If we want a cab, we would flag for one.

As for the rates I got from changing in Batam is SGD1 to IDR7000. My friend changed at harborfront and only got 9000. I changed around Formosa area. All money changer looks like they are having the same rate.

So far my 2D1N experience was great. Didn't spend much as well as didn't plan on going shopping or KTV. Pretty much staying in the room and enjoy the wide selection of of tv channels. And of course enjoying my girl. Haha.
Yes bro taxi u took was bluebird it doesn't go into HB terminal only when dropping passengers does it go in.u sure sgd 1 = 7000 IDR cos so far exchange rate is at least for last week had been 9000 IDR = sgd 1.00 .
