Yes,bro. Only for the period of Ramadan month.

81k for an hour massage in Hotel room was a considerably good price. Hehehe...i am working towards 20% discount as i speak,which will one day happen and it will work out to be 72k/hour for in-house massage and 80k/hour for in-room massage. One day,it will also be 200k for 2 hours for out of Formosa Hotel massage and 264k for 2 hours of hot stone massage...one day...hehehe...

My driver has never been late for any appointments and he replied fast even for last minutes in wee hours. I always pay 5k rupiah below the standard market rate for each trip.
And the cost of taxi fare?

Behind Da Vienna Hotel is their car park,walking from there to Formosa does saves me much time.

Even those in front of Formosa hotel lose out. If don’t believe check it out on your own. At least 3k rupiah more for every $100. Rate was 9780 best price during the 3Days.
The date of your trip? If you do not mind sharing. (no obligation to reply)

According to my own record,rate for opposite formosa money changer is :

9th June : 9800/SGD

10th June : 9820/SGD

11th June : 9790/SGD

12th June : 9790/SGD - (Sunday)

13th June : 9800/SGD

14th June : 9850/SGD

15th June : 9850/SGD

16th June : 9880/SGD - (Thursday)

17th June : 9860/SGD

18th June : 9850/SGD

19th June : 9850/SGD - (Sunday)

Those were the rate opposite Formosa if i change S$50 and above. Rates will be a little better if i change S$1000 and more. (my mum's ex. colleagues in Jakarta change 9900/SGD on 16th June 2016 which surprise me) Anyway,the difference also not really very much between money changers. Its just that getting a good price for something during travelling makes my day.

Indon girls came in for parade. WOW! About 40+ indon girls around there came in. Don’t even have space to stand. At least 15 are syt. Some even looks underage. Viet and china girl parade is about 15 girls. Business seems bad during this month there.
Bought 1 chivas and 2 beer of jug, 4 green tea and 6 cokes as mixers. Together with the fruits and “keropok”, cost is around 2.5juta. So around $80 per person.

Room is super spacious and big.
Any chance you might still have the receipt with you so that i can keep a record on the breakdown of the M1 bill? Again,no obligation,my intention was just to keep a record on the M1 bill breakdown for info collection purpose.

Thank you.

Playability depends on chemistry with girl and how wild the girl is.
I took and innocent 20 year old indon girl.
