Received a WhatsApp promotion by Hotel Maxi on their 50% discount off their listed price. But, do compare with booking apps. Usually can get better price.

Should be for Ramadhan period. I didn't read in detail as I don't go Balai nowadays. I recall they had "Buy 1 Get 1" free last year, also during Ramadhan. Good for those who cheong with friends.

Express queue => 50k rupiah.

Hari Raya is coming, everyone is looking for more money, you say leh? Even the ticket checker before you enter the waiting area also will ask for kopi.

No, not ferry crew. It's the gantry that you have to pass through before entering the waiting area to board the ferry.

Anyway, these ibuk checking the ticket are just trying their luck lah. No ask, no chance to get $. If ask, at least got 50% chance...

As for immigration officer, I'm referring to those that goes to the back of the queue to offer "express lane". You know the situation at Villa. Get stucked at immigration for half hour or more and the better stock at Villa likely to be gone...
