10k to 20k is the usual pricing for ojek (depending on distance and how you wish to travel) if i move around solo. And i dont understand bahasa too,yet i can still bargain. In fact,i rarely need to bargain for ojek as their 1st quote will mostly be 15k at most part of Nagoya area and 20k from Harbour Bay.

Yes,i totally agree. Always book return ferry if one plans to return on a Sunday. In April trip to Batam,my Sunday return ferry was FULL! 99% full. It is always a good habit to book return ferry at least 1 day beforehand. In fact,most time i will do it even for my weekday trips too.

It is always good to challenge oneself bro. Newbie usually quite difficult to get 100k hj and 200k fj if they dont read. Thats why i wrote quite a lot of stuffs regarding how to go about getting a good price for special service as well as for any other things,which is entirely possible. Ultimately,its a matter whether you DARE or not only.
One other thing i learned in Batam,if you dont bargain,i pay XXX price for a HJ,then girl tells me no roaming and if want to roam,you need to pay extra XX price...then when i roam top and want to roam bottom,they (the girls) will tell me bottom roaming will need to pay XXX amount. Ok,i agreed. Then if i happen to have other Fetish,she will again quote XXXX price. When i dont bargain and agreed with the massage girl's 1st quote of XXX price in the beginning,i will ultimately likely to end up paying XXXXXXXXXX price at the end of the session.
(But if i were to lowered her 1st quote to X price,look at the room for fetishes and other stuffs i can do thereafter?? Thats why i dare say,those who bargained usually gets better services)
After that "you" (i dont literally means "you",so dont misunderstand my words here,hehehe...) will come to this forum or this thread to play Green Bean Soup,telling everyone reading that you paid XXXXXXX price and you enjoyed yourself very very very much and its the best of the best hj or service you ever got in Batam. It was then the more experience readers will know that you are paying the nearly similar price in Silllypore (or higher than usual in Batam) and already got chop carrot.

You got that right,bro. Usually at most time,1 to 3 mins walk away,you can have other options (another massage shop in Batam nearby). Lets not forget,most massage girls usually have an average of about one customer a day (max is 2 unless its days like CNY,Xmas etc,which is considered big/Red major holidays),so if "you" dont take up their offer for special,then its likely their lose,not "yours",hehehe...
Anyway,this is just something i found out only last year.
Having said all these,if one stays too far away from MOST cheonging places till it leaves himself with practically not much choices,then he himself is to be blame. It is why i choose Formosa Hotel to base myself,center of Nagoya's more popular cheonging areas with everything practically under its roof or the least just within 1 to 3 mins walk away (imagine you walk for more than 5 mins,you get even much much more). And when i mean everything,i really do mean...literally Every Thing,hehehe...i do have the habit to avoid using too strong words unnecessarily.
