1 or 2 hours there and it is already costing u as much as going to a theme park in Singapore.

The only option now u can do is to top u the card and pay for each ride using the card. You can use the card for all the adults and kids in your family.
This something that i havent thought of,hehehe...i only bring girls there, they finish the ride fast but at least i drew a budget of 200k to 300k rupiah to make those girls happy,hehehe....can also follow lunch/dinner at the KTV upstairs (3rd floor) at Alegro.

Only thing is you have to ask for rooms facing the shopping mall as the rooms facing the road is really noisy. Motor bikes at 2-3 am screaming at you. Light sleepers will have trouble sleeping.
This kind of thing, if you didnt mention it here,i am sure almost everyone reading this thread wouldnt have known.

There used to be just Wey Wey seafood restaurant and Harbour Bay seafood restaurant in the past. Recently seems like many new restaurants start popping out in that area. These places were the only few businesses still active after 8pm.

I forget to mention to you about J8 food court, which is also around that area too. Whereby they have more variety of food to choose from.

I chose a girl that looks good in photo and in real person too. Their photo does not look like its photoshop so you should get what you chose.

I chose HJ and I did not bother to bargain so I paid the high side.

She did take out her top and I need auto roam. Nice boobs.

Unfortunately it was quite SOP and she did not put in much effort to arouse me so it was only average experience for me.
Next time, try to bargain down...for better service. You might find it strange why i said that, and how come lowering the pricing yet still gets better service. An illustration scene below :

1. 1st quote, 500k rupiah by massage girl

2. Bargain to 100k rupiah

3. Girl says cannot,best is 300k rupiah

4. I said , no...my best is 150k rupiah.

5. Girl say , "300k rupiah include "this" and "that"..."

6. I said , "ok, i pay 200k rupiah, include "this" and "that"...can? "

7. Girl say, "No cannot, 300k rupiah is market price for "this" and "that"..."

8. I said, "my friend tells me massage in Batam is 100k hj and 200 fj..."

(100k hj and 200k fj is 5 years ago pricing,hehehe...)

9. Girl say , "ok, last price...250k includes "this" and "that"..."

10. i said, "ok then,i can pay 250k rupiah including "this" and "that" but you must full strip,ok? If ok, then deal...otherwise no deal...ok? "

(beside "full strip" can also ask for other add-on)

95% chance the massage girl will be ok with it. And do you see now, how the "better service" comes about? Tho i may have agreed on the final price of 250k rupiah, but if the whole session goes well and beyond my expectation, i would willingly gives her an extra 50k rupiah which at the end of it usually makes her VERY happy (becos she might feel she won the bargaining) and that helps her to remember me better me the next time i RTM again.

This would be a challenge. No many would risk 220k rupiah to risk if a place would have hanky panky tho, as the chance to you may be 100% if you are lucky and may be 0% for others (which is why i name you King massage instead of other MPs). Which is why when i visit known-to-be clean MPs which has hanky panky, others who visit them may not get it.

Luck plays an inportant role in such "clean" places too.

Yes, of course i remembered. My 1st girl, from my 1st booking joint,Gold Bird...only visit one booking joint that time, choose my girl with my eye closed and due to beginner's luck, got a fantastic girl at 600k rupiah with superb good service and makes me cum 6 times in one single day and night of booking,hehehe...

My 1st hotel, Formosa...my 1st MP, King's massage, my 1st KTV in Batam Alishan...my 1st PRC girl in Batam (in different trips), my 1st Vietnamese girl (in different trips) in Batam, my 1st Indo Chinese girl (in different trips) etc etc...everything all under that one big roof,hehehe...

From starting Batam as a complete noob, to someone who knows my way around, to being capable to source for my own definition on the BEST OF THE BEST in Batam...i learned one thing, step 1 and step 2 is VERY IMPORTANT for beginners. And you are like my Batam's step 1.

Becos of your step 1, there is a basic traveling guide,follow by summaries...the food info and then the Batam info vault compiling blah blah blah...until what i am today. Its all in the records on my signature link below today, like a history book on myself in Batam which could constantly be flipped back so that online readers can all become witness/es.

I bet you wouldnt have thought in the past that the "seed" you "sow" on the ground unintentionally 5 years ago would have grown into a tree today,hehehe...whereby the written basic Batam Traveling Guide on my signature would be read by 100s of thousand and helped countless noobs who would wish to travel to batam for the 1st time.

