Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread

[Hurhurrahrah]

Ground report, just went to maybe 4-5 joints, no girls are ready yet

[Lingo]

Hahaha!!! Unlike cheongers (with big sperms tank) , they have to release...they must find outlets...for elderly, what can Batam offer them ? Worse, if they are tested with high fever, they are not allowed to board the ferry back...
They will be visiting hospital (a tourist attraction), cry Father , Mother !!!!
Hahaha!!!

[tangoten0]

Travelling tomorrow to Batam. Any special restrictions to take note of e.g. quarantine etc? I haven't seen any yet.

Booking joint still good and 'full' of ladies?

Not just boking joints even massage places around utama are afraid to have chinese customers from SG coming in. Looks like the locals are having the fun for now.

Haiz....feeble minded lot. Tot with social media may improve their knowledge. Lets see how long their business can survive without tourist dollars. Doesnt they know virus is invisible and any colours can catch it? Maybe one way to chg their mindset is for some chinese indon to get inflicted with the virus...and let it spread fast and furious

Good. As i had mentioned previous post. Matter of time virus will catch up with the locals.

Oh ya. Few days back I met couple of chinese indons fm Batam. They been here past 3 weeks. Met them at ICA bldg. Told me they dont trust their garment and health authority there. They believe the virus already spreading in btm. They trust sillypore medical hosp. They were applying for extension of stay here.

wonder how many test kits Indon or Batam hv...

wonder why the local hospital in Indon cannot get results within 3 hrs...the Indon guy flew in on private plane from JKT to get tested and now treated at Gleneagles hospital...

similar to Vietnam...many locals dun go hospital or clinic when ill...they simply buy med from pharmacy...

Vietnam just banned Europeans to enter for 30 days...

Just adding in some information to some of my previous posts :

https://sammyboy.today/showthread.php?p=...7#post19837127

and this link about Formosa look-alike :

Trinity (or Triniti) Hotel, a hotel rather far out but still in the Nagoya area.

Only their Deluxe room has balcony and it cost around S$38. Best part is, smoking is allowed,hehehe...feels is more like Zest Hotel but with fresh air coming from the balcony.

Walking from this hotel to Nagoya Hill Mall would be about 10 mins or so (knowing the direction and not walking too slowly).

Just an add-on information post.

If you have a headache,i can either give you panadol or water. You can only be given water because you cannot afford panadol,hehehe...i will talk to your next-of-kin on some hospital white table with many "headache" department of probably a dozen medical experts, professionals, nurses, undertakers etc...at the same time telling them (your next-of-kin etc) how much panadol would cost and how much the bill will come out to if you are given it 3 times a day continously for the next 2 weeks. And you will need to fork out some percentage of the forwarded bill in advance, in the next few day if you choose the panadol package. Or you will be given just the "water" package.

Your headache can cure or cannot cure is another matter.

Thats what Singapore Hospital practice all the time to the people i knew who are Singaporean. I am sort of sure many will find this familiar,hehehe...

Agreed that it can be quite irritating.

I dont mind them coming out in the night but during the day...hehehe...i totally ignore them. Just take it as free music.

Anyway, i eat fast. As in i can complete my meal within 5 mins, waiting about 10 mins at best. Hence i rarely gets to see them. Of course, thats when i am on solo mode. If i have friends, i leave those "buskers" to the hands of my friends.

But i need to add this, most busking artist i met were quite nice people. If i ignore them, they just move on and many whom impressed me with non-Indo songs, when i tip them...they didnt just take money and go away. They finished singing at least a full song before going to the next table.

I respect those people. Got hand got leg, they dont go around begging for money.

One more thing, i dont give money to kid/s in Batam going around singing song or playing a guitar during my meal or buy newspaper from them. Nor will i buy anything from them. However, i do occasionally buy them food to takeaway (thats if they stay long enough in the coffee shop area).

I mean who really believe what garben have to say on the tele or radio. That's why garden says turn orange all believe and buy toilet papers, rice and etc.

Of cos every indo who have the money to spend they gonna say SG medical hospital is better, even indo celebrites when to SG hospital to have final opearation to save thier lives but on some cases even with better medical it couldnt save life.

Anyway no water shortage, area that I stay is flowing with water.
