how diff is batam from sg? 1. the taxi fares go by hrly. so it's like 10 bucks for 1 hr journey(: 2. no limited capacity(: so 6 of us could occupy just one cab(: 3.they dont have public transport here in batam so we basically travelled here and there by cab(: 4. throughout these two days, i've only seen 3 traffic lights(: 5. the people here are S.U.P.E.R polite. two thumbs up for their service:D 6. the life here is very very simple. so long as they have a shelter over their heads and three meals a day, it's happiness to them.
conclusion: wasnt as bad as i expected(:
