Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread

[QUOTE=StarCity;17874167]U speak of 'We' (& yr group) in handful of yr postings,as in 'we' as an organisation,or a company or a reseller?

...& not as 'u'

Care to share the meaning of 'minders'? a paid guide? a paid taxi driver? or a profit-making company/organisation led by u? or just simply u?

Asking out of curiosity. [/QUOTE

Our group of seniors make monthly trip to Batam to enjoy tihe high value of the strong S$. We will check the online currency exchange rates before travelling south.

I use the term 'minder' to generalise the people like taxi driver, Gojek rider, tout, bellboy, paid guide, or those people (not staff) hanging outside joints that tried to accompany you into the booking joints. You need to tell the papi or mamasan that you are not brought there by someone.
