Dear Bros, my first virgin FR for Batam. Not a fruitful one though.
Hope To go Again though
With limited knowledge and continuous reading from this thread, i decided to go batam solo to explore a bit yesterday. Arrived at batam about 305pm and went to the taxi counter to get a taxi (green Colour) - quoted 50k, seems market rate. Reach hotel Formosa, checkin is smooth. Room is spacious and a bit run down (but given the price, its ok) so follow advise from bro go opp change money, gotten 9700.
A question here I saw the Harbour Bay terminal also got money changer. Seems better rate? Is it also advisable to change at there?
Anyway then walk to lucky plaza, wanted to buy a Sim.. like thousands of them haha. Anyhow choose one buy 1 simpati 30gb for 100k. Dunno got coned or not. Haha
Anyway back to hotel and try to figure out My plan. Wah the hotel wifi and my sim connection both very bad, I keep trying to connect to diff level one to get intermittent connection.
Any bro has recommendations to solve wifi problem? Ask them said they will check then it's the same.
Then with no wifi, use my adventurous self and the map provided by bro nono. Only manage to find happy 8. Went in, mami said got 1 young one, then 2 slightly older to choose. The rest is cui. Quoted 1.4juta for the young one. I said no really my cup of tea. I said I come back later around 7.mami did offer to cut to 1.2juta for the young one. But I said later.
Back to hotel and decided to try king massage. Went up to choose the girl from the book then order to room. 15 mins later the girl come , shit not the same, but still ok so let it go and massage. Massage is just ok given 2hr for 200k. At 45mins mark the girl, ask special. She quotes $50 for hj. Siao.. I reject straight, then after another 15mins she quote $30 I say no. Then from then on massage is downhill.
After 1.5hr. She said finished. I see she no mood I also no mood. I said ok leave.
Try to search again how to go different booking joint. Could not figure out how to go Sri kandy and kupu kupu. So decide to go back to happy 8. This time more selection,
Then I saw a girl but another local bro pick her also haiz.. so no find. The girl was offer at 1.3juta. I bargain till 1.1 already too bad left empty handed. Then walk around bit to see if I can get to anywhere but no it was 9pm . So decide to go relax massage. Haha totally clean massage but cheap.
After massage went back Hotel and trying to figure out how to go again. Then finally pop by alishan ktv. Saw not much girl so ended nothing and back to room and sleep
Virgin try seems not successful but it's ok . Just familiarise myself.
Any bro can kind share the location of booking joint like sri kandy, kupu kupu? Bro nono ones is good but can't find still. Any landmark near those so can use Google map to search. If not it's ok, will try agin next time
