After agreed to pay them to get Batam fast seats they came up with another pattern.
He came back with bording pass for Batam fast ferry but departure was Harbour Bay!!!
The Batam Center terminal departure was full obviously.
Friends were tired and didn't wanted to kick up a commotion. They grab their documents back and hurried to Harbour Bay.The tickets for the return to Sg weren't return to them.
What's disturbing was when we reach Harbour Bay, the Batam fast Ferry counter was still selling tickets for the last ferry!!
They were scammed obviously.

I find the locals there are not trustworthy.. tio scam also. First incident wanted to leave batam centre ferry terminal for Tua Pek Gong Temple. Paid $65k for the taxi at ferry terminal. Hop on taxi, taxi driver still ask got angbao. I say no. End, he alight me Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya Monastery saying Tua Pek Gong nearby and got road block. Got feeling of tio scam, since being tourist there alone better avoid argument.

2nd incident order 2 pcs meal at batam centre ferry terminal KFC. Noticed the signboard indicate price for two piece is 37k+. But cashier counter say 60k. Didnt probe due to long queue behind me and their language barrier.

But the chinese there are friendly. I went on 初一

Tat particular weekend i went to Btm. Reached tere arouind 1pm wib. I already noticed HB departure hall packed with uncle aunty and the rest.

For security reasons etc, i would normally avoid taking last ferry. As it was 3rd day CNY and a sunday, confirmed full. Yet our bro took 2nd last ferry. Seems like a last min thing, not enough time to tink of Plan B. No causeway also.

Any way...do appreciate your kind offer...

i was actually looking forward to link up with you on any fateful day during CNY,but looks like we both missed it somewhere.

Nobody's time is not precious,hehehe....(in batam,i am in a no rush mode) and i also look forward to the Teh Botol from N's shop too.

When it comes to variety,you can try the pharmacy opposite Da Vienna Hotel,its a retail chain which i cant remember its name. They do have a big range of medicine and their branches stocks were interlinked with each other,so if their store dont have the stuffs you are looking for,they will also know which other branches carries them. And if they cant find what you are looking for,it probably doesnt exist in Batam.

This is a mistake i have made before too, hence i often remind myself not to be overly confident. Hehehe...hence i often have plan B and plan C.
