I refunded only the fuel and, if I am not wrong, just the fuel costed 200k. So, you see that 70k/hr * 3hrs driving to Barelang and South and return = 200k for taxi service is not too much.
- the standard taxi fare to/from Nagoya to/from Harbour Bay is 40k. To/from Batam Center is 50k. Therefore, 70k/hr is not too much, by comparing to that.
Hi, He is not exaggerate. I have also gotten driver for whole day at 300k. They bring you everywhere u go and wait for you. You just need to call them when u need their service. Normally i would use my cewek hp to call them even at 2am when i leave the disco.

70k an hr is too expensive. Never mind lesson learn.
