After shwing 'her' my formosa mem card few more times,i end with 200k cewek completely nude hj w full roaming.

What you say do make sense..probably i will just go tml and try to find those joints. Speaking to those taxi drivers sometimes really can vomit blood.

She explained when I bought the telkomsel simpati sim card in December last year was still using 3G, and social chat like whapapps, facebook uses very little mobile data. The 3 k balance is even sufficient for the social chat for many days. However now that Telkomsel simpati do not sell 3G sim card anymore.

However, in the event that there is no wifi zone, then use 4G sim card, then have to buy the data bundle of 300Mb for 30 days at 25k (if I never remember wrongly) at least sufficient for social messaging.

Therefore it is best to turn on wifi instead of mobile data as GPRS will wipe off all the balance in a short while... if mobile data bundle is not purchased...

I think they were wking with M1 & Sintel on this one,to make more profit out of the foreign phone users.(M1 & & Sintel has their own $5 & $30 sim for data in SEA like M'sia,Indo) How many reli stayed up to 30 days in btm?

Good info,thx.

Permata Indah will be good for 2nd day becos if you are staying in Da Vienna Hotel its within walking distance. You may wish to take a taxi/ojek for MM,Indah2,Bunga,Hawaii and Tulip (Tulip and Hawaii isnt in the map).

I tink wat u post in tis 2 above shld be more than sufficient 4 any new guys to go btm w min trouble. Once reach btm ferry terminal,jus grab a taxi to reach hotel,check in & go to bookin joint 2 book a girl & then back to hotel,fuck,rest fuck rest until dinner time & then go eat & back 2 room 2 fuck rest fuck rest until next mornin. Go massage/ktv/pub/shopping all optional & then home sweet home.

After dinner can also go walk ard pub/disco/ktv sit sit drink drink & then back to rm.

so clean cut & simple.

Good to know all's been safe and good in your trip after hari raya. If you already have a good trip, still there's a need to watch your expectation and may you have an even better next trip in Batam.

Jus addin,never get pressurized or hurry 2 choose girl by okt. Slowly choose dn't mean tryin to choose a girl with no idea hw to choose 1. Sm guys blur blur walk in & then didn't hav in their mind wat type of girls they are lookin 4 & then start all picky & choosy. Tis type usually go booking joint 2 choose wife,dn't waste time on these.

I walk inside joint,light my cig & wen my cig finish w no girl shw interest in me or those who show interest i not interested,i walk out. All in,less than 10 mins. No need waste time if i see any girl turn their face against me. They r not interested & i wn't hear out the okt too much wen he recommend a girl tat dn't shw me interest.

Usually where is the best place to exchange Indonesian Rupiah? Any specific location brother? Thanks

For hotel is it better to pay by credit card or Cash? (Purely for exchange rate)

I dare say all the farm house in the cheonging list will have some girls I have booked before,hehehe...there is no need to be paiseh (shy) or feeling the need to be attached to just any one girl. Words of me spread among the girls pretty widely as a stingy but nice guy who dont really demand rudely and bully them like they were some sex slave. (words do spread among the girls)

If you have this issue,you will need to thicken your skin,learn to make friends with them,and when you do,just think of what you normally will do when you see a friend. You greet them,say hello etc etc...its what i do when i walk to a joint and saw a girl i booked before. This way,i wont feel too attached to them and they wont feel overly hopeful to get certain kind of commitment from me too. I am buying a service from a 'friend' and they sell their service as an escort to a friend.

Win win situation, especially when they or most of them knows what kind of person i am.

I am curious if I go this way does it mean the gal will have all booking fee or she still need to share with her papi assuming there is some kind of agreement between them. If so, is it reasonable I can ask discount from the regular booking fee which I used to pay her papi?

A lot of Gold Bird girls were no longer under any contract,but if they work under the joint,they have to come to work but they need not have to sit inside the fish bowl area to await customers as most already have a strong-enough flow of regulars. Therefore some bros go to Gold Bird only manage to see 5 to 6 girls but on the same day i was there,i could see around 20 plus.

This group of non-contract girls,they still need to pay the joint upon your booking. There is no harm in asking for lower price for anything in Batam, and in this situation is on girls you booked before where you might think you have a chance to bypass the joint which in fact isnt. A little speech technique is required when you ask for lower price tho (eg,you book her originally for a million rupiah but tell her you actually pay papi last time only 900k etc etc). I usually get about 100k to 200k off and occasionally having to pay 10k-20k rupiah for her ojek but this dont happen every time.

