Yep,thats the one...hopefully it gets to screen in Batam. How time flies,next month got to start preparing for CNY 2018. The 1st day falls on 16th Feb 2018,on a Friday. Gonna keep up with those foreign workers AGAIN,hehehe...its the time of the year where most parts of my regular guides were pretty much useless, unless I am referring back to my own CNY 2017,2016 and 2015 trip summaries.

did u cum across any indo-viet in yr search? Or actually these indo chinese who cnt speak chinese is actually aso indo-viet? Back then,i doubt indo chinese will marry any refugee viet, so veri likely is indo local marry those refugees.
Theoretically,you make sense in your words...but as far as of now,i have not come across any Ind-Vietnamese in Batam before. Hmm...perhaps other parts Indonesia might have...and even if they do,i am sure it will be ultra rare. As in even more difficult to find than Indo Chinese.

Good info,and if you have friends who has Indonesia bank ATM card, you can ask them to help you top up your Indonesia sim card too. The 2k rupiah surcharge will be waived too.

can always recognize a sgrean by his voice wen he talkin loudly as if like got loud speaker in btm like tat,...jus like china chinese in SG talking loudly in public place (youngster included hor..lol).
To me, using money to buy my way thru is only for emergency or when I need to put up a long bait to fish for the really good "stuffs".

Everyone is different,hence I have stop my group trips here with newbies to Batam. (not entirely tho,just picking and choosing,allow "fate" to play more roles)

Ok,tat's all 4 today! I see wen i free & got mood then i might post those btm pacific gers workin in spa here...lol.
If I don't remember wrong,one of the infamous Di An is in the photo too.

These girls are all old birds,Batam newbies need to be wary (or might chop),hehehe...they used to cost 1.2 to 1.5 juta per overnight deal,depending on how well you try to bring down the price. Most time, i doubt u can find or see them in the fish tank of their joint.
