Hey dude i am interested to tag along tuesday rite? care to let me know which hotel and all i speak abit of bahasa and have been to batam a few times but always alone how many for this trip? and how long?

hoosdathu · #12 27-05-2006, 11:46 AM

interested n deserving bros (who have at least contributed in some way) can PM or email me for 2 good drivers:

Mar Wen - can speak english good enough for our purposes

sincere n takes good care of customer. only problem is that he just says "anything u please" for the total fees before u balik sillypore. i paid 300rp for a 3 day 2 night tour. (invited him for meals also, 3 altogether) not sure if it is ok - u might wanna consult more expert bros if don't wanna spoil market...

Del - very broken english. only good if u can speak a smattering of bahasa indonesia (erm... which in that case u prob don't need my recommendation liao...)

Hi there,

Try not to booked a taxi, no used.
Trip in Nagoya is about 20k only, don't give too much.
By the way, there are many f-up taxi drivers.
If you ask them to take you to find ceweks, sure price expensive.
Not only ceweks, shopping or others..
This is from my experience.
When I was with my indon friend, price is cheapper.
He will neg. the price for me instead.

Plan where you want to go first b4 go batam.
I planning to go too but not so soon. Maybe on the 10th june.
If want to join me, can PM me.

Regards
