Harbour bay was all quiet today too. Horizon ferry only about 20% full. Majestic Ferry dropping the same time to Harbour Front when my horizon ferry arrive was at least 80% full.

Opposite Plasa Nagoya hotel row of money changers at 9300/SGD. Harbour Bay at 9350/SGD (1st quote 9300/SGD). Yesterday my friend arriving at Harbour Bay also change at 9350/SGD too. So what i am saying is,Harbour Bay money changer gives better rate yesterday and today. It could be due to competition as practically all money changers at Harbour Bay were opened for business. But not all shops within Nagoya area (opposite Plasa Nagoya and Formosa) were opened.

The trick is,go for those highly competitive area to change money if the amount i wish to change is big,hehehe...

Gold Bird also no longer plays the 'double the price' game in this CNY...interesting. Some New berry girls switched side to Gold bird too,hehehe...even more interesting.

A handful of ex New Berry girls who were at Permata Indah will have their contract ending around 5th to 8th Feb...many will be leaving for good.

New girls will be imported in to Batam towards end of Feb 2017 or somewhere beginning of March.

Just sharing.
(no need to believe me,hehehe...becos i didnt visit any booking joint in my CNY 2017 trip)
