Hi bro, since you have about a month's time before your actual trip,i am sure reading will help you much. Continue to do what you do now and if you have any question/s do feel free to share it here but please avoid common repeated questions as most here were quite tired of repeatly answering them.

I may try to direct you to the answer if i know it exist but will avoid answering them directly. The reason is becos my answer/s to a question can be relatively long (covering details to prevent misleading) and i find that one would be able to remember the answer they are seeking better if they seek for it rather than ask today and repeat the same tomorrow.

Over here,you will notice the same person ask a question and will repeated the same question after few weeks/months later even when its being answered to them before. (meaning people ask questions A today,few months later same person ask question A again) Weird scene,but then its true in this thread.

Hoping for your understanding.

Same for me too. I go Batam to relax,not going to put myself in a position to constantly being have to be on high alert too much. Better still is ,i already know where to find most wechat freelancers at half their original price (or more) w/o having to use wechat. So i cannot bring myself to pay so much for when i can pay much less.

You mean you tried the foot reflexology at Nagoya Spa and Massage?

I like that too,then i think might love Joy Massage at BCS mall.

If you wish to try Hana,better hurry before it deteriorate as it is starting now.My next target is Biz and Da Viena tho,hehehe... but not any time soon tho. Still prefer CC and Formosa at the moment since most of the better booking joints are nearby.

Thank you for sharing.

*sorry,my post came too late,you are probably on your way back.
