But i see you in Batam during Ramadan (on SBF) most of the year over the last 10, hehehe...
Anyway, this year seems like its quieter than all other previous Ramadans. Perhaps its due to a different customer base coming over from Malaysia and Singapore. And most girls fearing that the air ticket prices may keep soaring upward chose to return home earlier?

Uncertainty on what is the 1st day (the last night before or the first day? Also, note that Ramadan may begin on a different day in Indonesia than in Malaysia or, say, Pakistan) makes those 3-3-3 a safer 4-5-4, thus limiting further the available time windows.

The girls were telling me most of them were doing the 3-2-3. Just that many wasn't sure where the day of the "2" should be, hence they usually do the 3-3-3. Tourist/s who were unsure on Ramadan should use the 4-3-4 rule tho.

This is actually my 1st mid Ramadan travel to Batam if i didn't remembers wrong. And i notice major KTVs can "lights off" as early as 6pm on mid Ramadan.
I am glad to have at least one girl in my room during those hours.
