Hi Bro Nono,
Lucky u still remembers me. I'm fine bro. Long time never cheong batam cause busy travelling to other place. Information about DC mall is really GOLD !!! Do they sell laptop or netbook as well?
I have changed my mind to stay 89,going back to Goodway cause my friend wanna go bars at night, opposite Goodway. And goodway also provides in room massage for some extra action. I will be there on 10th of April. Will u be there too? If yes, we shall meet up.
Take care.

Cheers & Happy Hunting !

Im sure bro nono meant wonderland because it has many computer shops with good price.. beside computer shop,it has also many shop sell local clothes[/QUOTE]
Thank You bro nescafe Gold. I have changed my mind to stay in Goodway instead.

cheers & Happy Hunting !

Just thought I'd ask again, anyone keen to go over this long weekend. I am a newbie though, I've read some material so if other newbies want to join we could whip something up. Else, in hopes for Lao jiao to allow me to tag along.

New computer age faster than human,bro. Can get the latest one today,next year today will be considered outdated,old model etc,maybe even break down.

New computer bought in Sillypore,after a few years when they age and not able to function as fast or as good ,what do we do about it? Throw away? No way,some will be send to Batam to "retire",and what i am doing is giving these "old and yet functioning" computers a chance to be reborn again,using minimum resources to speed them up. Believe it or not,a P4 4GB ram computer running on Win XP can be on par with a i5 16GB computer operating on Win 8. Not forgetting the slowest computer in DC Mall are mainly on dual core processor (with a GB FSB),hehehe....which makes this place a wonderland.

Next Batam trip,i am likely to visit Kepril Mall.

Batam DC Mall computers are more advance,so no milking of gold possible,hehehe....in my last trip,i chance upon a busy village with 3 primary schools side by side each other,check out some of their homes,and NONE of them owns a computer at home. I heard the school dont have a computer for students to use too,hehehe...maybe one day can set up a few cheap cheap one and donate to the school/s. (at least thats what i had in mind during my last visit),hehehe....

100% agree! (especially the "..very very very.." part,hehehe..) Even w/o special service,it is as you have said it,expensive. Below is the price list for Montigo massage and spa service (w/o special) :

If i meant to monger around in Batam,i will not pick this resort. Unless i already have a girl which i wish to impress or i can book Montigo Resort for an extreme low price...lol.

If i am you,i will make full use of the Resort's free shuttle service. If i dont remember wrong,they provide free transportation to Nagoya Hill Mall. If there is nothing impressive in the resort,you may suggest to your friends to pay Nagoya Hill Mall a visit. It is Batam's biggest Shopping Mall,almost like a maze to me,so your friends should have no problem loitering around there for an hour or 2 (may even be longer than 2 hours). There's a theatre,some eateries etc whch should keep them all occupied for a bit,and you can jump over to Delta Spa opposite Nagoya Hill Mall for a quickie,hehehe...

Info on Delta Spa :

http://thesbf.shop/showpos...ostcount=28615

And as i said,its opposite Nagoya Hill Mall entrance area,but Nagoya Hill Mall has at least 3 entrances,so what you can do is ask around (security guard) or simply walk the inner skirt of Nagoya Hill Mall while you are outside the Mall until you see this :

On 2nd thought,since this is a Spa that ONLY provide handjob,you can also jio your friends to join you. Otherwise you can use the other alternative to allow them to shop around while you visit the Spa.

I do not know if Montigo Resort's free transport will send you back but you should not have a problem getting a taxi from any of the entrance in Nagoya Hill Mall. Just be prepare for some abnormal price and to be ready to bargain before you get on the cab. I believe the taxi fare should not be more than 100k.

Thanks again!

I cant suggest on how much you need to change as i do not know where you are going to finally hit,i can only give you a guideline how much each place will cost and just change a little bit more than in the list. My usual 3D2N is about S$400,excluding ferry but includes hotel and everything else. I do keep a S$100 spare in case of emergency.

