Due to CNY,Hotel Free breakfast is a long queue before i can eat,hehehe....lucky i got patience. Goodway is twice the size of formosa in terms of building size and number of rooms.
Almost everything in this CNY trip all not "shun" (didnt go smoothly).
1.Step out of house to Harbour Front ,my haversack sling broke off cos i carry too many heavy things to Batam and have to head home again to change a new one.
2. Ferry to Harbour Bay delayed for 15 mins.
3. Reach Harbour Bay,super long queue at custom even when i booked Business Class and get to be the 2nd man to reach custom area from my ferry.
4. There are more tourists than taxi situation at Harbour Bay,taxi asking 70k and refuse to reduce,even ojek asking for 40k.
5. Reach hotel,my girl i pre-booked fly me aeroplane and go back kampong.
6. Go to a few booking joints,just to see them close shop.
7. Check in Goodway Hotel receptionist give me a "piss off" attitude.
8. All shops i wish to go eat are closed. Eg. Meximo Pub Wan Tan Mee,Mickey Mouse,Bai Long at penuin market etc etc.
9. Money changer exchange rate is 9300/SGD (regardless how hard i bargained)when i can get 9450/SGD under normal days base on latest forex rate.
10. Due to Hotel full house,going breakfast like going to collect combat ration in the army. The dining area in Goodway cannot hold so much people.
Hehehe...and all these are only after my 1st night review for my 1st CNY trip to Batam. Still got one more night to go. 1.35pm Batam time now,heading to Tua Pek Kong later and if time allows,will look for Pas Massage.
Counting my "curses" now,will count my blessing (if any) when i get back Sillypore.

Guess got people replied you liao and they are all correct. Just to add,a bottle of Marteh is S$89.80 in Sillypore Harbour Front DFS,but at Batam DFS Harbour Bay is less than S$80. So i am guessing DFS Batam is a bit cheaper.

Price increase for girls in most booking joint is about 200k to 300k more. 600k to 800k girls become 800k to 1 mil respectively. Those 1 mil and 1.2 mil cost 1.2 mil to 1.5 mil respectively. Gold Bird is still the only joint that increase the most in percentage. (600k girl to 1 mil)
Serve them right,cannot go home early on 1st day CNY...lol.
There are lots of indian customers in booking joint base on my observation too. Poor girls,i think they dont like getting book by indians. Almost all of them show black face when they were being booked by indians.(honestly,i havent seen one that smile) Every 10 customers,there are at least 5 indians,2 Chinese and 3 Malays base on a draft count.
