This case must be unique. Usually, many locals in Batam try to take advantage of the foreigner.
One day on my last visit, I decided to try massage in the "spa" of my hotel (I will not mention, but it is the 4 stars near Jodoh). The sweet girl was pretty (that's why I decided to try, eheh), but moved hands too quickly for a good massage. Near the end, the golden question: do I want massage ALSO THERE?
Hmmm. Why not? Ah, you want tip. Sure, how much?
"100 dollars only...".
(yes, she really meant 100 SGD)
Sorry, but I did not even leave her the 100k tip after her poor massage.
