I really love to read your reports from field. Please be as much specific as you can. I cannot go there for a while, I am trying to imagine the place through your words.
What discos are open? Did you check P2 and P3? Same as before?
The news that Formosa is going to reopen sounds as a myth. Good luck to the new Indo owner, if he dares! However, I read here that they dismantled and sold all reusable furniture... I guess that, whatever will be the new Formosa, if there will be, we lost forever its old atmosphere, even the smell of corridors.
Imagine walking there now, in lonely corridors. It sounds like walking in a ghost building in a movie.
Price up?? Jeez... A girl should jump on the first tourist she sees, considering the rarity, not ask for more money!
Both P2 & P3 are open but like dead town very quiet even on a Saturday night. P3 hall/pub at level 1 is currently under renovation..
Going for a last minute trip there this weekend too for 3 nights, staying at planet holiday. Would really be interested in know what the pricing is like now and if any of the old booking joints (or new ones) are open
R u here in batam? Im here for 3 nights too. Seeing someone changed at Rp10200 for $1 is a terrible rate at Batam Center. And i can still find St rates for Rp 300k to 400k. I see if i can get a better rate at Nagoya Citywalk area.

How about the money changers facing Nagoya Plasa Hotel along Jalan Imam Bonjol what their exchange rate? Taking Horizon this sunday.

I didnt go there.i walked from my hotel at Hana to Formosa there n changed at the money changer opposite formosa and got Rp10400. 10200 is rubbish. Tu penukaran uang asing di pelabuhan tipu, kata kasir nya.
So on with my fr for today. Walked around plaza avava there. Flea market is crowded n bustling. Saw Dragon massage open. New hotel really happening with loud karaoke. Across New hotel is a brand new looking Morena Hotel! Then abt 7pm got blackout till abt 11pm. Everywhere was dark lol. Went eat sate sapi padang near avava mall at Rp15k 1 porsi.(8 sticks) what price increase man? Same as 2 years ago no change unlike Sinkieland. Den tried the sate kambing madura 1 porsi near Hotel Gajah Mada also Rp15k. Same price as 2 yrs ago. Shop at Top100 supermarket behind plaza Avava. The Ramayana beside it is still open and alive and well. Den bought the serabi pisang coklat near 777 hotel for rp4k each. Passed by Biz hotel and saw Swees curry puff still opened. Later on bungkus indo mie goreng at my fav stall near the big longkang opposite Hans Inn at Rp14k. No change of price since 2 years ago. The stall owner still recognize me & had a good chat. Kta ngomong lma juga. Den back to room.
Btw managed to retrieve my indon Dana & OVO account after getting a new sim card Telkomsel when my old sim got terminated due to forgot to extend validity. So frustrating.
Sape2 masih di daerah Nagoya bisa chat dgn sya nanti bleh temu makan ka?
Forgot to add was at Utama area and saw the Hallo Kitty Massage have a huge bright neon signboard on display! Seems they have upgraded and looks very grand & bling2!
And the food court opposite Biz hotel was very lively & crowded during dinner time.

I didn't go to that area despite staying here since May 6, going back to SG this afternoon. I eat almost every meal in hotel room, order from GoFood or Grab Food. Also if i need to go out, calling either GoCar or Grab Car, never walk around a few blocks away from Planet Holiday. Food and transport do cost more than 2020 March.This trip cost me $3000 in total for 8 nights, still acceptable with $300+ a day. Actual spending is just around $1500 (i gave the cewek RP15 million ) So overall still worthwhile, $3K is not enough to go elsewhere for 8 days anyway

What? Thats like over spending man. Crazy. Just go out n walk down u have burger king, kfc and McDonald's in 1 cluster. I walked all the way to BK and went inside to look see and saw a group Middle-eastern men/bule. There r so much food around your area. If u walk behind to plaza jodoh area u can find many street stalls selling tons of local food. And i only take Grab or Gojek and the prices r still very low. Like for grabbike less than 2km is rp10k, rp17k for grabcar. Similar rates for Gojek.
Example for now, from planet holiday hotel to Batam Center ferry terminal it cost Rp34k for Grabcar economy. Where got price increase? Unless u taking those clapping hands tak si tak si mafias?
R u here in batam? Im here for 3 nights too. Seeing someone changed at Rp10200 for $1 is a terrible rate at Batam Center. And i can still find St rates for Rp 300k to 400k. I see if i can get a better rate at Nagoya Citywalk area.
Yup I'm here! Changed money at grand Batam mall. 10400. Was wondering, what do people think is better, octopuss or fame Spa?

Nice. Same rate as me. Would u like to eat the japanese buffet at Grand batam mall? I miss that place. It was raining heavily here in Jodoh area. Rain just stopped.

Kintan? Really wanna try that place actually. Heard great things about it from my indo friends. Let's do it. Dinner? Pm me
2 reasons, first my cewek doesn't like to go out, prefer to dine in room. So, if going out to eat, I'm alone. 2nd, I'm like owl, stay awake for whole night by sleeping throughout the day, I'm hestitate to leave the hotel at night because I heard there are many unemployed people there target to rob Singaporean .
If you're going for massage, I mean real massage, go to Komp, Nogoya Paradise Centre Block B, No. 57 or Star Massage, 2 hours only cost RP280,000. I went there every evening for 8 nights day. Good massage
