Day3 of Batam

Ah...it's been a few days, so i'll type what i remember lol

one thing i forgot from day 2

there was a black out just before i typed that post o.o

my dad was out on the street buying icecream from mac (yeah, went all the way there to eat mac ice cream...its was milo/coffee macflurry)

the hotel tv there was actually awesome with HBO and Starmovie (i know i said this but i just have to say it again LOL)

most hotel tv have only some local tv, and some american/british news channel, and some useless info of the hotel and some pay per view movies provided by the hotel, this one actually got real tv, awesome

makes me kinda lazy to walk out though lol

and serving free lychee drinks are like some standerd move there, i dont mind it at all =)

also, at night we went to this chinese resturant (yeah, i know, lol) and the shop owner actually speaks cantonese, pretty unexpected

and the shop has this really racist/streotype name, called "tuffo" (spelt with 2 f)

and the shop has this really small kitten and i played with it (i think its a she) for a while and took some pics =) really cute

saw her playing with her owner makes me think, look at the enviourment! this place is so "low grade" compaired to my house, but missy would not me much happier then this little kitten would be, both had a home, ppl that loved her, food and water, that's all a cat needs! once again makes me feel that being human sucks = ="

okok....day3

we didn't do much on day 3, since its only 1/2 day

went to swin (again) in the hotel's swimming pool, its was ULTRA cold, as in, 15 C cold (or 75 F if i remembered it correctly) and theres a few warm masarging pool's at the side so we would jump in the cold one and then jump in the hot one and jump back into the cold pool, awesome

maybe that explains the feaver-ish feeling after that LOL

then, we went hunt for food

once again, using limited words, we managed to odered some chicken, fish and beef, spicy of course

and we drank lots of orange juice down there because the word orange seem's to be shared by indonesian and english LOL

i duno if it's THAT obvious that we are not locals, or they just don't walk on streets, every taxi (and sometimes random vans and cars) that drove pass us would horn, and shout "TAXI? TAXI!?"

then we managed to find a driver to drive us to a shopping mall, he asked where we want to go after shopping, we said we want to go to the port, and he say he would be willing to drive us there after our shopping, after sth like 10mins of understanding

so we spent another 10min explaining we want to go to that port (i forgot the name..) and we want him to meet us at 4pm

so he arrived the mall, and i think he stopped a little too late and it ends up I am the one that have to take the parking ticket from the entrance, and that Rp 1000 fee have to come from mom...weird

and we went wondering around the mall and took some photos (uploading later, i hope)

and suddenly, we found him again, looking for us, because i had the parking ticket and he couldn't leave without it (we told him he dosent have to wait for us, just make sure he's waiting for us at the drop off point at 4)

even more weird....

then we went to an acrade and my bro was just attarected to it, like iron and magnet, and honey and bees, and mj and little childerens (wth?!)

so we played there, leaving one token not spent to keep it

and went to eat kaya toast next door (o.o?)

there was supposed to have a bumper car there, but we didnt go, we were running out of time

so we waited, and waited, and he didnt show up, so we rent another taxi (i wonder if we paid the last guy =\)

a taxi with no ac = ="

but still, we made it to the port, save and sound (i wonder what sound does save and sound sounds like)

and thus, the batam trip ended, pretty awesome actually

feel's like china all over again

the fear of getting cheated, dusty road, cars, yeah, it's like china lol

but it was fun still =)
