The ferry ride is about S$33 from harbour front.

with S$7.00 for return journey.

Normally i stay in the Nagoya area in Batam when i visit.

I juz went today, tried the A&W its nice. But its actually rather expensive! Went to the so called HyperMart but i think the cheapest is really the local titbits, chocolate biscuits, sweets and of course the Kotex Pads! The Mani & Pedi is also dirt cheap, about S$8 for leg, about S$6 for Hand. And hair services also very very cheap compared to SG

Tokyo is a cool place to go
& i want My Root Beer Float, Ice-cream Waffle, Curly Fries back!
