I raise 2 hand and 2 legs to agree on this one. When i 1st begin Batam,i walk and i walk a lot (starting from Harbour Bay). And this has help me understand my surrounding and all the places i go to better. Today,i wont be held ransom by most,especially taxi drivers and ojeks becos i know how to get from place to place by foot. It also helps me understand the Batam map better too.

You are welcome.
Read the links on my signature if you have the time,bro. I have stayed in Formosa Hotel about 90% of the time throughout my 18 declared trips to Batam. It has help many newbies and i am sure it will somehow help you in one way or another. Batam's pace is much slower than in Sillypore,so dont rush,dont be demanding,dont hold too high hope,be nice and dont show off your money,be humble...you should be alright. (actually quite common sense here)
Once you reach Formosa Hotel,all should be well and the rest (eg. girls) will just be luck ,hehehe...from now to your coming trip still very very long,go kill some time by doing some reading.
Cheers!
