Exchange rate today opposite Formosa Hotel (3rd shop from left) = 10450

I just arrived to Batam. Lot of time WASTED for this stupid burocracy of the SIM card registration: from the time I buught the SIM cards to the time I saw them working, more than one hour (and I waited only 15 mins at Grapari).
I had 200 USD to change, so I did not invest much time to look around for the best rate. I just asked at the FIRST shop from left in front of Formosa, and the lady offered me 13.300.
I knew it was too low, so I walked to one on the street in front of Nagoya Hill, and the first offered me 13.600 for USD and 3.500 for RM. Deal made. No need to investigate further for 5k more.

Was in a taxi in Singapore today and overhear from a Chinese radio station FM95.8 who will be organizing a Batam trip on 05 May 2018,Saturday for 2D1N. They only mention that they will be staying in 4 star hotel w/o its name. Hmm....i will be expecting a big crowd of Sillyporean in major shopping malls (and in ferries at Batam center) tho.

I will return next Sunday 6 May. It will be a mass hexodus. It was never more appropriate than this time to check-in for the retun right after my arrival to HB.
