I tried reading n reading but alot of the info/list are not update and there are thousand of pages.

Wow... With the myriad of taxi abangs there waiting at the ferry terminal, you still can manage to get no actions at all.... Normally, if you take the taxi from ferry terminal, the taxi driver will automatically ask you want to find girls or not one...

Anyway, what recommendations depends on what you want lor... If book ceweks from joints, check SBY1's posts. Recently, he made a post with a whole list of joints. If want massage joints, check bro newyorker88's sig. He has a list of massage joints which indicate got specials or not.

You are going tomorrow which I think is a long weekend right? Better take an earlier ferry and make sure you're ready to go hunting by as early as 11 am cos if the following factors:

1. Saturday
2. Long weekend
3. Near to salary period => lots of spare cash in pockets => head grow horns... (both heads...)

As for the location of joints to book ceweks, search back my posts. I think I made one on how to go to the joints located around Nagoya area. If in doubt, the taxi abangs will be very happy to help you. If you take road side taxi to go hunting, try to nego for no taxi fare because they will get commission from the joint when you book the cewek. Don't believe it when they say they don't get. If they insist on charging you taxi fare, just go to the next taxi. So many there, you throw a stone blindly and chances are you will hit a taxi driver.

I don't go disco nor ktv, so not able to help much here.

Hope this helps.

Usually road blocks, they look for motorcycles... I just pass thru waving at them. Or you just bo chup them.

If you commit an offence( going the wrong way, or turn when you not suppose), they will ask you to go to their police post, and there, they talk. Usually money lah.

Also not to forget booking return ticket early if u don't want to end up with surprise sun return all booking full.

For the taxi driver even if u just exit from a taxi another supir can ask u immediately 'taxi bang?mana?'cool?

Those who offer to take you to joints & say they don't get Comm are 101.36782% bullshit.they get comm not just from joint but also from makan place,hotel shopping place,decent massage spa & the list goes on.some place even give comm+1 pack of cigrette to the driver who bring customer to thier business.

My ex regular driver requesting me to change hotel cause the hotel only pay him one time comm for multiple day stay instead of continuous comm compare to other hotel who pay daily comm for everyday the customer extend.Needless to say,he's fired.


Batam has become expensive enough for the last few years.I just hope it don't rocket up further so soon from the 'kind generous' abang from sg land.

If one has supernatural vision to see what these supir view us as......

Batam has been more expensive than other parts of indonesia, other than Jakarta and Surayabaya, medan for quite some time already, not just recent years.

All prices are going up everywhere, not just batam, but other parts of indoland as well.

thanks, president, as always good stuff (videos)....i find that indo cewe are very filial and love their family....they will become ayam, just to support them...this is very rare in the developed countries...
we, cheongers, in a way help them, of course, they help us calm our brothers too...hehe!!! so sometimes, a nasty cewe..just bear with it and give a little money and ask them to leave....their lives are not easy !!!
those syt in the little dot are really lucky...and they are fully `Protected`too....
`lots of kids but where are the fathers?` the mothers can only complaint to Allah!!!! 50%, may be more of the families are without fathers or mothers....

If looking to book ceweks, please avoid resorts as they are most probably located in places far away from town. Not to say that you can't stay resort and bring your booked cewek there, the return trip will be a nightmare for the cewek if you don't give a bit more tips to cover her taxi back to joint. Harris resort is very out of the way, Harris hotel, on the other hand, is just opposite batam centre ferry terminal. But it's expensive at about 400k plus rp.

For cheap hotel and convenient to book cewek, I always recommend Lovina Inn. Just imagine Hotel 81 but at 40% of H81's price. Be sure to book the Nagoya branch though as there's another older branch at Penuin area.

HTH.
