Yes,what I said was meant for bros with little or no experience in Batam.

Part of my whole idea of my plan C to go downstairs to Formosa after midnight came from the same idea of you going to Newton and Pacific discotheque (I did a bit of modification). It is just that since I am in Formosa hotel,why would I travel further whereby just directly downstairs gives me better convenient.

That's of course if my objectives were just for the girls and that i do not like partying thru the night.

I guess I wasn't used to staying in other rooms afterall,hehehe... (already becoming a habit to walk to your room)

Lazy and yet least informed person will change their currency in Singapore before coming over to Batam.

Lazy but yet well-informed person will change their currency after they reach Batam ferry terminal.

The more intelligent person will change their currency around Batam building blocks where there are at a few money changer shops competing with one another.

The regular Batam goer will nest around their hotel area (or where they often stay) where they regularly stay for the best-rated money changer shop/s.

The least intelligent will be the one who ask where in Batam has the best rate,yet be staying far from it and later either walk a long way or take a taxi/ojek just to change their currency. A 'penis-wise' but a pound stupid.

Something i observed.
