I will make my question more detailed. Probably you don't know, but if you know anyone on site, I die for curiosity to know what's going on there now.
1) "Massage" places (joints)? I guess all closed and disappeared for the moment. Or not?
2) "Regular" semi-legitimate massage places, as all those behind Utama Hotel?
3) Food courts? Why closed? what about locals and Indo business? I note that Marriott hotels are open and accept bookings. So, there are travellers to Batam, but must be all Indo.
4) Pubs? What would I see if I make a walk in Kampung Bule? What about Square? As above, I believe there are Indo business men around.
5) What would I see if I walk around Nagoya Hill mall? Same as before, but all Indo? Or not?
6) The most tricky: are disco opened again, or not yet? Did Planet 3 and Newton ever close, btw?? (Indonesia boleh)
Apologies for this kind of interrogation. I wish I could teletransport me there, or just have a drone flying around Batam to see how it looks like now...
Thanks!
