Hi all,
New to this forum. Huge thanks to bro nono for all the information compiled in this thread, and here's my trip summary.
I went out to Batam on a Sunday. I took the BatamFast ferry instead of Horizons because I can't find the counter. Cost was $50 for a return ticket between Harbourbay and SG.
Reached Harbour Bay. I thought I'll walk to the hotel instead of taking a taxi. The walk was boring, muddy and had to cross so many roads while constantly being honked at by taxis. I had way too much time to kill before checkin time. I think I'll take the later ferries in future to align with the check-in times.
Note to self 1: Take the taxi next time.
Note to self 2: Take the afternoon ferries.
After check-in, I started "girl hunting"
I went out to all the joints and ended up at Bunga Massage as the last one, and I chose a girl out of panic cause I've ran out of places to go, and I didn't want to go back to the other spots again. So panicked that my mind was a blank and I didn't follow any of the advice given here haha. I chose 1 that didn't seem interested in me and was playing with her phone, and paid 1.3mil without bargaining.
Note to self 3: Reiterated many times here already, lower your expectations. IMHO Geylang Cat 50 have prettier ones than those in Batam.
Note to self 4: Take the first one you like. The grass not always greener on the other side
Note to self 5: MM has the same boss as Morena. So be expected to be brought round to all the joints if you paiseh to reject firmly.
Fast forward to girl is in my room. I seriously lucked out as the GFE was strong with this one
We chat about the usual stuff like where she from etc. I noticed that she's not shy about talking about her other customers so I started asking her questions and her answers were hilarious.
I asked if she's done 2 girls 1 guy before. She said yes, and I asked how was it. She said she didn't like it, and throughout the session she was "running" away from the other girl. The guy will bonk the girl, then her, but the 2 girls had 0 interaction in between.
I asked if she has boyfriend and she said yes. The guy is her customer who booked her when she just came to Batam. The guy came back a few times and booked her and asked to be her boyfriend. After talking for a while I got the feeling that she doesn't really like him that much and will probably say bye bye when her contract is up.
Throughout the chat she even showed me some texts between her and her customers.
Note to self 6: Don't bother trying to have a girlfriend there.
Note to self 7: Your texts to the girl are not covered by any data protection act. Send at your own risk
I took Grab from Diamond City Mall to ferry for 16k. I learnt from the driver that Grab drivers are not allowed in certain areas like shopping malls and ferry terminals. Those are the territory of the touts, and bad things happen to Grab cars that pick up customers from there. Be prepared to walk to ulu spot.
