Thanks. Looks like I have to change my time. Have any of you tried planet. I went there last month. Hotel is very nice but quality of fish is poor, maybe I was too late around 10pm......

Above price based on Top100 supermarket located few units away from Dynasty. Try to avoid buying from major supermarkets (such as HERO in Centre Point and Matahari) as their barang barang cost about 10% higher than Top100.
Certain provision shops charges certain barang barang cheaper than others. (Exampe: The nasi padang shop beside Centre Point (Hotel Hallo Batam side) only charges Rp7,000 for a pack of local Marlboro, while the road side store outside Dynasty charges Rp8,000).
Halo all!!! After my near brush with the grim reaper...i m back...thx 4 the concern by bro DNAT,cuntalk etc....
Anyway, since the taxi fares is my speciality. i will like 2 add that its possible 2 get a 15k rp trip frm the port 2 nagoya area...The trick is 2 act zhai when u 1st see the pack of sharks at the entrance...jus shout centrepont,matahari etc etc...and say 15 k rp...i gurantee u that they will b shocked at 1st as u r bringing the game 2 them on their own ground...Then due 2 nature's law of spoil market, there will definitely b a few that will take up ur offer....BUT wait!!!! they r not mr nice guys!!! They r tinking of conning u on ur way 2 ur destination...standard sop stupid words include " boss i bring u find bagus loi? " etc etc....keep rejecting and REMEMBER 2 pay them once u board the cab!!! i remember bro DNAT saying tat wat if they act blur and say u havnt pay them when u alight...well....Jus gif them the middle finger...but by using tis method...be prepared 2 hear words like F#@k u, Ch$^%&, etc etc when they realise that they canot con u....jus take it tat they r singing la.....
Agree wif bro meatlover tat u canot call cab frm prominent places like joints,shopping centre...jus walk a few more steps and take a cab frm the side roads....the trick is DUN flag 4 a cab...i gurantee + chop tat there will b lots of cab...jus tell them ur location and say 5k rp or lima or go cheng(hokkien)...they will say no of course and u jus walk off...and as bro meatlover says...they will most prob call u back la...dun worry...u will definitely get a cab wifin a few mins....
Thats my part on saving costs on taxis...Dun wan 2 touch on other areas as there r defintely more qualified pple than me who has jus restarted my cheonging....

Another tip 4 those on maiden trip 2 BT and still do not believe tat its quite safe 2 jalan jalan in the streets even in daylight is 2 check into a budget hotel and use room service...Below includes my favs cos is cheap
Hotel 88(lapan lapan)
Cost-$26(standard) $28(deluxe)
Tink its the same price 4 weekends and weekdays cos they always charge me the same price...Due the the fact of the rising rupiah against sing dollar..its highly recommended to gif them sing dollar cos the hotel has fixed the conversion rate at 5k rp as like in the gd old days......Deluxe rm has bath tub n refrigerator...porno frm 12 to 6...But only on weekend...sometime heng then weekday oso haf...Rm sevice is cheap!!! plate of meegoreng sent 2 the safety of ur rm only at 18k rp...So its quite affordable to every1...Its gd 4 those cheongsters who do not wish 2 explore BT and jus wan 2 get cewek and book into hotel and bonk bonk bonk till next morn...I oso started out wif this mentality....To make tings even more convenient, there are ard 4 ktvs within walking distance and also within viewing distance..So bros can jus BLL walk and choose ur ceweks..Joints inclue rose garden,Dragon lady...etc....

This hotel is at the end of Windsor area and also on the outskirts of Pelita Square ... Surrounding area pretty rundown ... A pretty value for money hotel if you're on a budget trip ...

In addition, never put your personal safety at risk .... Batam could be very chaotic when disputes and problems arise ....
