It will take time to do all the repair work and I am giving myself a couple of months (who knows I may take years,hehehe...),maybe even need to redo all the food listings,summaries and all that. Its also about time I do an update too. Anyway,i am not rushing to compete it.

The MOST important however is the Batam Basic Travelling guide for 1st timer which has already been repaired, so as to help most newbies who are willing to learn to get to and survive Batam for the 1st few times,hehehe...the repaired basic guide is also on my signature too.

u tink is worth it or nt?

Its more for myself rather than for others. So I don't mind doing it and will only do it in my own pace. All info are still intact however,except the pics.

Hehehe...I feel like going thru the "journey to the west" all over again.

Its hard work I know, but travelling the same path again, i think I can do it better than before. Strengthen my 'heart' too.

Hehehe...yes,you have become more intelligent (and better). Turning a bad weather (or a not-so-good situation) in Batam to your advantage.

Rainy weather were one of the best time where business isn't as good, hence giving hardworker and lesser fussy people more choices (even better choices if timing is right).

If you become 'wet' during cewek shopping on a rainy weather,you may wish to go back hotel to ask your girl give you a "warm" shower,hehehe...

Enjoy!

Hi

Anyone know if the promotion price for Venus Spa is still available?

It was supposed to end 2 weeks ago, but the banner is still up last week I passed by.

May pop by when I'm there end of the month, if the promotion is still on.

You may wish to drop them a call when you are around there to confirm? (I doubt anyone will travel from Nagoya to Batam center just to have a spa or vice versa) I mean since the banner also state promo is until 15th Jan 2017.Its just a matter of being safe than going down there and be sorry when most of us knew that Batam's business entities can hold a double standard for different category of customer/s (tourists/locals).

Hope that helps.

Cheers!

Yup, probably I'll just pop by since I go by Batam Centre anyway. It's Hawkeye's FR that picked my interest in that place.

Unless yr plan is 2 cover face & ram the base type...

Remember to take lots of photos/videos and put them in your site or the Vietnam thread. Usually these places of nature emits (or radiate) a lot of O2 and ion (positive energy) which is good for health (able to help one lives longer and healthier).

Yes,you should go have a look see since you pass by there often. There can often be surprises awaiting,hehehe...

One of the Batam Men's Spa which i see it a waste to have shut down is Newton Spa,hehehe...where the girls will parade around the hot pool area and/or even at times ,will dip into the pool with the customers there,hehehe...now,i can only see such in Jakarta.

That kind of service i guess is of high maintenance and not-very sustainable if the there arent enough customers. I have been there twice (newton spa). Their massage room where i have my massage is close to a Zest Hotel bedroom,hehehe...with a double (or nearly triple) the New Spa bath area.

Venus spa managing style reminds me of Keyza/Ocean. Once they got the business ,customer pays higher. When promo or offer stop,customers declined. And when it does,promo comes back again...but by then its already too late. They turn off the tap when there are demands. They lost their base. Hence i am now looking at Delta Spa to see if history will repeat for them but my heart is actually somewhere else,hehehe...
