Anyway I learn from Nono that there's a cinema in BCS so maybe might watch a movie on a lazy afternoon next trip.

35 still young lah.....
Nagoya is much more happening than BCS.
I dun have any problems with afternoons in batam....so many things to do.....
Go massage, xxx, shopping, facial, ktv sing song, temple pray, barber, movies,.....etc.
Not enough time.....i even have to skip getting booking gal coz so many things n place to explore....n many places mention by Bro Nono i didnt visit so far.

The only problem is the morning after hotel breakfast......
Malls havent open, massage not fully open,.....usually i will laze around in hotel until 12pm.....action starts then.

Good job,bro. Glad that you have learned. We all do learn from one another in this thread.

There are still room to go down further on the 400k ride. Remember,never rely on just ONE taxi driver as once he is used to your regular traveling pattern,they will bring you to be "chop". If there is a chance,talk to hotel taxi drivers.Talk as in small talk,make friends,at the same time check out their pricing. Chances are they will try to under cut each other's pricing ,offer better service and hence price may gradually become lower in each trip (lowest was known to be 250k rupiah). Get their hp number for future use. Just in case one day one regular taxi driver decide to play games with you,you still have other options. (by a few more trips,you should have compiled a list of taxi driver's hp number)

As far as i know,no Batam taxi drivers were reliable,but every taxi driver has their fair share of experience and i can always learn from different ones. And i eventually have a pool of regular taxi drivers to use or simply use them to compete among one another. I can occasionally get free one way rides but having said that, i also do occasionally get chop for 50k-60k per one way taxi trip going outskirt of Nagoya too. (i dont always win all the time)

Having said so much about taxi drivers,please do spend some time walking around the area you stay in too. It helps you recognize landmarks and the way around. Keeps you safe and wont easily be at the mercy of taxi drivers.

I never ask for it also. Because the sex is good. Hahah. Thought of getting a different girl, just that i'm afraid it will fail like on my first trip. Permata indah girl 1.1mil tips 200idr for just two rounds.

For myself,i tends to try to work around things. I usually dont just stick to booking girl for my "rounds". Regardless of how rounds i get,I will still venture to massage shops,Spas,outside KTVs, etc nowaday. So in case you only get 2 to 3 rounds from booking girls,fret not. Leave your options open for others...try "eating out" instead,hehehe...you may just discover a brand new world out there.

Try staying in a hotel with massage in it or has massage shops,in your surrounding. When you bonk too much booking girl/s,your body will be tired. You need to "revitalize",eg massage,a short nap,food places that sells tonic soup etc.

This is entirely up to you bro.

For me,it depends on how many nights i plan to stay in Batam. If i stay one night,i will want to be sure my one night is a good one.So i stick to regular girls. If i stay 2 to 3 nights,i will want to keep trying out as many "pussies" as possible. Like i always say,you dont try,you will never know.Just dont be overly-greedy. Your best bet is go approach the 3 safe joints,talk to the OKTs there and tell them your requirementssss. Eg,girl must bbbj,girl must be nude when sleeping with you,no runaway,girl cannot say "No" if i want to bonk her etc etc...if still fail,next day try another girl from another joint again lor. From my personal perspective,using money to entice a working girl sometimes will make me lose the intimate "feel" (this is applicable on a personal point of view,everyone has different style),making the bonding very artificial like going to Geylang house,hehehe...

Come to think of it,nowaday it appears that 5 to 6 rounds seems quite common in Batam booking joints (not all joints). Wondering why the sudden trend,hehehe...so many of my friends who visit Batam in Dec/Jan/Feb were offered at least a minimum of 4 rounds and/or above ; and none of them were required to tip more than 200k.

For your info,A3,A5 and Nice massage also has relatively consistent massage standard.

I have PM u a small list of massage shops that were not in yr open public cheong list.They offer special service base on my understanding of your style (& price point). Not those behind Utama area. Let's see if u find them good enough to be cater under yr secret list.

They are good places i tried,so keep them to yrself & more will come your way.

Most time,some shops will have about 10+ girls divided in 2 different shifts from morning till night time from different shops (meaning to say, 2 to 3 massage shops can share about 20+ massage girls). And a massage shop average has about 10 customers per day. So on the most average ,they only have one customer per day and on lousy days,they have one customer every 2-3 days.Of course, during weekend peak sometime they will have 2-3 customers/day.

So end of the day,whether they can earn "your special service amount" (be it hj/fj) or not is up to your "mercy". Not many people (were intelligent enough) who travels to Batam for massage knows how to use this point to their advantage. You must have been quite a season cheongster at the Utama massage area.

U have shared quite a lot of truthful & useful information in this thread without misleading. Just to add,1 of the trick i have about getting good price for special service is not to get those girls from the album.Get recommendation from the recept instead. Album girls were seldom accurate,if u pick a syt that were constantly chosen by others from the album,then be prepare to pay high & take those "take it or leave it" attitude from them.

If u take from album,those girls won't fall under the "queuing category" we were talking about.

Just PM u.

Let's see how your first round of 100k+ hj & 200k+ fj goes.

This tactic is good to pick up, that why i fail to match the girl in photo. look like a different person from ablum and give me a boh chap face and rejected me.
In the end change to a girl i think waiting very long time in queue she giving a good massage

From "20mg" I understand you are speaking of vitaming "T", not "S".
Is it generic from what brand? reputable?

No... it's Cialis 20mg. It's original. Asked for 10mg but out of stock so I took 20mg instead.

And Batam should be fast catching up with Sillypore in terms of its higher cost. History of Batam in this forum has spoken for itself. (i do read other threads on Batam in this forum too)

6 cities in Indonesia with the Highest Cost of living :

https://sbf.today/showpost.p...&postcount=172

And Batam was ranked number 5. Let's not forget around 60% (maybe more) of the tourist came from Sillypore. This has serve as a reminder to myself,not to over-pay or over-tip. I dont like Batam to be turned into Sillypore or anything close to it. And i do know (and understand) that my action/s in Batam regardless how "micro-mini" it might seems will impact its future.

Of course,everyone think and play in Batam differently. One kind of rice do feed many kind of people in this case,hehehe...i just play my own Batam game my way.

This was a good message. Btm 100k hj (150k) & 200k fj (250k) has been around since many yrs ago & since yr 1st trip. Will this pricing die in this generation? We'll all live to see. I read yr 1st summary til the latest 1,hotel formosa price drop. Food prices goes up by ard 10%,cewek booking price in newly joint goes up by 25%.(comparing lowest priced 600k cat) After-booking tip remains abt same in most. Special service in massage shp goes up by DOUBLE!

Time for me to look at myself in the mirror....

Mirror Mirror on the wall...

Who's the Xxxxxxxxx of em all.

Nono's guide is easy to follow... just pre-mark your google maps and anything more than 500m just hop on a ojek.

My next trip I want to stay in Gidoen hotel.

Thank you bro lanceage for the points!
