Batam Trip (29 March 2009)
Took a spontaneous 1D F&E trip to Batam Center & Nagoya Hill. A common weekend getaway for many Sgp-rean uncles... for that "special thing".Boarded Batamfast ferry from Singapore Cruise Center (Harbor Front). Two-way ticket per head at SGD$47; inclusive of all fuel charges, misc charges, insurance, etc.Exchange rate at that point in time; SGD$1: Rp$7, 400. So just change a small sum & you'd be titled a "millionaire"!However, stuffs (watches, clothing, wallets, belts, etc) sold there doesn't come cheap & at high chance, are imitations. Folks there knowing that we're foreigners, will raise their selling price to gain a better profit margin; taking us as Cai4 Tao2! Bringing an auntie with skillful bargaining skills gonna do you good.Everyone knows about KFC. & now we even have BFC!Seafood are dirt cheap. Buttered sotong+ Lala+ Salad You2 Tiao2+ Sea Cucumber+ 2 rice+ 2 drinks at Rp$163, 900. Equivalent to SGD$22.Definitely worthwhile given the big servings!They also provide excellent massage
