Just checked in to my favorite room, just like what i did in Formosa some years ago.


2 things worth remembering happened, just upon stepping into Batam:

1. Try to take a taxi to 9 days Hotel from Harbour Bay Ferry terminal. The lady outside the non-air-con ferry gate quoted me 60k rupiah, hehehe....why did i ask? Because its raining. And i am carrying over 30kg of toys to Batam this trip. I try for the sake of fun (since 1st time approach by a young lady) as i am curious what the quote will be.

Harbour Bay Ferry Terminal to 9-Days Hotel only 10 mins walk away, i just want to go to the money changer and then take the same taxi from there-on for shopping. Harbour Bay Taxi failed my expectation.

2. 1st time in my 10 years in Batam i got stop-over by a custom officer from the X-Ray terminal to check my luggage,hehehe...and she is curious what the stacks of thousands of Singapore dollar were for, hehehe... told her they are souvenirs for 'friends' and i gave her a stack of "S$1167" (as per photo above) and she is all smiling and keep saying "Thank You" non-stop. And yes, its a lady...

Note here that she didn't ask for it and i gave those "notes" to her out of my free will. She did say "no" a few times to me but i insisted. She's young and kind of cute-looking.

So much for day 1, time to go for the real "Shopping" and grab a "companion" (maybe 2, see how) to my room for the night.

Wish me luck.
