Uncle hendri,

you are based in batam or sin jia po ? I thought people go batam to eat wildlife, how come you eat home cook food in batam

Is it because home-cook food is more exclusive and healthy unlike wildlife at restaurant anybody got money can eat already.

But one thing for sure outside food in batam is more delicious and tempting than home cook food. hehe.

Thanks for your negotiation tips. Next time must quote some other massage joints are willing to offer much cheaper hj+roaming, so the massage cewek got no excuse don't reduce the price of the special service.

However, ever met one quite pretty and young massage girl at king's massage, no matter what also nggak mau kurang harga (not even a single rupiah), very persistent with her price of 300k hj but no roaming or 600k fj. In the end, never took up and she lanlan very disapointed.

The hotel massage cewek consider themselves more ex than the booking cewek by making comparison. Sometimes they are too stubborn with their pricing. Should they be flexible enough with customer's request , they will be able to close many deals.

But what about massage joints cewek in batam? Are they as demanding as their hotel joints counterparts ?

Call/answer HP during massage is what most PRC massage girl often did, absolutely unprofessional and show no respect to their customer. (10 prc at least 8 did that)

But so far my encounter with ceweks are good, they are really committed in giving me a very enjoyable massage experience. That is y my favourite is still cewek...

All disco is super fast techno/House. Unless go pub.
Disco play R&B sure cant survive. Try Double 2.
Hope my replies helps.

There are some popular pubs in batam that plays very nice relaxing music, serves great reasonable priced food, have a pool table which is FREE to play and most important is there are loads of girls to entertain you while you are drinking a nice cold Bintang beer.

One friend told me that the Last Pub seems to be one of the best bar to hang out in. Ice Pub also not bad, is just down the street from the Last Pub. Lusy's Oar House Tavern is another great bar to hang out in, just down the road few minutes walk from The Last Pub.

In the pub if you happen to have good chemistry with the cewek, she will allow you to take her back to your hotel. If customer is fat, ugly, old or smelly then maybe they will refuse lah! Most hotels are chick friendly and do not have a problem with you taking a non-registered guest back to your room though you do so at your own risk.

If you get along well with the cewek in the pub she may agree to a night of fun with you though most will ask for a payment of around 400k - 1 juta LT to stay the night. Some may just ask you to take them shopping the next day though this may cost more and be more annoying in the morning when hung over. (unpleasant effect after beer drinking)

If you want the girl to leave the pub before her shift finishes at 1am or 2am then you will have to pay the pub a bar fine to cover any revenue the girl makes in her duties of encouraging drinking. The bar fine can be 120k - 150k or maybe more. Or the girl may agree to come to your hotel room after her shift finishes, then no need to pay the bar fine.

Makaseh bRuR mantroy87 will definitely use Pak Darmawi on Pak's Virgin trip to see how kind Darmawi may be

So should Pak mention your good name to Darmawi so that can get special taxi fares . Do Pak have to tip Darmawi or will he get komision from joints

Welcum pak...All the fares are by meter not by per trip, so they cant cheat. Not to worry. So far as i knw is that they never get komision from joints, you just get the driver to wait while you do the hunt... But not too long if im not mistaken ders a charge. All e type of charges are listed in their cab..
So i guess tipping would be fine..

You're A great help bRuR

Pray and hope Pak wont get conned in Batam
