Dear all,
I thought to ask, because maybe there is some idea I did not think about.
I am well used to travel from KL to Batam: Aeroline KL to Singapore HF, Prima Ferries to HB, et voila I am in Nagoya.
For the first time, I will travel in the opposite direction from Nagoya to KL.
I think the best (cost and comfort) will be still to choose Prima Ferries to Singapore HF then Aeroline to Corus Hotel in KL. Or maybe someone would suggest something different?
I checked flights, but one-way ticket with Malindo from Batam BTH to Subang SZB (not KLIA!) would cost nearly 140 SGD (with 25kg luggage). I prefer the bus.
Any other airline?
U can try Firefly... I flew once from KL to Batam almost 2 years ago; can't remember how much it cost me though...
Update: Sorry, I stand corrected... Seems like Firefly don't fly to Batam anymore.
Actually, I think paying $140 is a fair trade-off given that u'll reach KL in 1 hour versus 5-6 hours or even longer with the ferry + train/bus route... Like u said, the time can be better spent enjoying rather than being stuck in a transportation medium....
After all the shopping ( 1 from NB and 2 from Happy)were done, we headed back to Ggi to checkin. It was around 330pm.
Upon arrival , receptionist told us only 1 room was available.
OMG.. 4 star hotel with super late checkin.
No choice, Laurel and Hardy put their belongings into my room while we chit chat and wait for the gals to come at 430pm.
*taking deep breathes while i am reading*

Same here too,if the beginning isnt good,it can really spoil the rest of my day,perhaps even the entire trip too. Still if i know its going to turn out not-so-good,i will try to minimize damage. Go into defense mode,hehehe...
Now you know why i have chose Formosa Hotel/Da Vienna Hotel/Biz Hotel instead. It is becos i hope to have minimum hiccups in my trips.

No wonder no rooms are available as the front desk was not notifiied.
Poor management from the hotel side. Do you know Da Vienna Hotel manager actually replied to some of its customers on Trip Advisor,see...how well their customer service were while still practicing flexibility.
*my April trip almost got messed up at the beginning becos of one Da Vienna staff tho*

BJ and FJ 7/10. Overall only 6/10 for the first round.
No communication and chemistry at all as she plays her handphone during her free time.
One other thing i watch for when choosing a girl from booking joint were their mobile phones. Some of them has as many as 3 to 4,hehehe...these girls usually has no lack of regular customers but service standard can be a disaster to those who didnt know (or if chemistry arent right) if one is not careful.

The total bill for food and beverages for 7 pax including 3 gals and driver came out to be 820,000.
Overall 7/10.
Not bad,not bad...at least it is not as expensive as its being claimed to be. Sorry,i am comparing with those tourist-type restaurant like Wey Wey,Wey Wey2,Harbour Bay Seafood,Golden Prawn series of restaurant and even some sea food shops at Windsor food court.

Ordered 1 jug of Carlsberg which came to 325,000.
Its overpriced but I just wanted L&H to experience Batam nightlife without travelled too far.
Hmm..wonder if you notice any "take out girls" there? Hehehe... this is important becos in an "in case all else fail" situation,one may likely need them. I know Formosa hotel has them and it has plenty of them,hehehe...

Finished our beer in 1 hour and headed back to our respective rooms for OTOT.
Going in at 9pm and stepping out at 10pm plus? Thats a bit too early,too fast to be dwelling in a place. Sorry,i arent good in night spot places and am just curious.

Im going to batam tis cming 30apr..stay planet holiday hotel is it the. Best choice?
I just stayed there recently. Not bad in terms of hotel quality but not for location. If go in a group hired full time driver might be a good choice hotel. But for the location, I cannot even buy a bottle water without using the ojek.

Awaiting....
I still remember, while I stay at da Vienna there is this chio Recep.. Not sure she still work a not. Manage to get her number the other time but have not contacted her.
Ya. Indo ladies usually have many phone.
1 for working, so that okt can contact them
1 for personal, some have 2 personal one for internet. 1 for call n sms
1 for their indo bf or together with their sg bf..

