of Batam cheongster who didnt like to move very much around,so most of the time,he is within the 200m - 300m radius of Formosa Hotel. i am drawing out the itinerary you saw for your sifu and you base on my Rest and Relax ex. colleague's previous Batam travelling plans.
In General,there are 3 types of Batam cheonsgter looking for girls in Batam from my perspective are :
1.
The Hunters - They are those who frequent Disco,pubs,night clubs etc to hunt WL as well as non-WL (aka part time WL).
2.
The Shoppers - They visit fish tanks,move around to shop for readied girls where there is an OKT/manager or something the like.
3.
The Rest and Relax - they rarely move around very much,everything they need are already under one roof.Everything they need are already within 300m radius of where they stay.
Everyone is different. Everyone has their own choices. I can only suggest what i think works best on a certain situation base on my limited experience in Batam.
Its Monday,time to enjoy Batam...
