No wonder when I was in the middle of the sea, I still can get reception!
The one rule you have to take note when you arrive at the ferry terminal in Batam.
- Remain silent
Signs showing a picture of a raised finger over a pair of lips have been raised in August 2014 at the Batam Centre International Ferry Terminal means you have to silent while queing for immigration to hear your names being called and clearly hear immigration officer instructions or you will be sent back to Singapore, if you are too noisy. Some visitors have been sent back immediately use the first ferry available.
After checking in to the hotel, we went to the nearest shopping mall for lunch!
The food in Batam are comparable to the ones in Singapore but CHEAPER! LIKE WAY CHEAPER!
