Hmm...a new Korean Restaurant in Batam Nagoya Hill Mall.

Hehehe...i am sure many who knew me probably would knows what i wish to say. Busan reminds of the Korean zombie movie, "Train to Busan". No zombie meat for sale here tho...hehehe...

I didnt try this restaurant obviously, since they were not open (perhaps due to the zombie apocalypse,hehehe..) but just went over to buy Hypermart to buy some fruits to munch inside hotel room.

One of life's most enjoyable thing in Batam, is to get the girls to slowly peel the skin off the grapes to mouth-feed me. This kind of service only appears in the very olden days inside an emperor's palace,hehehe...

Oh, and the bill on the fruits just for the record.

Imagine this, one full cup of mango juice w/o ice cost about 6k rupiah,hehehe...and there is no water added,just purely 100% mango squeezed juice. Not recommended for bros with diabetes tho.

Too much fried and/or BBQ stuffs during my days in Batam hence the need to consume something less heaty. Taking lots of fruits can be a good choice.

I agreed with this.

If anyone would have visit PRCs in Singapore, the service is quite SOP, just that in China, they do the SOP better. If anyone been visiting Thai girls in Singapore, Thailand's Thai girls would be better. Same i believe for the Vietnamese girls in Vietnam when one visit Vietnam comparing with Singapore.

Its like an apple taken from Malaysia to Singapore, taste is good but when i go to Malaysia for the same apple, it seems to taste even better. Now, i compare apple from Malaysia with those from Japan, hmm...with the expectation i have from my Malaysia apple, i find Malaysia apple would taste better or worse than Japan. But the Japanese and/or other country's apple fan would probably feel otherwise.

Just illustrating.

Same here,hehehe...i wont openly share contact information of any girls in Batam openly in public. But i will share information of a girl who stole from me or a girl offering out-of-the-world lousy service.

Another pointer, direct link of SBF's url is banned by Indonesia's isp, just like in Sg. U can share info of a very nice FL girl who work this trade or a special girl in a mp in Sg openly, in no time she'll hv to close shop/move on. Same for btm.

This is what i tell most of my friends in Batam. If SBF is banned in Sillypore, what makes one think that the Singapore authorities isnt watching it? Likewise from the Indonesia side.

And to top it further, what makes one think that the girls and OKTs in Batam isnt looking in this thread or the SBF forum? Since this is an international sex forum, and was also banned by the Indonesia authorities.

I asked some OKTs in those regular booking joints i visited before, none of them has never heard of SBF,hehehe...and most time whenever i book a girl in Batam, my laptop screen inside my room shows the SBF url most of the time,hehehe...those who knew me well enough would know on average, how many computers there are in my hotel room.

A simple 2d1n trip for me with ovrnite girl generally cost abt 38+30+100, ferry+hotel+girl, way cheaper than many other countries. That's solely my bill before bargaining & i often have an enjoyable good time in btm.

Recent last 2 to 3 months, mine was at 15,60,80 for 2D1N. In the next 3 to 4 months, i will try a 0,60,80.

Come to think of it, CNY20 is coming on 25th Jan 2020, i look forward to a 0,0,80...hehehe...and i already booked my room. Maybe next month will go down to settle payment. I am eyeing on October 2019's ferry ticket, that expires on Dec 2019. I need to work harder on the free room stay now,hehehe....so far, i only accumulated free 2 nights, so i have 3 more nights to work on.

Just sharing.

I would NEVER drive a car in Batam. And the reason is: what happens in case of accident? Imagine first a simple accident with damage on cars (the car you drive, and then also other cars), then a more serious one where someone is injured, then the worst, where someone is severely injured or dies.

Do cars in Batam have insurance? Mostly not. Does YOUR car have insurance? Do YOU have an insurance that covers the damage you make, if you drive in Batam?

What is the SOP if you are hit or hit some other car? And if people is injured? Police comes? Then? You are detained until the responsibilities are clarified? And if you are recognized guilty or partially guilty?

I don't really want to find myself in such a situation.

Great comment and reason why I dun encourage drive or ride when in overseas or Vietnam...simply too many incidents can happened...

An old man about 70+ asked me to go with him to overseas...I asked him go alone...answer if anything happened to him overseas I had to contact his family to bring him home or his body home...told him if he had any contingencies plan if anything happened to him...that git him thinking...

Johor Baru? Malaysia is not Indonesia. If I am not wrong, in Malaysia most people have got an insurance. If you rent a car officially, the car has an insurance. As far as I know, in Batam most locals DO NOT have an insurance.

At least, if one drives in Batam, should have an insurance from home country covering ALSO damage to third party if driving. Imagine you kill someone in an accident, or you make someone severely injured, and police detaines you until you don't pay enough to the family to refund the damage. This may happen also if it is not your fault 100%.

Said all this, I know I talk like I can lecture everyone, but I admit I am not Mr. Perfect. Me too I drove motorbike at times, from Pacific to Formosa, with a drunk girl sit at the back (the owner of the bike). Just a short ride.

...just to have a good laugh,hehehe...

It tells me different story on each of them tho. Some dont read (online/ticket/coupon instructions), some are plain ignorant, and some are just trying to be picky. I am not saying Horizon has got no fault to it tho but things just happened at the wrong time wrong place in "just that moment". They however have one thing in common tho, thats they either never take a ferry to Batam before or only done so once in a very long time ago.

Nonetheless, its a good lesson for myself,hehehe...as my expectation has gone higher over time.

I have hid 7 out of the 8 complaining messages, so if you would like to be like me and read it like a joke to bring a smile to start the day, simply click on the spoiler button. Otherwise, can just skip this post.

Cheers!

PS : For every 1 bad review i have on the above, i can actually find on average about 3 good ones. So its not all bad,neither is it all good. To be fair, there will never "all good and no bad" or all "bad and no good" in all things.
