ACIA is famous now. Can be very crowded.

I was cheated once in a place there. Since then, when I go to Windsor, I always go to 999. It never disappointed me. They see I am a returning customer and they also give me a small discount every time, rounding down on the order of 30k.

If you go to Santaria after midnight, until say 1:30am or so, you might still see a bule busy chatting on his phone connected to the wifi.
I saw him 2-3 times last week, when I went there to drink something with one of my girls. He might be still there.

He was very happy and surprised to see another bule, so he wanted to exchange some words. He stays in Sekupang. I guess he just took a ferry from Singapore then settled there for some days ("Yes nothing there, no nightlife at all!").
At night he comes to Nagoya. To enjoy nightlife? NO. To eat and sit down busy on phone at Santaria.
I asked how he comes and go, thinking he was spending a lot on taxi. NO. He moves back and forth by BiCYCLE. He showed me the bicycle parked among bikes at Santaria.
He takes about 30-40 minutes on bicycle to go from Nagoya back to Sekupang. I was worried for him, bicycling at night without lights, but he showed me he has a portable flashlight. He looked very happy for his holidays.

30-40 mind considered very fast already. This morning took an ojek to sekupang terminal without any traffic 25 mins

Maybe he stay nearer side of sekupang near baloi .. Don't think tiban has any hotel except one and I doubt he know how to get there

I was speechless when he told me that.
Btw, Google Maps says that from Nagoya Hill to Sekupang the driving time is 21 mins (15 mins without traffic). I think Google never drove around Batam.

However, I would have not believed that, if I did not see the bicycle parked there.
My assumption was that he took a ferry to Sekupang and once there he looked around for some accommodation.

Plan....plan....plan....hehehe....

2 more days to Batam.

Today,is the last day of the Batam Newbie group trip and it is coming to an end soon...its also the most difficult time of the trip where i have to decide if i should extend another night of my trip or not,hehehe...

This trip is pretty basic,but with the total number of heads i need to manage,its a real challenge. Objective of the trip,to get the new guys to understand the basics.

Briefly for this trip,the girls were mainly taken from New Berry and Bunga. Massage places we went to were Keyza and Altalanta. Dinner were at Acia Ikan Bakar behind center point and Marine Live sea food (with 13 heads). Number of headcounts were 1+2 on day 1,and 1+5 on day 2. And day 3 is the day to say good bye,heaven.

Overall rating for this trip as of up to now should 8.5/10 (almost fix unless something cropped up at the last min,hehehe..). Its a very busy trip for me this time round but thanks to everyone,as everyone were nice and cooperative.

Weekday around 1.30pm for more choices in most booking joints. Weekends would need to go early at around 1230pm. Right timing,right button to press...for better choices.

There are SYTs at below a million rupiah with looks at above 7.5/10. This trip (the 22nd trip), we manage to see a few ranging around 900k to 950k.Last trip,the 21st trip i see 800k SYTs but she request to go off at 4am+.

Saw a 19 year old SSYT priced at 1.2mil booked by a bro,hehehe... Great service since that bro gave at least 7.5/10 rating with 4 rounds. Not forgetting girl leaves after 9am next morning,hehehe...

I am suspecting Da Vienna and Formosa belongs to the same boss since 2 trips ago.

I have never ate at Windsor before. Dont intend to do so or bring newbie there.Not even Golden Prawn,Wey wey,Harbour Bay sea food etc. It a tourist trap on my book. Of course,anyone may feel free to explore.

Harbour Bay mall got Couple Seats type for movies,hehehe...there are also temples in Batam known to give the "right" numbers for the 4D results in Sillypore. Not forgetting there is a bowing alley at BCS mall too. Batam shopping mall game arcade and the hair saloons (for hair cut,hair wash,face wash etc)is also a great place to kill time at a low price.

May you have an even better next trip.
