These 'kiddy' clearly tink btm is another province of sg la...lol. U'll often hear 'i'm nvr going btm again' ,wen they met w any small problem. |
The last time I saw them,i should have taken a video of them playing around the hotel lobby and post their photos here (censoring their face),hehehe... those poor booking girls just sat at the chairs opposite the reception counter looking a bit disgusted by their behavior.

In Sillypore, the government is trying to control by allowing the public to tell them apart from some stickers sticking in the private car's front and back of the glass wind screen. I don't think Batam implemented that tho.

Not exactly sure how much they could earn on average as the variances from minimum to maximum were quite broad. I wont be surprise Batam taxi drivers were having more income as stated. Tax free too,hehehe...

Lol...mayb...mayb...prices onli gone UP for the clever 'emperors' frm Sg. C'mon sense goes along way indeed.........
Do u see wat i see nw? 
Did u pay higher prices 3 yrs+ ago 4 taxi? (since nw most of the time,u get free frm hotels & 50k for 2way)
Did u hv 2 pay a higher price for gers 3 yrs ago as compared 2 today? (since u say u all the way nvr pay more than 1m rp on gers b4)
So is price go up or gng steady? or gng dwn? i tink onli u yrself knw the ans since u r 1 of em who always been payin lesser & lesser each year ovr yr last 3. |
Regular batam goers tend to pay the standard fare most of the time,be it few years ago and/or today.
Food prices however has gone up a little tho. Perhaps by 1k to 2k rupiah,as compared to 3.5 years ago when i visited Batam. (you can check my summaries,i kept a record of it...hehehe...)
As for girls,there's no consistency. But conclusion for me is, if the place the girls worked has good business ,price goes upway. Pretty much common sense for anyone who cheong,if prices were equal,more or just mild difference than Sillypore price,its definitely carrot pricing. I usually compare it with pricing in Malaysia,hehehe...I have said this before,when I made comparison,its only fair to compare 3rd world with 3rd world,and with the same category (overnight versus overnight,short time versus short time,age group,syt or MILF and so on). Not likely to compare Batam with Japan nor Sillypore or even south Korea. Wont be fair.
It also depends on what one is looking for (service standard and quality),hehehe...i like made-to-order.

Hehehe...how to be absolute on that? Most time we can only exercise common sense and by engaging on our experience (or read and learn from other more experience bro's experience).

Advertisers in Batam has the tendency to mix themselves up with the their numbers and words,hehehe...hence I need to go there to make sure they get their figure right 1st. Confuse them...hehehe...
10 person = 5 rooms
If that were the case,it can be easily achievable.
