It could be a Star cruise is moving out/in of Harbour Front harbour or the passport scanner broke down.

Its a weekend and beginning of the month,remember to book your return ticket back to Sillypore upon arrival.

New flooring on the newly renovated rooms cost 630k for suite room and 490k for deluxe,its new price is 30k extra. Weekend may need to add another 50k more.

I still pay like i pay before,even for weekends on suite room.

Note : weekends and weekdays is the same price for me but may not be applicable for others. So kindly please take note on this point.

______________________________

To bros who knew about the pure breed Indo Chinese shops,please note the same group of girls from one of the shops has move from shop A to shop B,adding in "even more in quantity" combining the 2. Shop A no longer has indo Chinese.

Update : Optometrist shop in City Walk Mall did not close down at all.

Not applicable for weekends and public holiday and has no fix validity officially. They gave me up to 3 months to use it tho (which was a request by me). I plan to use it during CNY 2017,save me 630k.

Voucher say its ONLY valid for deluxe room on T and C,but picture shows Junior suite. I choose not to stay in deluxe room and they agree to my point of argument since all my trips,i stayed in their suite rooms almost all the time (but paying deluxe room price,hehehe...).

Novi resigned and a new manager has emerged.

Just sharing.

There are couple more around this cross road. To me the one close to Kyeza is not too bad.

Apart from massage shops, moneychangers & cewek joints, places selling local SIM cards are the next most plentiful in Batam.

If u're coming in via Harborbay, there are several shops around that area. Otherwise, there are literally hundreds of shops selling SIM cards within the Nagoya area.

The ferry terminals itself have such shops.
Price wise may not be that good tho.
But if u needed data quickly, the difference isn't much I must say.

Weather in Batam now is great. Kinda gloomy but nice for me and my gf to roam around in a scooter..lol
