Read through this thread previous pages bro. That's my best advise. There's too many time that the bros here got to repeat what was posted before.

Actually in batam want find girl (any time of the day/night) = Just shout on the street SAYA MAU CEWEK, sure got lobang come to you.

If want go a place but do not know how = just shout on the street TAXI/OJEK, sure got lobang come to you.

If do not want to learn this trick, just take some time to read through this thread or upon arriving batam ferry terminal, just stalk the one person/group that you think probably there to chiong. If all of these trick fail, you may drop my points

Thank you bro Hurricane. After i read your post here,it prompts me to go search for my 1st questionnaire post in this thread to reply you and i found it as below :

My requirement pretty simple.

1. Hotel stay 2d1n.

2. Visit joint,bring girl back for overnight.

3. Lunch & dinner (non-sea food) at hotel or around hotel

4. Got time can go shopping or massage together. Not into KTVs & pubs.

5. Hopefully can join the Guide to go and come back Sin together throughout the trip.

6. Willing to pay for 50% of Guide's ferry ticket. Everything else on dutch.

7. Preferably to go on any weekdays.

Thank you.

After making that post above,there was a long awaited silence,no one appears to wants to reply to my post/questions. And it is not that i have never read this thread,in fact i read them twice before asking my questions above. And fuel by my desire to learn on the place which i wish to travel to,i am even more than willing to pay ,and again there was no answers. Which is one of the few main reasons why i write up a Guide specially and exclusively for newbies or 1st timer visiting Batam.

I am a newbie to Batam,i humbled myself to come here to seek answers,i ask some questions,got ignored most of the time and the reason i assume is simple,that is becos the questions to those who knows the answer has already been answered in their post before,right? Now i read this thread a 3rd time,i finally realised the answers i seek were actually widely scattered,and what i mean by being scattered is the reader's lack of understanding of some sentences made thru the old post due to reasons like, command of English and a mix of short-form words used with another non-English language. It makes it difficult to understand even when the answers is right before my eye.

Being a 1st time Batam visitor and a newbie,i went thru this phase of learning in this thread fresh in my mind today. I start collecting these vast amount of important information in this thread (1700 pages x 3) ,archive it ,rearrange them and then put it up in a basic guide form with simple words,fully sentenced for easier understanding. And believe me,it won't be easy for seniors to do what i do becos they are way pass the newbie stage in Batam cheonging,and nearly impossible for newbie to do it too becos they are at most time lazy,hehehe....

What do i gain when i write up a Basic Batam Walk-Through guide?

When informations collide with informations,more informations is being created and i needed those informations. Newbie/1st time Batam visitors after reading my guide ask questions...they ask intelligent questions that i may have missed and the seniors bros here answers them and at the same time i can collect them and make the necessary correction and add on to the next parts of my guide. (the guide is only 25% complete,still got 75% to go)

Another pretty stupid reason why i write my guide is to COUNTER newbies who keeps asking the same questions over and over and over again,even when it is being answered many times.This type of phenomenal will continue to exist as long as this thread or any information thread exist in this forum,and i am sure the HCM thread is also facing the same issue. But with my guide,all newbies who ask repeated basic questions is then direct to read my signature link(the guide). The guide is simple enough & built with a psychological state of mind of a newbie targeting another newbie,so they cannot lie that they have read them when they put up their next question here.

It's a win-win situation. Seniors in this thread no need to keep repeating the answers cos it will be much easier to direct them to my signature. Newbies or 1st time Batam visitors don't have to read 1700 over pages to get answers for their basic questions. After reading my guide,they can then ask more intelligent questions that seniors bros in the threads are more willing to answer. And when these intelligent questions are answered,the real information sharing comes into the picture and everyone reading benefits from it. And we will hereby live up to the name of this thread's title "Batam Info Thread".

This cycle will keep going on to keep this thread alive.

haha...I understand what you are trying to say and do...trust me...no use because newbies being newbies are blind...plain lazy...they just rather ask...and the thing why I stopped answering questions including pm...simply because when I answered one question...they have 10 more questions to ask...haha...my signature had been there since 2008 and constantly updated in my website...foc yes free no charge...so why do I bother to answer if I give help foc....

so I make another things easier for newbies...I asked newbies to make friends with me by intro me who they are...haha...guess what...I managed to cut alot of newbies who I am not keen to meet...simply they have wrong ideas and intentions...now only share info (those local HCM playground) with friends only...

Is human nature. Why bother to read through pages of info and try to sieve out the relevant one when it's much more easier to shoot off a pm or forum post and get the exact answer. Some even take a further step by asking you to reply via pm so thar they don't have to search the forum for your reply to their questions.

I understand the need for efficiency when researching for info for academic or work purpose. But, this is for pleasure. Just simply relying on provided might cause you to miss out important tips that are contained in the forum posts and can only be found by reading them.
