Nice share on the food court.
No mask in Batam?
Hehehe...tell me about it.
(photo take yesterday in Batam BCS area)
The green box you see above is 3ply mask going st 220k rupiah per box. Those in pink packing, consist of 10s per pack cost 10k rupiah a pack.
The cloth type in between the 2 types, i never ask.
Aunties and uncles bought some.
I didnt buy any, becos i just helped my neighbors who were in their 70s claiming that they couldnt find any mask, to buy 100s of 3 ply at S$40 in Singapore online market (they pay for it, not me) few days ago. Hehehe...per piece is S$0.40 in Singapore. Batam is at S$0.44 now (where i find it) or S$0.30 for 2 ply.
The price of mask is really crazily high now. The elderlies dont believe in words like "wear a mask ONLY when you are sick" and wearing a mask DO NOT really prevent one from getting corona virus as much as one who is not wearing it. So i need to switch my approach with them,hehehe...wear 1ply or 2 ply mask when they are not sick but if they are SICK, wear the 3 ply one,hehehe...if they ran out of 3 ply, use 2 pieces or 3 pieces of 2 ply mask instead.
My experience.
