Some lucky guys brought out to dinner my two lovely friends from New Berry. I feel envious. Have fun and respect...

They are good girls.

The Indonesian Government has decreed 19 official national public holidays in 2015. This total is comprised of 15 officials holidays and 4 “shared holidays” designated by the government to create long weekends and encourage domestic tourism.

The number of official holidays and shared holidays in 2015 is three days less than 2014 that has 22 holidays.

This list does not include, with the single exception of Nyepi, Balinese Holidays in 2015 on which Balinese Hindu are entitled to the day off.

Nope,it i doubt it would. But as its a public holiday in Indonesia,hotel prices will be higher. Occupancy rate will be higher too.

Inside Harbour,just outside the harbour terminal. The problem is there is no building near it as its like a shop house yet their sign board being camouflaged by a big tree. The nearest place i know is Wey Wey 2 sea food restaurant. It is outside Wey Wey 2 restaurant about 35 steps away.

One usually cannot see this place when they are on the way out of Harbour Bay,one only pass by this place on the last day of their trip on the way back to Harbour Bay while returning to Sillypore. Thats one reason why this MP has not much business.

I dont think so. What she is often after is your end of service tipping. Usually round 1 will be good,round 2 and round 3 (or thereafter)...service standard might likely drop.

I imagine myself as like a newbie,i follow my own newbie guide just to check if what i wrote a year plus ago is still relevant and am glad to know it still is and i think i broke my curse too…lol. (i am always trying to learning to enjoy Batam with minimum reliance on luck)

I planned my route for CNY 2016,got my NEW room,has a number of girls to make my final choice from now till CNY and now whats left is my ferry ticket to Batam on that day,hehehe...

I didn't know they got shoulder/neck massage also on 2nd storey... anyway, now I know and will try next time.

Just to relate an experience,when i stay in Formosa Hotel,i go to Kings for foot reflexology. The advantage is it is convenient and i do not need to walk much,i dial and they comes down to my room. I am 100% sure that it will be a female who would do the job. Its 90k/hr (or 100k/hr for in-room). If girl A is no good,i just try girl B,if girl B is no good,i just try girl C...i will try until girl Z on different time of the day or in later trips,surely there will have 1 best girl that suits me most. If i want a proper foot reflexology,i get them to do the job on a proper massage chair and not in a room with a massage bed. More importantly ,its 90k/hr and to be honest,its relative affordable for me.

For your info,the ladies who can do a good foot reflexology in Kings does a better Vitalitas than those who do Body Massage. Believe me,bargaining down the price (on vitalitas or special services) with these so call Reflexi girls who do foot reflexology are way harder than bargaining with those girls who do body massage. And they are NOT in the photo album,so i do not get to choose.

Hope this help.

No hotel staffs in any hotel would be stupid enough to open up the bible in the room,but i believe a "possessed" hotel staff or something supernatural will do that tho. Not all man/woman are strong-willed.

There is a few safe deposit boxes at the reception if you really need to use it. Check with the receptionist for details.

Wow... thanks for the precious info!! I din know Kings also offer foot reflex and definitely don't know foot therapist can also do vitalitas. But I wonder will they ask or we have to ask them if they do vitalitas?

Who is the "Smart guest"? And the "stupid guest"??
It has been a while I've been following this interesting bouncing of comments and replies about "open Bibles" in the room. It's very interesting for me (from a social/anthropological point of view) to notice that the holy book of Christians is perceived by some Chinese (supposedly Buddhist?) and by some citizens of a Muslim country as associated to "ghost possession" or similar superstitions.
Apparently, the movie "The Exorcist" and its successors has made a lot of trouble on the other side of the world (respective to USA, where it was shot).

My family is Christian, but I am not particularly involved with religious issues, so I observe all this from an objective point of view. I mean that an observant Christian would be offended by reading all this, but I just feel amazed. Imagine if some clueless Christian or Hindu would dare to write similar things about the Holy Book of another important monotheist religion!

(I don't even want to mention the name) What would happen? Better not to think about that.

As a pragmatic PhD engineer who trusts in Science, of course I think that ghosts and possessions are simply bulls**t. I am amazed to read all this. Come on! We are in 2015, not in the Middle Age! But certainly I do not expect I could convince anyone.
I just wish to reassure everyone (especially my friend above) about the source of those Bibles that we find in most hotels in ALL THE WORLD. It's not a group of fanatic exorcists who place them as evil seeds or as shields against ghosts.
Bibles are placed by a group of old-fashion integralist Christians, not Catholic, called "Gideons" and based somewhere in the USA, where they were born at the time of Far West, who spend a lot of money to buy Bibles and place them in the rooms of as many hotels they can reach worldwide. It's their way to do proselytism. I found their Bibles in all 5 continents. Amazing how pervasive they can be.

The hotel managers of Formosa, as of many other hotels, are not certainly Christians, but probably believe in the freedom of confession and think that allowing a Bible in the drawer of the table is a kind gesture towards the guests of Christian religion (I have no idea how many there could be in Batam, though). Personally, the first time I was surprised to find a Christian Bible in the drawer of a hotel in Indonesia ("Gideons also here??"). I would be not surprised, conversely, to find a copy of the Koran, since we are in a Muslim country and I expect that the majority of guests is Muslim. I respect the religion beliefs of everyone so I do not object.
I opened one of those Bibles one day in my room in Formosa, for my curiosity, and believe me the girl had a good time anyway, the dinner went well, and I did not have to call the Ghost Busters

I know this is a strange request, but I try anyway.

Does anyone know if in any massage place (I mean a real massage place, not a booking joint) it is possible to have couple massage, that is me and my girlfriend are treated by two girls in the same room? With "treated", I mean good professional massage, relaxing, bath, etc.

AND (this is more tricky) is there any place where such couple massage may include also a special of any kind?
If anyone knows, I will be grateful to receive any insight, even by PM. Thanks a lot!

I was wondering what happens if I show up with one of my girlfriends at Octopus, Atalanta, or some other "high end" spa...

Newcomer2015 · #**32909** 11-10-2015, 09:38 AM

Gone to Delta Spa last weekend, took 3 session, enjoying there, masseur name Rati, good services, massage still not bad.
