And I was impressed.
You never know,he may just know where he is going.

Yes, ticket is a ref for him and yes, he is relying on his memories...which unfortunately, is 20+ yrs ago. The hotel we went to was his 2nd trip and he thought there were many entertainments.....which turn out not so....but overall, still managed to hve fun.
Anyway, it's a good learning experience for me too. This is sifu's final trip as he may not be able to make it the next round as he is getting weaker and walking is getting more difficult for him.

Yes, he did have fun and drank more than usual and still steady....but he was not getting the ultimate fun...girls to hug and fuss over him.

I always have the impression that beers are suppose to be cheap in Batam,to me the bill shows that beer is quite costly,hehehe...well,thats from someone who dont drink...lol.

If compared to S'pore, it is cheap.....and from what the prices I've see in Permata Indah, Meximo and T2 Club.....the jugs are slightly cheaper...and with 2 free jugs, it is cheaper by 1/2.....only question in my mind is why 1st night only 1 jug free and 2nd night 2 jug free?
Btw, beer at Windsor court cost bet Rp28k to Rp 38k.....half the price of S'pore coffeeshops.......and 70 beer promoters vs average of 5 promoters in S'pore coffeeshops.

I don't know about Batam but if we book a girl the whole night, no tip is given since we've paid the booking(fyi, booking whole night to sit in S'pore nightclub is approx $240)....some tips may be given...if the girl is outstanding in service and we wish to rtf. If I need to pay total of Rp 530k for sitting, I might as well book a girl overnight for Rp800k and she will accompany to KTV also. Make sense?

I believe the bros who tag along should appreciate ur effort and time in `guiding' them as it's more of a learning trip for them; if they enjoyed the trip, great, if no, at least the trip at least gives them the experience of what batam is all about and they should be grateful for it as u're not being paid to bring them around.
Sacrifice as in need to compromise when in group rather than a free and easy to do what u want when travelling alone...but personally, I like travelling with like minded bros who are easy going....it's more fun.
