There was one time I brought a bottle of water into a food court and ordered some food there. However I was told cannot bring outside food or water in. But haven't been charged any extra.

Any recommendations on the pubs around Harmoni Hotel? Those where the girls will follow you back?

Fyi,it is oso against Indonesia law to sell alcohol to Muslim & who knws one day,the indo government is going to Ban alcohol altogether since it has already been legally banned in Papua and Surabaya. (that's according to the recent news)

According to their name card, the address -

Nagoya Business Centre No. 9-10
(Samping Hotel Istana Batam)

I suppose the address has already included a hotel which should be the nearest one. However, Formasa or Hans Inn is also very close and with higher standard accommodation.

The only establishment(s) that I have encountered in Batam are the cinemas (XXI & Blitz), which is understandable cos the main bulk of their revenue comes from their concessionary stand sales; can't exactly make money out of 25k - 40k per ticket.

Yes, was quite suprised too when I looked at the bill which I usually don't take note.

We ordered frog leg from another stall nearby fyi.

If you do and get the ball rolling, every time you go there with the same therapist, you get the same price with the exception of sometime giving extra 50k for tip.

I am actually quite reliant on google translate when i talk to them. And when they use google translate to convey their message to me,it kind of also jeopardize my massage time. Timing to me is very important,wrong day,wrong timing at the massage shop,it would be less easy to get 100k HJ and 200k FJ.

No harm giving an extra 30k to 50k extra tip if she does her job REALLY well since i dont exactly count in 100k HJ and 200k FJ as a form of tipping.(it would be more of an agreed price for a task-to-be-done)

One more thing to add,once i get so accustomed to a particular therapist,their standard of service tends to drop. So i dont exactly enjoy sticking to any one particular therapist or massage lady for long.

(For info only and not for sharing the place)

Agreed with you,some of the places i went to,the girls didnt even bother asking if i want special or pop GQ (becos they see my face there quite regularly,hehehe..). After all the deed was done,i ask them how much do i owe them and they often tells me, "Up to you"... and when they say that,i usually give them 10k (hj) most time ...just to tease them,hehehe...i didnt really give them 10k rupiah for a hj of course. But i like to see their surprised facial expression from the 10k rupiah,hehehe...you know,that kind of expression when a person is disappointed,then suddenly the tide turns in favor for them and they suddenly become happier,hehehe...

Surprise gifts of a box of J.Co 24 mini donuts works pretty well,hehehe...(cost less than 50k and my regular girl/s there is happy to share it with her colleagues)

Hence the right timing is crucial.

I remember there was twice i recommended a few closer friends to a few of those pure breed Indo Chinese girls joint and i was surprise my friend wasnt offered the GQ. He came out telling me that the girl didnt offered him GQ and this incident actually happened twice. (the girls speak relatively fluent teochew/hokkien & English)

Maybe the girl/s may have thought that my friends were just as stingy as me,hehehe...or maybe she doesnt need to offer special service to every customers or MAYBE,she already chopped (carrot) someone else that day which could last her a few days/weeks,hehehe...I am just guessing.

Or you may want to stay at Hana Hotel. It's just opposite New Berry and about 7-8 minutes walk to Happy 8.

You will have much better luck staying at Nagoya. There's only one that I know about but it's nothing to shout about plus, they are not cheap.

Bros going to Batam should take note that those going in from SG will now have to fill up a health declaration form and also go through the infra-red heat scanner; all these will definitely increase the time taken to clear immigration.

My friend went to Batam yesterday (disembarked at Harborbay) and was delayed by almost 40 mins because of the additional measures.

If you are running a temperature, suggest that u temporarily skip Batam (or traveling anywhere for that matter) as you are likely to be quarantined.
