1) I'd value your opinions on which is better for a great time, Batam or Bintan? I suspect Batam is bigger but I have read a lot of good reports on the Bintan bars and farms. Is Bintan generally cheaper since it is less well traveled?
I am pretty good with Russian but that would need to be a looong weekend trip!

Batam has more fun joints and more easy to travel about. English is not widely spoken, but you can get away with it, since it is an "international place". There are plenty of malls to go about.
Bintan is more of a uncle place. I personally not too familiar with that place. Maybe some others can help out.
