Day 2 :
I will be visiting the Tua Pek Kong Temple by walk,in hope to be able to find Kong Zi Temple and the Vegetarian restaurants which is also near by. This will be my 2nd visit to Tua Pek Kong,1st time was by cab,this time i wish to try walking there..hehehe...if lost,at most go to the nearest hotel to grab a taxi.
This trip,i shall try to further cut down on taxi reliance,even on ojek. Visit a few other Aquarium joints,step into Penuin area for the 1st time & most importantly have a better understanding the trail from Habour Bay to Nagoya Area,and a little of Penuin area.
1. New Flamingo,which was said to be behind centre point. (i think i pass by center point before,but still cannot remember the place)
2. Dynasti 1,which is suppose to be behind Goodway Hotel. But wonder if it still exist?
3. Fermina,also said to be near centre point.
4. Miyabi,i read it's near Goodway too?
5. New Berlian,also near Centre point.
Any others i missed which is near Formosa? Just wonder if the above joints still exist and if there are any latest reviews or updates on them. Once i know they exist,i shall go explore them or at least attempt to try to find out more about them.
There are other joints that are away from Formosa area which i shall explore at a later time,namely... Indah Permai,Bougaville,Harisona and Even,Maxim,Melody etc etc and i think there are much more...(still trying to find out)
Lots of super valuable info by seniors in this thread,but all of them are too scattered,some of the words use are short form,making navigation difficult and some of the info time frame are too far apart..so as i travel batam,i shall try to consolidate them bit by bit and put them into notes & summarize it on my next after-trip summary. Cos as newbie to batam,it's easier for me to move along,pick up the trail of senior bros from many years ago and then rephrase it in a more "easy to navigate" way,hehehe...rather than seniors moving their trail backward & repeating themselves again and again.
After a few years when i become a senior myself,and when i look back at my summaries today again,i will also find myself 多此一举 (doing extras for nothing),but for newbie like myself today,they will become valuable info as it will compile all the necessary info for them to confidently navigate Batam.
i'm sure most seniors would prefer to answer more intelligent questions rather than spoon-fed questions. Hehehe...so mean time as i move along,some small questions will keep coming. (i'm sorry for asking too many newbie questions)
1. During my 3rd trip,while crossing the main road from Goodway to near Harmoni area,a Bus stop by me asking me to get on. The Bus was crowded,so i didn't get on..actually i didn't get on becos i didn't know where it will take me to. Is there any guide for the bus route in Batam? If i not wrong,reading from this thread,taking a bus cost 3k,right?
2. I wonder if there are any Pharmacy near Formosa?
3. Girls in joints appears not to like to serve Indian customers,can they actually reject the Indians?
4. What are the procedure to reject a girl? I have not reject a girl before,but may try it out in this trip out of a learning experience. Do i need to get the joint's number or the OKT's number? Call the joint that i reject the girl...i'm sure i cannot get a full refund,but only partial. What are the usual amount if the girl is charge to me at 800k?
From my understanding on this thread,it is base on Short Time price via number of bonks,that means i get back the amt minus 1 short time even if i didn't even bonk a single time.It depends on the time i send her back too. I do understand some do not get a refund at all. I am just curious how the refund system works for rejecting a girl or even to change girl.
Thank you for reading.