For INCOMPLETE LIST OF MASSAGE CENTRES IN BATAM See link below
...but my bahasa indonesia not good enough to bargain down to local prices, so i also pay like 10-15k for ojeks usually
10k to 20k is the usual pricing for ojek (depending on distance and how you wish to travel) if i move around solo. And i dont understand bahasa too,yet i can still bargain. In fact,i rarely need to bargain for ojek as their 1st quote will mostly be 15k at most part of Nagoya area and 20k from Harbour Bay.

Yes,i totally agree. Always book return ferry if one plans to return on a Sunday. In April trip to Batam,my Sunday return ferry was FULL! 99% full. It is always a good habit to book return ferry at least 1 day beforehand. In fact,most time i will do it even for my weekday trips too.

It is always good to challenge oneself bro. Newbie usually quite difficult to get 100k hj and 200k fj if they dont read. Thats why i wrote quite a lot of stuffs regarding how to go about getting a good price for special service as well as for any other things,which is entirely possible. Ultimately,its a matter whether you DARE or not only.
One other thing i learned in Batam,if you dont bargain,i pay XXX price for a HJ,then girl tells me no roaming and if want to roam,you need to pay extra XX price...then when i roam top and want to roam bottom,they (the girls) will tell me bottom roaming will need to pay XXX amount. Ok,i agreed. Then if i happen to have other Fetish,she will again quote XXXX price. When i dont bargain and agreed with the massage girl's 1st quote of XXX price in the beginning,i will ultimately likely to end up paying XXXXXXXXXX price at the end of the session.
(But if i were to lowered her 1st quote to X price,look at the room for fetishes and other stuffs i can do thereafter?? Thats why i dare say,those who bargained usually gets better services)
After that "you" (i dont literally means "you",so dont misunderstand my words here,hehehe...) will come to this forum or this thread to play Green Bean Soup,telling everyone reading that you paid XXXXXXX price and you enjoyed yourself very very very much and its the best of the best hj or service you ever got in Batam. It was then the more experience readers will know that you are paying the nearly similar price in Silllypore (or higher than usual in Batam) and already got chop carrot.

You got that right,bro. Usually at most time,1 to 3 mins walk away,you can have other options (another massage shop in Batam nearby). Lets not forget,most massage girls usually have an average of about one customer a day (max is 2 unless its days like CNY,Xmas etc,which is considered big/Red major holidays),so if "you" dont take up their offer for special,then its likely their lose,not "yours",hehehe...
Anyway,this is just something i found out only last year.
Having said all these,if one stays too far away from MOST cheonging places till it leaves himself with practically not much choices,then he himself is to be blame. It is why i choose Formosa Hotel to base myself,center of Nagoya's more popular cheonging areas with everything practically under its roof or the least just within 1 to 3 mins walk away (imagine you walk for more than 5 mins,you get even much much more). And when i mean everything,i really do mean...literally Every Thing,hehehe...i do have the habit to avoid using too strong words unnecessarily.

As soon as I arrive to Harbour Bay, my SOP is to walk straight to the Prima Ferries offices to present my return ticket and CHECK-IN for the return one week later.
That way, I can stay 15 mins more in my room at Formosa on my last day (the last 15 minutes can be important) and leave, say, at 18:30 with the boarding pass in hand to catch the ferry of 19:15.
I made the mistake to not book my return on my FIRST visit to Batam 6 years ago. I did not think on Sunday all ferries are full. I seriously risked to miss my flight back to Europe from Changi at midnight
I begged the staff girls at the desk to find a place for me, promising my eternal gratitude. When someone cancelled, one of those girls was ready to catch the seat for me on the system. I was jumping over the desk to hug her, but I stopped. I went to the cafe and I sent a waiter to the desk taking orders from all girls. At the end, I paid 11 fresh juices. Cheap in Indonesia
