Upon reaching the exit of HBay terminal. Im sweating mad.

Formosa to Kaha is about 5 mins walk,if walk slowly may take 8 mins of so. Below is a map from Harbour Bay to Kaha,and then to Formosa. It will take about 10 mins walk from Harbour Bay to Kaha. Kaha is direct opposite Harmoni Hotel. (Not Harmoni suite Hotel or Harmoni One hotel,its call Harmoni Hotel)

Took a walk ard Formosa area. Most of shops still closed due to Hari Raya. Managed to check in, took a good shower and take a rest. Time for cewek shopping.
Walking toward New berry direction, cant locate it after walking ard for 30mins. Give up, discuss with a Ojek. For 50k, he will bring mi to the few joints to check out if they are open.

I was about to ask you to book from Formosa website and then head over their receptionist to join as a member for FREE and then get the room at 460k rupiah but I went to double check agoda pricing for Formosa Hotel and find out they sell deluxe room with breakfast priced at about S$46.40 (including tax). Which is a little cheaper than the membership room pricing of 460k rupiah.
Being member of Formosa do not guarantee the lowest room price. Online pricing is inconsistent. Some time high,sometime low...so please check and double check for thebest deal.

Good to know all's been safe and good in your trip after hari raya. If you already have a good trip, still there's a need to watch your expectation and may you have an even better next trip in Batam.
Cheers!

Most wound will leave behind scar/s but most scar/s were reminder of a certain lesson in life and not to make the same mistake again.

Only when someone is hurt,then they will know the pain,just like little kid playing with fire and when they find chilli look "tasty".
I like your picture shown there, totally able to illustrate what you just said..hehehe..smoking is known to be not good for health,something most smokers know.

Almost all the booking joint today has no more 600k overnnight girls. But there's still one that has 500k girls tho,hehehe...so when one looks at the ugliest fattest oldest at places like Bunga,Happy 8 etc etc...we are actually at 600k category of yesteryears and 1 million rupiah girls were category of 800k of the past. Happy 8 will surpass Bunga to become Batam MOST expensive SOON (I think they are almost there) ...in other word,biggest,fatest ugliest can cost around 900k to 1 million rupiah in happy 8 and bunga but 700k to 900k in other joints.
And bargain is a MUST for me in Batam.
