Beside staying at Nagoya, must also stay at the right Hotel. I've staying at the new Hotel "GIDEON" but the location is totally out of the cheong areas. I find that is more suitable for family stay. The selling point of this Hotel is new, wifi very strong in room and bed very comfortable with very Big pillow.

Thanks bro. Change my mind. I stick to formosa. But I hate their pillows.

thks in advance!

If you drop in at the Kaha Travel office at Batam Ctr immediately to the right when you exit immigration, you could probably pick a hotel voucher for about 25% discount to the walk-in price. They are very reliable. Kaha also has an office in Nagoya directly opp Hotel Harmoni.

Just to alert bros coming through Batam Center. Almost impossible to get a cab yesterday. Lots of taxis were lined up on both sides of the road but nobody's moving cos they are "mogok"(on strike). Pao Hong chia in Nagoya is still moving. So be prepared to take ojek all the way downtown.

Any bros know of any pub in batam the plays rythmn and blues. Appreciate if you could share. Thanks.

I especially enjoy ikan bakar when I come to Indonesia. I went to look for my favorite ikan bendeang bakar place at Nagoya Hill Mall, but the fellow is closed for renovations. Nobody knows when they will be back for operations.

I was recently introduced to Acia (AhChia) ikan bakar near Formosa. I must say these guys are very good. One of the best and very reasonable. Also no need taxi to go to some way out place.

Any other bros want to share their favorite ikan bakar places.
