Yes,i agreed with you,and that one has to get used to their customer servicing culture. Lets not forget they also treat the locals and foreigners differently.

When i see your message,i really laugh it out. The fact is they already knew about the terrorist residing in Batam from the daily news in Sillypore. Well,i think they just feel safer with me around bringing them to places around Batam when i describe to them that touristy places were mostly carrot-chopping places too.
Name me 5 popular tourist places of Batam where there is a highest concentration of tourists. My say is :
1. Batam Center Ferry terminal (including Mega Mall)
2. Nagoya Hill Mall (including massage places in that area)
3. Golden City area where Golden Prawn restaurants were situated
4. Harris Resort and its ferry terminal (The Waterfront City)
5. NED - Nagoya Entertainment district
(i almost wanted to add Windsor Food court tho,but that place is only crowded after 9pm)
The rest of the places that was known to me,like BCS mall,Windsor Tua Pek Kong temple etc were just 2nd grade in terms of being crowded with tourists. Shh...i read in the news,terrorist were targetting Singaporean and Malaysians in Batam,so when i choose my top 5,i do take that into consideration.

Its enough for me to recce around 1st and to make arrangement during the day tho,hehehe...to look for what i want, so that my 'Cinderella' can come to my room later. Already tried and tested it on my
30th Batam trip which works pretty well.

The problem with sightseeing is i need to be physically there for at least an hour or so but not on shopping and spa massage. Yes,i will want to wear them out too. Before your message,i am still pondering on the sequence of whether Spa Treatment 1st or temple visit and/or shopping 1st.
Now i know how the sequence should go,hehehe....thank you.
