Be vigilant over your own stuffs,always wear a condom and bargain down.

Cheers!

noted on the belongings and valuables part..this is most wary of...which is why i dun go for wechat girls..just dun wanna take the risk.
First day tried the aroma therapy at nagoya spa and massge, cost is $30 for 2 hrs, the massage is not bad but i still prefer foot reflex or neck/shoulder more than whole body massage..dunno why...

As for the stay at CC;
not to mentioned abt breakfast, simply just fried rice, noodle, eggs and bread...and btw my room (superior) do have window...staffs are friendly, and drawback are the power outlets is not by bed side (i got 2 phones, 1 tablet and 1 battery pack, at least 1 beside is good enough) and i realize that i need a fridge to put my stocks(isotonic drinks)...weather is hot and also the haze..

Next trip, i might try delta spa and also the sport massage (can enlighten me on the price and also the exact location of sport massage, tks in advance) and most places i travel by foot, only engage taxi to and from terminal to nagoya and vice visa. CC hotel is near formasa as everyone know, so walking to goldbird or utama area or new berry is not far..but if peniun wet market or A2, i might need to take ojek/taxi...

STill pending on which hotel to stay, looking at $25 to $40/day...eg. hana, BIZ(stay once, got minibar and spread of BF is better than CC and hans Inn and also i like to go to the kpt next to it, main reasons are clean, nice epok epok and windy), or some hotels with in house massage as i am die hard for good massage, any hotel recommendation?? hahaha...

Greetings brothers. I was posted overseas and no time to visit SBF. Hope all you guys have good time.

Need your inputs.

I will be reaching Singapore this Sunday and immediately I will be going to Batam on Sunday night. Monday and Tuesday will be in Batam.

Would like to try B2B in Batam. Any brothers can advise?

I was told Keyzha has. Not sure about the rate and quality. Is it still available.

I always emphasis,Batam is a place where one can travel alone,no need for another person to bring you along. But if you REALLY have problem,try reading my Batam Newbie Walk-Through Guide,which is written in a psychological state of mind when i am a noob/newbie, and it is designed to be like a RPG game guide book. So just treat Batam like a RPG World and step into this whole new World of Wonder to explore its treasures. If you know how to go to Sentosa island alone in Sillypore,Batam will be like a walk in the park.You dont even need to understand Bahasa Indonesia/Malay to travel there (knowing of course will be an advantage),you mainly need to understand the language i am writing here & have with you your 2 hands/10 fingers for communication. Do be humble,be nice & considerate.And bring your whatever expectation you have on Batam down by half and you will be smooth sailing at Batam.

If you have more questions on Batam,feel free to post it in this thread or you may just PM me. Please dont PM stupid question/s like what is HJ/FJ/BBBJ etc. I received quite a few such questions and i totally ignore them w/o even finishing their PM content.

Back to Part 1

Thanks for detailed info

Sports Massage is opposite McDonald's, along the same side of Goodway Hotel. Price is also about 240k for 1.5 or 2 hours (can't really recall as I usually go IndoThai near BCS Mall).

I think Sports Massage also got quite a few branches...price should be around about S$25 for 1.5 hr and S$30 for 2 hrs when i pop in the one beside Good way hotel block in 2014. I never try cos the price shocked me that time,hehehe... (i stingy ma,some more knowing this place die die wont provide special..lol)

If you plan to try Indo Thai Massage,remember dont pay by Sin$ (use Indo Rupiah instead). The rate was like a year+ ago rate on their massage menu.

Enjoy!

(actually if you try Indo Thai,you can compare with Nagoya Spa and Massage to see which one is better,i tried both before and find them comparable)
