You may wish to try this if you are planning to go to Batam again and staying in Formosa, book your hotel directly via email or their website, get them to fetch you from Harbour Bay ferry terminal to hotel, cost 50k rupiah for a 2 way trip inclusive of sending you back to ferry terminal after your sexcursion end.

Mind if I ask, are you staying on a 3rd floor room?

Which money changer did you change your money at?

A little advise, avoid money changer at the 2 end of the block of building shown on the above picture. Try your luck at the middle few.

I am actually surprise you got only 9700/SGD on a Wednesday. (I was expecting somewhere about 9750 ,at least)

Only during CNY time ,ferry terminal rate will be better than those downtown. If I have friends who wish to change money at Ferry terminal,i would usually advise them to change in Singapore Arcade 2nd floor at Raffles place MRT station.

It would depend on your needs. Or are you are paying for what you don't need?

Any bro has recommendations to solve wifi problem? Ask them said they will check then it's the same.

1. Change room.

2. Avoid rooms that are nearer to the 4 corners of the whole building.

3. Get a 2nd floor room. (one of the reason why I ask if you are on the 3rd floor of the hotel)

Next time, request for a room with good wifi connection.

Quoted 1.4juta for the young one. I said no really my cup of tea. I said I come back later around 7.mami did offer to cut to 1.2juta for the young one. But I said later.

You seems to bargain quite fiercely. I always advise my friends,do not allow bargaining hard to spoil their own mood.

Massage is just ok given 2hr for 200k. At 45mins mark the girl, ask special. She quotes $50 for hj. Siao.. I reject straight, then after another 15mins she quote $30 I say no. Then from then on massage is downhill.

Massage per hour is 110k. In anywhere,110k rupiah is good to test water. If the massage girl is good, then you extend...price will still be 200k for 2 hours. If massage is good, don't forget to tip a bit.

Let me share my incident which I tried many times.

I go for an hour massage 1st, I go for special service after the golden question (if price is good). After 1 hour up and special service,90% the girl is still in nude,...and if she is good,i extend another hour requesting her to remain nude during the massage. Work 90% of the time and end of session,i still "tip" her a little for remaining in nude during the extension.

Let's not forget I am a member of Formosa,i have a 15% off the menu price, which helps me save 30k rupiah. So end of the session,the extra hour massage-in-nude becomes free. And I will tip another extra if there are any extra VAS (value-added-service).

I usually avoid a 2 hour straight massage,unless its a foot reflexology session, whereby I will go for 1.5 hour (sometime 2 hours).

Then I saw a girl but another local bro pick her also haiz.. so no find. The girl was offer at 1.3juta. I bargain till 1.1 already too bad left empty handed. Then walk around bit to see if I can get to anywhere but no it was 9pm . So decide to go relax massage. Haha totally clean massage but cheap.

Around 9pm and you still go Happy 8? Not a good idea. Imagine during that hour, if you were to go to Alishan straight instead.

Wrong place,wrong timing bro.

My itinerary in the past as a beginner :

1. Arrive Harbour Bay early noon, head to hotel for check in.

2. After check-in and resting a bit,go "shopping" for girls. Once girls done ,request OKT to send girl to my room few hours later. If fail,just keep looking or can head back to rest up a bit.

3. Few hours of time for myself to buy groceries and perhaps a massage w/o special (unless price is right). I have a booking girl coming, so my bargaining chips were higher with my massage girl too as I do not NEED a "shot" so depserately.

4. By 7pm no girl,head straight to Alishan.

5. If still no girl, then need to bathe flower water. Call for a midnight massage from Kings and ends my night alone.

6. There are of course other options,which will lead to plan C , D and E.

Remember this map bro....especially the 3 hotels. Formosa, Biz and Utama Hotel marked in RED.

Nagoya City Walk is behind Formosa Hotel. You already know how to go to Happy 8,Nagoya City Walk is behind a building (SIGA building) just opposite Happy 8 massage.

Once you can get to Nagoya City Walk Mall,the other end all the way downward will be Biz Hotel (you can always ask the people or security of the City Walk Mall building if not sure). Yes,you need to locate Biz Hotel....thereafter after reaching Biz Hotel, just follow the below walk through...... (and Utama Hotel will be your landmark)

( Click to show/hide )

Another solution, get a taxi who will collecting commission from booking joint to bring you there. But price of booking MAYBE higher if you do not bargain well.

Hope that helps you locate more booking joints and please do avoid quoting my whole long post.

Cheers and thanks!
