My Melayu is only 1% nia. Asking the price at counter already got problem. Finally the guy understood me and write 60000 on a piece of paper. Damn paiseh. I'm not sure who is the masseuse who serviced me. The lady boss just assign me one. She knows a bit of English. Did quote 300k for duuno what. I supposed for special service?? FJ ?? Anyway, I flat reject.
But it was a well 60k spent.
Botak was quite frank and honest about the gals appearance / service quality. I picked one based on pic. He upfront told me the gal looks darker n not so nice in reality. He asked the gal to come down n let me see. Yah, different lor. He said it is ok if I dun take any gals. Will surely visit him again next time. Friendly n nice fellow.

Yes Utama is much nearner to harbourbay then Batam centre....from Batam centre to Utama is about 50,000rp...from harbourbay to Utama is about 30,000rp...this is the standard rate if you take taxi at the ferry terminal....
Taxi at the main road cost less...usually 20,000rp to get you around....from hotel to town or ferry terminal....because a few merry go round can get to your distination....e.g. nagoya, penuin, winsdor, jodoh....harbourbay...
Bahasa Indo 1% nevermind....I also meh...just learn a few common word to get you around....
Something like this....when you reach the ferry terminal....
Taxi = Abang pergi mana (Bros go where)
You = Aku mau pergi Hotel 69 ( I want to go Hotel 69)
You = berapa (how much)
Taxi = Errrr empat poloh ribu bang (forty thousand ribu friend)
sometime they just say empat poloh....
You = Abang, empat poloh mahal ( friend, forty thousand expensive)
you again = Tiga poloh ribu boleh ( thirty thousand ribu can)
IMPORTANT....alway say the word RIBU at the end of the number...if not if they think you want to give SIN dollars.....like that die lah...where got SIN$30 for a 10 min taxi ride....
Taxi = ok ok
Then inside the taxi.....driver will ask you.....ai char boh bo....ada cewek..
Just tell them, Aku ada sayang di sini....(I got darling here)
This will make them shut up....
for your info...
100 - seratus (ratus)
1000 - seribu (ribu)
10,000 - ser poloh ribu
100,000 - seratus ribu
1000,000 - ser sejuta
so how to say 450,000rp in Bahasa Indo ??
