Welcome Welcome...
This blog is nothing much but to give you readers some overview on what is in BATAM island and how to get there or get out of it..etc. And what to do when you are there and maybe also on what not to do...
Ultimately, I am here to offer valuable information for those who are travelling or planning to go Batam island for tour, business or whatsoever reasons..
For a start, basic information will be provided and updated timely.
Thereafter, along the way, I will continue to post more contents (I totally have no idea what I’m going to post...for now)
Anyway, the goal here is to give useful info rather than long written articles that will bore you to death… (honestly... just not to bore me). Therefore, expect no long-winded stories… at least for now.
As this is just a blog site, limited navigation is available, therefore, I will try my very best (technically) to adjust or tweaked pages to be more user friendly..
So bear with me...
you might even able to provide help to me by commenting and give suggestion.
IF it is useful, i might even offer to pick you up when you are in Batam.. (finger crossed)
What is Batam?
Batam is an island in Riau Islands Province of Indonesia, known for its supposing Free Trade Zone (FTZ). It is located about 20 km off Singapore's south coast.
Where virgin jungle once stood are now whole new towns, mosques, churches, temples and supermarkets, soon to be followed by reservoirs with enough water to supply a population of 900,000+ and for industrial use, fine telecommunication system, well equipped industrial parks, and with all this factors, it has attracted foreign investors and becoming one of the fastest economic growing city in indonesia... thanks to that, everything is becoming more expensive too..
One of Batam's biggest attractions is no doubt the fresh and delicious seafood. Giant/big/medium/small/tiny prawns, crabs, live fish taken straight from nets in the sea, lobsters, clams and shellfish are cooked in a variety of styles and all delicious. Try the local 'gong-gong' conch shell where the succulent meat inside is fished out with a pin and dipped in a spicy sauce before eating.
