Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread

Tho the meals may cost us quite a bit but like I say before,there wont be an all good and no bad or all bad and no good in any places. Now where are their good point?

Something worth mentioning in this restaurant is the sugar they used were those zero calories sugar.


This place does give me a good impression that they were serving quality food. The food is still pretty alright,once a long long while go to eat at this place still alright but it is not going to categorize under my everyday eating meal series in Batam.

In case no one knows, Bebek means duck in Indonesia,so I am guessing this restaurant specialty is more on duck stuffs. Bebek Tepi Sawah restaurant is something relatively quite different over what I have ate over my last 3 over years in Batam. But definitely not a eating place that I would come often,unless my friends ask for duck meat,hehehe...near by this restaurant has another duck eating place called The Duck King. A Chinese restaurant run by some big organization,maybe can give it a try whenever time allows.

Good bye Bebek Tepi Sawah restarant for now...


So much for this restaurant...my last dinner meal in this trip.

The next following morning,on my way sending my girl back to the airport,we came across this in middle of the traffic.


Volunteers going into the middle of a X-Junction during red light for a couple of mins, approaching car to car asking for donation for some parts of Indonesia that were being devastated by natural disaster. Not a sight where one could see everyday in Batam and its rather unique in its own way.

Ok,thats my end of the summary,my 37th Batam trip summary. Boring isnt it? Hehehehe...

~~~~~~~~~~END OF SUMMARY~~~~~~~~~~

Some thought for my penis :

1. This isn't a good trip,i plan a lot but becos its on the weekend,i wasn't able to head to Pulau Galang,ex Vietnam. Yes,i failed and I know where my mistakes lie,and I am going to re-plan my later trip or at least try to make them better.

2. I used a full day taxi for this trip costing 800k rupiah in total for this 4D3N. And worse,i got pissed. Why so? I was charged an extra 10k rupiah and I was quoted 500k to head to Pulau Galang ex Vietnam camp. What can be the worst,i just don't use him for the rest of my Batam trips then,hehehe...

3. An extra 10k or 20k rupiah may seems insignificant to many but for my case,its not the same. I bought an item,and I didn't know the market price. The chap who offers to help me buys it at 30k rupiah and when I go to buy it myself later at only 20k WITHOUT even need to bargain.I got TOTALLY pissed. As I have said before,it only take one little step to make me not trust someone anymore. I mean what I said.

My lesson :

"You chop me once,you wont get my business ever again" and that goes along with all my network of people with me.

I am willing to treat anyone for a massage or meal,but I wont be happy getting chop, not even if its only a mere 10k rupiah.

4. I have other plans for my future Batam trips and it unlikely to be the same for myself anymore even tho it may sound the same. I am re-structuring my future trips. Starting like a beginner and to see how far I can go from thereon. Call it a new beginning becos my past Batam trips just ended. Overnight booking joint isn't going to be my priority anymore,hehehe...

So much negativity in this trip. I didn't like it either,but nevermind as I believe this trip no good,next trip just try to do it better. Its alright to make mistake/s,but try to avoid making them again. I just wish to take down my key notes of this trip in this summary. Some time later when I read back...who knows I might just laugh at what I have written today. Life is short,must learn to relax and enjoy.

So much for my 37th trip summary,now I shall continue the 37th to 38th...thank you for reading. (hopefully I didn't sound like I am ranting,hehehe...)

Nice song!
