In Batam,some hotels can really have no taxi at all. So the security guard or their bell boy have to dial a taxi for me,which can sometime make me wait for an extra 10 to 20 mins.

I can order a meal from a zhi char road store,the 1st dish can sometime turn up 30 mins later,hehehe...

I take a taxi from point A to point B,it can take 5 mins,but when I come back from point B to point A,i can end up using 20mins (and the reason is not becos of heavy traffic but of the way they structure their roads).

I walk into a massage shop,the moment I start getting the massage can be up to 15mins or more upon my 1st step into their shop.

What I am saying is, do not use Singapore efficient way of time planning to plan in Batam. You may end up getting piss off. Simply just go patiently slow and relax.

Good.

For "girl-hunting" in booking joint,just take it like you go to wet-market to buy poultries ,hehehe...use your own judgment tactically with some basic common sense. I am sure most cheongsters will have those instinct.

What happen when a 9.5/10 girl shows interest in you? And the 5-6/10 one don't?

This will depend on luck then,hehehe...

Those were positive info sharing, minus the grievance (with positive attitude). You deserve to be helped when you help others. If everyone does that,the internet world will become a better place to be in even when perspectives were different.
