Not sure it's in Google map but it's next to Mustafa plaza. Alot of anchor tenants eg Hypermart, SB, KFC, BT, JCO, etc.

Thank you sir for the info.

Location-wise is pretty faraway from Nagoya area tho....nearby to Batam University tho.

...and indeed,there's a cinema and a hypermart...hehehe...

CineMaxx dont seems to belong to Cinema 21 nor Blitz organization...

*Becos movie tickets were cheap in Batam (max 35k rupiah per pax),hence i think its worth it (compared to Singapore) to take a taxi (2 way) to this Mall Botania 2 just to watch a movie if i am in a group. Hope hotels will have shuttle service there (which i doubt ,as so far i didnt notice any hotel that provide shuttle service 2-ways to Mega Mall nearby Batam Center).

A lot of Batam's major businesses step into this new mall,but due to its ulu-ness,hope it doesnt end up like Harbour Bay mall or Center Point Mall,hehehe...nonetheless, no buisness place in Batam to me can at times mean a place for cheaper things to buy,hehehe...

Seems to me at least there will be another upcoming major shopping mall by the name Park Avenue coming up in times to come.

Its where the new Blitz theater would be,hehehe...found it while looking thru CineMaxx. (and Citra Plaza near City Walk mall might have a new cinema21 theater in the years to come too,hehehe...)

Just keeping records here.

Cheers!

Note : Avoid quoting my post if anyone is replying to this post,my sincere thanks.

Your friend will definitely be sent back, or in lieu of that, a donation of at least $100 will have to be made to the Batam immigration lunch fund.

I havent thought of that when i saw its near Batam's University,hehehe...its a good idea from your post indeed. I have seen a few of them (female) doing some survey thingy for their school projects,hehehe.....

No need to approach them,they approach me instead,hehehe...

If you know that the area is the delta ( river mouth) of Jodoh river...
If you know that the whole jodoh untreated liquid waste flow from all big or small "longkang" into this area.
then you would understand why.....

Took a walk at MB2 this afternoon. Maybe due to new opening that was so clouded that i got to turn 2 rounds to get a parking lot.
BTW
Hypermark not in operation yet.

On the way back home, got road block at back of NH area. The were some cultural event happening there.

Will update my discover later.

Since i am quoting your post,i think i will on my way just write all the bads (and some pretty neutral portion) of that hotel with super big balcony i stayed in. As you can see, big room,big beds,big balcony...

https://sammyreviews.store/showpost.php?p=18...ostcount=12286

Everything is BIG in there. BUT, upon checking into the hotel ,believe it or not,i changed room thrice. Why so? Rooms that were suitable for others may not be suitable for me. The power socket in their room. They only have 4 of them. One was near the bedside, the other was was for the coffee maker,there's for the refrigerator and last one....was outside the balcony.

can try bcc hotel premier suite next time,they hv good bath tub...rm is 60sqm & super spacious.




cost abt 80 sgd

Its a very crowded mall, due to many housing complexs nearby. Not ulu. High populated area. Even on weekdays and hypermart no open yet. Once open, the crowd will even increase. Suprisely i need to Q for dinning at Kaiten Sushi, long waiting list. Lucky one the staff recognise me and allowed me to jump Q

Anyone know if there is any Basketball court or a hotel with a big swimming pool near Nagoya so that I can exercise and bonk the gals at the same time haha. Looking to lose a little weight. I only know of hotel 01 with Swimming pool but it is far from Nagoya area where the booking shops are at.

Gonna stay at hotel 01 with a indo maid I know from Singapore on January near batam centre. Any fun things to do there other than shopping at mega mall? Thanks!

I think the swimming pool at Aston could possibly satisfy you. I didn't use it, but I walked past it during my stay at the apartment.

Either my bargaining skills sucks, or Happy8 has too good business. Mami refused to give me discount even for 3 nights.

Enjoyed my trip to barelang, although I only visited Viovio beach. Nice beach with only a handful of locals.

Bros,

All brothers adventurous enough to book WeChat ceweks in Batam should exercise due diligence to ensure their personal safety and also of their assets and properties at all times. Locked all money and assets in your room safe before meeting these cewek. If possible, video chat and talk to the girls and always check them out at the lobby to ensure 'what you get is what you see' before bringing them to your room. Beware of ladyboys unless you are interested in these type of ladies. Try not to book WeChat ceweks for LT unless you have booked them before as most WeChat ceweks will disappear after 1 or 2 shots and seldom stay overnight.

As for the service standard of these ceweks, you are at the losing side although personal charm, good chemistry and additional tips may somewhat help. Even booking ceweks from booking joints do not always ensure good service. WeChat ceweks on ST are always in a rush to finish their jobs fast and move on to another one. They have no interest to provide good service and do not care for their reputation, as these girls know the market well, constantly changing their names and often have another full-time job. It may help to negiotate for payment at end of the service but few will accept this condition. It is all a game of chance.

It is often better to get your ceweks from booking joints to ensure ease of mind but their quality might not suit your liking and WeChat girls are often known to spike ones adrenalin sky high.

Exercise care and enjoy, cheers.
