In some apartment blocks, there is a taxi stand cater specially for online taxis and/or bluebird/silver cab tho. Then i would say online taxi is allowed,hehehe...hope to see such in the Grand Batam mall.

as the main entrance area was not fully furnished. At that moments the pickup point was at the left when one walk out from Top100.

Hi all, am newbie here and in this kind of scene and thus thanks everyone for all the sharing of Info's.

Especially would like to thank nono in advance as will be trying out your guide this weekend.

Also, just to highlight to those who are asking how to change GPS, just download "fake GPS" from store and you can spoof your GPS anywhere.

[PervMonk]

FYI, just came back from changing and found that the money changer facing main road at people's park centre beside the UOB branch has 10310 even though the exchange rate online I managed to find is all below 10300.

Right. tomorrow going to Batam 4D3N. Will be camping at Barelang Hotel Batam (not to be confused with Harris Barelang).

I know it's right beside the NED (Nagoya Entertainment District), but...........we will see how it goes.

Hunter = going for non-working ladies
Farmer = going for working ladies

That's an oversimplification
Actually I have a much broader scope than just hunting for "non-working ladies", otherwise the field would be too dry to harvest.
Based on your previous reports (I was writing literature) I would rather define:

Hunter = going for non-working ladies, non-working ladies who welcome cash, working ladies who seek customers in disco and other free-range places (a.k.a., FLs). In other words: ANY GIRL, ANYWHERE, at ANY TIME

Farmer = going for working ladies who work in joints (ayam)

Spot on Blackpage. The field will be too boring if oversimplified.

How about those who hunt and farm at different time, occasion and season. Why only be a hunter or a farmer, when you can be both.

From BP's word, after being twisted, it becomes LIKE nono1973 says...there's ONLY Farmers, ONLY Hunters. "Over simplification" becomes over simplified when his replies were meant for someone who is looking for LT.

tsk tsk tsk...user of the internet can really twist.

The words 1 speak of, tells the reason why his purpose is here for & the characteristic of the 1 who speaks.

It's just like nobody here will specially pinpoint "why there are ONLY 3 cats of ladies in Indonesia". There are definitely more than 3 kinds, aren't it? That kind of argument can go on forever..

Sorry nono,i'm out of topic again, just like the 1 who speaks of non-btm-related topic.

Lol, yr expectation is too high bro, u are expecting an internet user who's made less than 20 tcss postings until feb & could score more than 100 reps. Yes, i've been watching how his pts grows since the day he replied to the indo okt, before he made it this far. Tells u a clearer picture now, didn't i?

(don't say i didn't warn u, be prepare to get zap by the okt)

Ok,back to the btm topic, here's my share on my last btm trip.

Harbour boutique hotel's new promo

Quite worth it if u are a non smoker cos it's a non smoking rm offer.

And the New Spa new price list update below,as promised.

They also give away 2x 30% disc voucher now while the previous promo i posted has somehow ended. Next mth according to the GRO, there could be other promo.

The 30% voucher valid for a month only.

Am intending to make a trip to Batam end of this month. Read about Horizon Ferry ticket available for 380k rupiah, but those were on sale in Batam. So, I did a search online and manage to locate a company selling for $38 2 way to/fro Harbourbay. I'm still checking with them if all taxes and fuel surcharge are included though.

The commercial fishingman cast a net, while the solo leisure fishingman use a fishing rod to catch one fish a time,hehehe..casting net sometime not just catch fish, there could be octopuss, crab, prawns, shellfish etc on the net too. Solo leisure fishingman loves a good fight/challenge.

The man 姜太公 uses a needle on his fishing rod's string to catch his one fish (if you knows what am trying to say,hehehe..another story on this guy). And he still manage to catch it.

Anyway, hunters and/or farmers were just illustration for a reply online to respective person. Just like anyone can choose to pick the S$2 , S$5 and S$10 notes thats left on the floor,hehehe...or they can pick only one of them too. Its an individual choice.

Singapore online sites selling at S$40. I mean the Horizon orange ticket, in case you wish to bypass all the hassle , eg tax etc. The S$38 you saw were E-Ticket, not open ticket.

380k rupiah and S$40, not much difference. Note that all orange ticket if you manage to buy it, check expiry before commit purchase. Usually they expire quite fast,within a month or 2.

I didnt expect myself i can sell them to some coffee shop uncles and aunties at S$45 when i buy at either 380k rupiah and S$40 too,hehehehe...now can travel to batam via Horizon for free.

I hope this promo goes on forever (dreaming tho).