* i used to have a "click counter" 5 years ago to keep a record on how many people clicked onto my basic guides. I took it off after the counters number hit more than 350000 clicks last year. And this is just solely the basic batam traveling guide alone.

Thinking and reading back does bring back lots of good memories....something i would love to remember by as i age.

You have HUGE space for improvement in front of you. Maybe read, try to learn from others' and your mistakes, try again.

1) In front of Formosa there are THREE money changers. Not the same. However I go on Jalan Bonjol: along the strip from Nagoya Hill Mosque and kampung bule there are maybe 10 money changers. I ask, take note of the rates, go back with money to the best one.

2) I understood that BKT near Formosa is for hard-core chinese BKT lovers. I prefer the one at Nagoya Hill, which as Nono says it must be the worst for quality and variety of the meat, but at least it is fully cooked (overcooked is better than undercooked for me) and is served to tables where I can see all the girls walking by.

3) Octopus offers the "package", which is full service, but it is expensive. I don't know how you could not even get an HJ. Maybe you did not want to pay and opted for the basic service.

4) Take a ferry for a single-day tour and spend it around Nagoya Mall cannot be very exciting. I understand it.

that is correct hj is inclusive in the non fj package. but no roaming tho. roaming comes with convincing and tips.

funny that i shared a link to an indo forum that has ratings for all the mps and takeaway places but kenna blocked. cannot read bahasa so i also blur

Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread

Finally, my first batam trip, solo. With some advises from Bro Nono1973, managed to have a good solo trip. Thanks again Bro Nono1973. A brief FR here.
Arrived HB and glad there was WIFI. Connected and booked a Grab from a nearby Hotel, however need to walk further out. Grab doesnt come into HB. Stayed at The K Hotel 270k booked from agoda. Not bad, may consider to stay again.
Met a waitress for lunch nearby Hotel and scored afterwards. This trip only spent time with the waitress and thats it. Since shes not a FL, I tipped much less than the market FL rate. Chatted with several FL and quote for LT was 1.2 to 1.5juta before nego irregardless SYT or milf. Not too adventurous since my first time there but still good considering had a few shots and definitely a budget trip. Food was nice nearby hotel and good variety. Went for a clean traditional massage at 90k/hr, so so only.
My next trip will probably be more adventurous. So much tempting to ON few of the FLs i chatted with.

Given the article you shared, wouldn't the poor economical outlook affect the property prices (and completion)?
I am not so much worry on this part as i do not plan to owe the bank or anyone money (that comes with interest) during my purchase. Economic outlook is actually one of my least worry. I should be more worrying about Batam having 1.2 million population but has housing/lodging meant for 12 million population,hehehe...and thats not counting hotels.

When more than 300 thousand lost their jobs and when these people left Batam during 2017 to 2018, how many comes back in? Note that 300 thousand is more than half the foreigner population in Batam as it was known that about 500 thousand resides in Batam.

And these are some of my key worries, developer run-road and/or hidden rules (and its laws which many developers try to hide it from buyers).

1. Unclear rules and laws by the agents (they knew the cons but didnt state,which is what i hate..yes,"hate" is a strong word)

2. Propagandizing advertisement (while i state the good and bad on my info and review/s in this forum, but those propagandizing only state the good and NO BAD,hehehe..)

3. A later date (couple of years later) when there are too many empty apartments in batam with little tenant renting.

4. Indonesia government's flip flop regulations and laws.

5. Political changes (with lots of broken promises and change of policies)

I will need to devise my way out of all of the above,hehehe... and i need to prepare myself to lose a certain percentage of money when i decide to step into the island with my investment.

Honestly speaking, i have no solution today but i will need to source for some. Most people who knows me well enough will know, i often try to sort for solution/s before the actual physical problem occurs. Hehehe...kiasu mentality.

...and some of the bigger names like Oxley were quite informative in their advertisement tho (thumbs up to them and they deserve good business). At least can tell they werent trying to play hide and seek with the "foreigner is eligible" words.


Currently am in step number 1 when comes to buying apartments in Batam, so nothing is concrete yet. And i believe i should have many more steps to go...hehehe...a long way to go.

At planning and learning stage now, not going to jump in out of sudden becos things are within my budget.

Which is the reason why i sincerely thank you for your input.

Thank you.

* avoid quoting my whole long post if anyone is replying to my post, thank you