Sim Card information is stated by a good bro below :

http://thesbf.shop/showpos...ostcount=29185

I dont surf net on phone while in Batam,no wechat,no watapp,Line,MSN etc (not even facebook, twitter or the like,hehehe...) so i do not know what kind of sim card you should get. Sim Card and its top up is cheap in Batam,but unless one plans to visit Batam anytime soon,i would not suggest anyone buying it as it expires quite fast.

Thank you Bro Nono1973, I will be going with a friend, no family. Read your guide and decided to follow it closely since this is my first time going. Just wondering, if I book a girl from a overnight joint, they will only come at 5+pm?

Hi Newbies,

This is just a guide of getting gals, masseuse, cewek in Batam... no guarantee you get one of your favourite taste but worth the try for the lonely, non-pub, non-disco & shy ones.

Install WECHAT app into your mobile phone, iPhone or Android both have this app. Is much safer then buying a SIM card, and have phone calls or sms in your history of contacts.

Remember to ask for "Foto Sekerang?" yapp, maybe not real, and say is it raining there, very sunny ... to check
When sleeping at night. Lock your belongings into the luggage or passport and ferry ticket in safe box. I bring along my notebook cable lock and hook my luggage to a table, also check no sharp object around the room ...

HOWEVER WARNING!!! when using App remember to log out, always remember and never allow app incoming message to display on screen, if not it will be easily discover by your family or friends accidentally... then big troubles come, always delete chat and code your FB as your working contacts in your address/contacts)

Make use of the Hotel compliment WIFI to discover booking gals ... AND for Free!!!

Most are reporting to Abang, as this gives the gal some confident and protection.
Please ask for their age as most photos of gals looked underage.

st. - short time - RP500K - 800K,
lt. - long time meaning overnite - RP800k to 1.5Juta normally come after 9pm to next day 7am, can also invite them to join in breakfast (complimentary from hotel ... )

massage - RP150 - 250K

Enjoy ...

bro nono:
thanks for all the effort in sharing,mapping and bringing cheonging in btm much safer and Xciting for newbies and the 'not too-laochiao'.
glad that you have found other activities to will times away besides banging and massages..

hero6 type toys and car-spares part?? phew!
once upon a-time when cars were ship-in from sillipore and Malaysia;coe xpire or stolen...time and laws have changed since..
but most of the current 'taksi' fleet(w/o meters) still relies on the trustworthy 80's/90's TYT corolla and corona.
a thriving 2hd car parts in btm is not a result of many 'Lao pok kar' but because certain parts are simply too expensive for the owners or sillypore stockist don't carry them any more. it just doesn't make sense to change a catalytic converter here too ..
premium fuel = RON89.pertamax plus = RON92.
sadly, its a sunset industry as newer, better equip,higher-tech (i.e air bags, fuel inj, abs) cars are flooding the market as local's income rises and bank loan easily avail. there were never any serious peak-hr jamms pre 2010 and no's of petrol stations now more than triple. no COE, ERP, veh inspection and insurance is not a must..TYT fortuna cost abt $40k bmw x6 $110k in btm.I have seen MB w222 otr and don't be surprise to see a 458 Italia soon...

all being said, it's still possible to find OEM or recon parts for most cars here. used auto box and engines from japan can b found too. a heaven for car-mod enthusiast ..i have seen a TYT Kijang hooked up with a 2JZ(lexus GS) engine. let me know if you're into them.
cheers: cool:

[kudostoyou]

Thanks everyone for the tip. Guess not happening at montigo. Haiz

[micmac888]

"..maybe one day can set up a few cheap cheap one and donate to the school/s. (at least thats what i had in mind during my last vist"

That's quite a noble thought. Do count me in if and when so pls.

Just to add in another 2 suggestions.

1)Always meet them in your hotel lobby for inspection first.

Reason being they might not be the same as what you see in the photo or worst they could be ladyboy.

If you gave them your room number and meet them in the room it will be too late for some of the "heart soft" bros.

2) If you are looking for LT, do not gave her the money for LT beforehand, always pay after deed is done. Let her know before the deed that if she halfway throughout the night wanna leave, you will only pay her ST price.

However, if you do 2 shots or more i would say you should pay the LT price.
