BTW, was at A1 foodcourt on the 2nd night for dinner with my cewek and a driver. The place is over-rated. Bloody karaoke while youre eating is not my idea of a good time. Food was average at best (crab was a little old and not too tender) and with 2 large bottles of Bintang came to about Rp. 150,000 for the 3 of us. Better to head out to the kelong restaurants (but avoid Golden Prawn as that is where all the taxis want to bring you to) but they're all at a distance out of Jodoh/Nagoya.

Got to know a SYT on the internet chat room. She asked me to go and visit her. Not sure if I should go cos it could be a scam. Any advice?

hi bro raverboy.. am glad that you enjoyed the hotel as much as i did.. but the cab fares, i paid only 25K.. not much of difference anyway..
yes the touting, at least when i was there, has literally stopped and no form of bribery either.

Me planning to go again in June or July bro.. let's cheong! WOOHOO! hahaha.. sorry... me going abit seow liao..

Cheers

Are there any massage or spa for couples in Batam? Preferable not too expensive. Or any massage place that caters to couples.

Thanks

You mean the clean and actual type of massage?
If so can try Tree Spa in Holiday Inn hotel, very nice and high class, but near Sg price.
The other one is Sports Massage. they have 2 outlets in Nagoya, most taxi driver will know the locations.

For clean massage, you can also try Sawadika at Nagoya...it is just next to Top 100...the 2 recept are chio...most of the gals there are ok but no hanky panky...however, they are very good at teasing but they will never do it...maybe outside if they like you...

Thanks for the info guys. Will check the places out when i get there.
Am thinking of getting a private room for me and my girl for massage. After the shiok massage, think maybe the masseurs will leave us alone for hehe.....

So i was wondering if there are any spa/massage places (nice and romantic ambience) but not too ex (say less than $100 for 2) for a few hours of service plus use of facilities.

Is Harris resort nice? Anyone been there? Which resort in Batam is worth checking out?

Who is this MY GIRL?
Bring GF to Batam for holiday??
I need more details from you so that I can suggest to you what and where is nice, accordingly to your actual needs...
Cos for most people here, they will be coming alone and looking for GF after arrival, then it's the normal "game play", know what I mean?!??

[bestbest]

Hey BtmMan,

Any good food joint outside Water Front City to recommend? Where and how much is the taxi fare?

Also, may sound a little strange, is there any mini theme park or amusement park for children? Hope you dun mind as I may be planning a trip with an extended family to either Holiday Inn or Harris.

Terima Kasi.