It is also how i manage to get 500k overnight girls from Gold Bird in 2014. Do keep in mind, EVERY booking joint works differently and i am now talking solely on just Gold Bird aka Sedona. (with this in mind,you can just imagine how much wechat girls were chopping their not-so-intelligent customers for short time)

Good luck!

Anyway, i m worried abt breaking the rhythm of that area.
Across the road, already infested w sinkie n msia tourist.
I certainly hope they do it real slow.......i still want to enjoy my time at nagoya for a few more years.

1. I understand about 60% of Batam visitors were Sillyporean.

2. I understand batam has lesser crowd during weekdays (Mon to Thu)

3. I understand eating meals at Batam timezone where its their normal meal time sure to be crowded.

4. I also understand which shopping mall has the most crowd in Batam.

5. about 70% of Batam tourist came from Sillypore and not every ferry terminal is crowded.

My hope is,Batam's weekdays will NOT be like CNY or long weekend on a everyday basis in the coming 10 years.

Never will i ever pay for anything in advance in Batam.

I chg opp formosa. If u follow wat's written on their board & dn't open mouth to ask,everywhere also same rate in btm. Among the row of money chger there,Hai Hai (or rite corner frm front of hotel) is always givin the worst rate in tat area.

4 info purpose,today evenin rate is 9650 for one sin$.

ALMOST everywhere in the world, paying with the credit card in a foreign country is more convenient than changing your cash into local currency at exchange offices (using ATM with a debit card is a different story, as ALMOST everywhere in the world the Maestro exchange rate is better than at bank), because:

1) serious hotels or shops or restaurants do not apply a surcharge (but some apply a discount for cash, because they avoid to pay a heavy commission to credit card major circuits);

2) the exchange rate applied by VISA, MasterCard, etc. is about +1.5% the daily official interbank rate (more or less the rate you see on Yahoo or XE, for example), while...

3) ...the exchange rate applied by exchange offices or banks is usually worse than the above, at least +3% / +5%, depending on the currency (should I try to buy IDR in my bank in Europe, IF THEY ACCEPT they would charge not less than +20% or 30%, because IDR have no market in Europe) and depending on the office (NEVER change at exchange offices in airports, such as Forex etc. The surcharge is impressive, again +10% or +20% or more).

In Batam, that's not the case.
The exchange offices offer very good rates, at least for SGD and for USD. I think this has to do with the need of foreign cash by local business (they wish foreign CASH and not money transfer, guess why eheh...)
This makes the usage of credit cards less convenient than changing your SGD to IDR then paying cash.

For example, you wrote "today evenin rate is 9650 for one sin$."
In this moment, I read on Yahoo 1 SGD = 9644.45 IDR and on XE (updated real time) 1 SGD = 9648 IDR, nearly the same as your rate (there is a difference between the rate to BUY and the rate to SELL).
This means that, approximately, if you pay by credit card your exchange rate would be roughly 9500 (losing 1.5% compared to your 9650 rate for cash).

Unless you don't pay a big amount, the difference is small (few dollars on a hotel bill after a week stay) and should be not a reason to give up the comfort of electronic payments.
HOWEVER, in Batam not many accept credit cards, except hotels, important shops or restaurants, KTV, pubs, etc.

In conclusion, I always use cash except when I checkout at Formosa

200716-220716 (3D2N)

1st day: Reach Harbourbay @ 1030am with a friend Bro C (its his 3rd/4th time in Batam). Preparation for meet up with my regular ojek were done 1 day before and off we go and change our SGD to RP in front of Formosa hotel. Once change money we head over to hotel. Told my ojek to meet us at 1pm at the lobby with a car since its about to rain soon. Put our bags in our room and we walk over to Avava/Ramayana to do some shopping @ 11.30am. Got a call from my ojek that hes waiting for us at the lobby now and we are still at Avava, i realize i got my timing wrong, lol so we rush back to hotel put our items and jump off to our car and on our way to do more "shopping".

