Ya bro, most of the place there rate is much higher in singapore, so i suggest change there.

I got my own regular place to change so i usually get more higher than the original.

I hope rate will shoot up to 7000 soon as still remember those day of 7500 to a dollar..

Shopping centre rates even better, last nite, I pass by BCS and the rates are 6920. Usually you can nego for 10 or 20 Rupiah more, by just asking. The best rates in town are in LUcky Plaza and malls, like BCS, or DC mall... where there are competition. Rates at ferry terminals SUCKS big time.

i know changing in batam is cheaper
what i mean is if the rate here is 6900
that means it will be more in batam
anyway if its just 10 or 20 rp its ok for me
unless i going to change alot

Cross the junction and go straight.
Hotel Horisona on ur left about 50m from traffic lights.

2) Turn right on main road outside Formosa and walk straight until Windsor food court.

No bro, different dancer. The one we got is only doing strip show only. We got tried to get those stage dancer, but reject due to high pricing, i also dont know the price. Did manage to get someone try to deal on that, but my OC immediate reject, she said mahal kali.. Then straight opt. for the normal strip dancers..

Tks bro.

For windssor, after turning right outside formosa hotel, I just walk straight. So I will pass by Harmony service apartment? So i still continue walking straight after that?

For Mass82, any bros can help? Just like to walk around Nogoya/Jodoh area for fun.
