I am back from Batam. The above pic is the only worthy one to be posted. It's my american breakfast and Des's nasi goreng. We called in the room service, and had to eat on the study table; which nevertheless turned out to be too small for the spread and we had to place the two plates of fruits on our bed.
Being both our first times to Batam, what greeted us was nowhere within our imagination or anticipation. We didn't expect Waterfront city to be so near to Holiday Inn (where we put up at) but anyway, thank god we took the shuttle bus service because taxis there were as pricey as taking them in singapore.
We booked a 1 Bedroom King Bed suite (they promised us a living room, a dining) and what we got was a (if I am not wrong) Queen bed studio suite with no dining area. When called down to confirm with the hotel staff, they assured us that it was a King bed. Being so tired out, and in desperate need of a room, we didn't wreck havoc. Our massage at Tea Tree was good though and that probably is the only thing worth mentioning to any of our friends if we were ever asked.
Went down to Nagoya (we got to know from the hotel staff that it's for shopping) and we left in less than 2 hours after having our A&W, with no shopping bags. Damn boring luh the place, with nothing to buy at all. All sorts of grade F replicas - horror. We hoped for the best and headed down to Batam Ferry Center and left in disappointment again. Then, we spent the rest of our second day at Batam, sleeping away in our hotel room.
Overall, in my opinions, Batam is boring. The next time if I'm to go over again, I'll just do massage.
