Just back from a 4D3N relax escape sex tour from batam after a long period never go there liow...

This trip I have tried many first time experience including:

1) Buying Kaha hotel voucher for Formosa for 2 nights. Must really thanks bro Nono for his unselfish sharing of info on save money tips.

I am not a frequent batam cheongster only go 2-3 times a year but believe in future will frequent there more often as beside good food and cewek, batam offer lots of massage options for us.

For the past few years have been walking in direct and was paying like S$62-S$65. But this time I was only paying 475000rp = S$48. Save me S$17 per night which is consider as value for money stay.

Last time in order to save cost I chose to stay at lailai mutiara at 230k = $25per night instead of $65 in Formosa.(according to one year ago exchange rate) That was a significant $40 difference

But rite now lailai has recently up their price to 260k=$27 as they are building a lift at the lobby rite now and also have refurbish part of the room like the cabinet and main door. Buying hotel voucher at KAHA for Formosa cost $48. So the difference between the 2 hotels room rate has reduced greatly to $21.

Therefore it is more value for money to stay in Formosa as the $21 difference, you get to enjoy better breakfast, more spacious room, carpet which is cosy, bathtub where you can mandi susu, and many other advantage like its prime location, etc.

2) First time I took metro van from DC mall and alight at pacific hotel at 3000rp=30cents. great travelling experience as I just wanted to experience myself one time not as a tourist but as a local penduduk adapting myself to the lifestyle of the local people.

3) This is also the only trip I did not take a cab. I walk from harbour bay to kaha, lailai, formosa, DC mall, Windsor, etc. I walk to survey many booking joints to hunt for an idea girl starting from goldbird then to orchid. After that cross the road to new berry near hana hotel then walk down further to indah indah near bali hotel. From there proceed to cut across citywalk then to centrepoint before walking down to permata indah near windsor foodcourt where I finally book my girl there.

4) First time I tried the tahu goreng 2500rp = 25 cents fresh and delicious sold by the roadside seller which is way much cheaper than the tahu goring sold in spore at $3.50 which is 14 times more expensive. The street vendor is a malay uncle display his warung push cart near to hotel bali.

5) First time I tried the Ikan tawah (rabbit fish) but have a strong raw fish smell although it is cooked which is not to my liking. Nearly vomited after eating it. Still prefer the ikan bakar pari ( bbq stingray).

6) First time watch movie in batam at nagoya hill. mission impossible 5. Funny thing is the cinema ticket cost 25k cheap but the pop corn cost 35k which is more expensive.
