They just need to know the current market rate for all transportation and booking charges. Running around to fish is another wonderful experience. Visiting Batam is getting easier. Good luck to all newbies……

Thank you for compliment,bro...the guide i provide are mainly information that has been given in this thread before,just that it was scattered around,i just consolidate them altogether and put it in "step by step" form base on the best of my knowledge as a newbie.
For a senior to write a newbie guide,it will be difficult cos have to walk back many years of memories. For a newbie to write a newbie guide,memories of trip still fresh in mind,so easier to describe the trip. And as a newbie myself,i also know what newbie FEAR MOST during visiting Batam and what kind of important info can help them be more confident,hence you see many photos in my guide,hehehe...& to go with a guide,one may not learn much,cos newbie become reliance to the guide and take things for granted. This one is personal experience on my 1st trip,as i tends to become dependent on my friend as guide and lazy to remember the important landmarks.
Also must thk bro AV_lover and bro JOGK who pushes me to take the 1st step out.

Just browse thru few pages away from this page and u will find tons and tons of useful info. Dont make me waste my bullets.  |
Thank you Bro Nitecrawllerr. It did took me more than 6 hours of uploading ,downloading,consolidate some past threads info and search for pics in other sites to build those guides. Not counting the time of travelling in Batam and reading this thread for nearly 3 times.
Better to siam your bullets...lol...otherwise sure badly damage.

So,i will need to go look for New Flamingo in this trip.
Guess can skip Femina since no longer exist
Hmm...New Berlian,will go pass by and look see there too,since it's so near by Formosa,just beside Lucky Plaza.
Jingle or jangle according to bro Ndnd already closed down/shifted somewhere & was a ban joint by most seniors,Orchid is a new name to me,didn't notice this name mention in this thread often,any info like what kind of joint is it? Aquarium type?
And how about Dynasti 1 ,behind Goodway?
Thank you for your valuable info,bro.