Timing was 1315pm, 1st stop Indah 2, there are around 10-15 gals, saw a couple that me and my friend are interested, kindly told the OKT we back soon. When in MM, gals are roughly the same numbers from Indah but none for me and Bro C, head over to Bunga, have about 15-20 gals, fish tank were full of gals, there were no empty sits in front of us, I talk to the granny mami who knows me (not just her, some of the gals too know me) have some chit chat with her and told we come back later. Have a quick stop at Hawaii, i make it simple for this one, cannot make it for the gals there. Now we when to Happy, by this time its already pouring rain, selection there is the same as Bunga, sits were full of gals. Since me and Bro C are not like most guys who when inside Happy, sit @ the stool light a cig or drink like we are in a kopitiam, we went right in the fish tank and have a better look at the gals. i saw 3 that are to my liking and Bro C has a few too. Plump mami ask me why dont wana choose, i told her im shy, she jokingly say u every time comes here got shy meh. We laugh. Kindly reject her and off we went to Berry by this time Bro C have decided to pick 1 at Indah, (Erica, paid 1.3mil nego from 1.5mil) and Irene from Happy for his 2nd day, (which we went back on 2nd day) me still none, we went in Berry, this place is even worse than Bunga, not just the OKT knows me, all the gals to the cleaner knows me from my days with 1 of gals there, i call her my ON gal. (which i didnt realize untill the gal i book today told me she was there sitting) So i book a gal from Berry for my 1st day and Bro C book a gal from Indah. The rest of the day is pretty mundane so i just skip to the action that matters.

On a side note, Berry price has gone up for most gals quite considerably, you can still find syt at 1.2mil at Berry 5 to 6 months ago but now most are range around 1.3mil and above and those lower price end are cannot make it ones. (i do have a theory maybe Berry boss thinks if customers are willing to pay high prices at Bunga & Happy, why not at Berry. Even thou Berry have not much gals then those 2 joints but they do have a few selections, also the intimidating malay OKT (tharmidzi) is no more working at Berry. hes been fired due to "corruption", so now newbies wont felt scared/intimidated when going to Berry. Lol.

My 1st day gal (nothing to shout about but here it goes):

1st round: 200716 1530hrs:

Came to my hotel, have a few chit chat, and told me lets fuck. she undress, i undress, and i lick/suck on her nip, i think this has to be the smaller nips that i suck, felt to small in my mouth anyway who am i to complain, so told her its her turn, she do a bbbj on me, she have a weird way for sucking me thou. Yes, she did suck my pole and make her way on top my penis, she did a weird circular motion with her tongue on top of my pee hole, i have to admit it felt nice but weird at the same time, every time she does this i beh tahan liao so yeah that is that. Put my cap on, while putting my cock in her i ask myself why it felt so tight, its not as if shes a SYT or look young? or maybe theres no lubrication thats why it felt tight anyway so i pump her missionary and i cum in 10 mins. Since she mention to me that my ON gal is there, i told her i be right back and left her in my room. When to Berry again, and i book my ON gal for tomorrow.

2nd round: 200716 2100hrs:

After we had our dinner (told her to ask her ojek to buy dinner for us) she ask me wana fuck, told her of cos la. Most gals wont do a bbbj right after having a meal but she did it thou, again with the weird circular technic (i started making noise again). Told her to cow girl me, about 5 mins can see shes already tired, she ask for change of position, again with the missionary, again i felt the tightness (this time shes making all the noises). i ask for doggy (my favourite) pump her 10 mins and cum in doggy style. End of 2nd round.

3rd round 210716 0800hrs:

Woke up, abit of freshen up, and i started to lick her nips and like i say earlier nothing out of the ordinary this gal, so i pump her and i cum in missionary position. Tip her and off she went off @ 0900hrs

For my 2nd day i just skip to the action.

1st round: 210716 1700hrs:

Came to my hotel room, and the 1st thing she ask is, how many time did i do with her friend, told her why she want to know? Jealous coming from her? i doubt so? anyway she say shes horny liao, give me a 10 -15 mins bbbj, she kept saying she love my cock, i laugh, ON gal jump on top of me and do cow gal style by this time shes making all kind of noises, ask me to do doggy which i did, pump her about 5-10 mins, she ask to do missionary cos she about to cum, pump her again about 10-15 mins and she makes to loudest scream when she cum, i cum too but i didnt scream la. lol. End of 1st round.

Head over to Nagoya Hill Mall to catch a movie star trek @1910 hrs. once movie is done, we walk back to our hotel (take about 10-15mins walk). Had our dinner near our hotel, have a 30mins to 1 hr rest and get our self ready to Newton. Move out from hotel @ 0030hrs and head over to Newton. Had fun there for 4 hrs and we call it a night at 0430 hrs. Walk back from Newton to hotel (takes about 10-15mins walk). Reach hotel around/close to 0500hrs and we crash to bed. She told me we fuck later in the morning, i say ok.

2nd round 220716 1100hrs:

Since both of us are too tired, i just fuck her missionary style. im sweating and she does too, again with the screaming when she cum, (she may fake this but who cares) i keep pumping her until i cum. i can felt shes moving her pussy and grabbing my cock. So we clean our self out, i check out, and tip her and off she went @ 1200hrs. End of 2nd round.
