Discoveries made in Batam

April 09, 2005 (Saturday, Sunny) -- Was in Batam today for 7 hours. It almost didn't feel like I was away in another country! The ferry ride was under an hour!

3 things I discovered during my short stay there:

  1. Batam is able to receive ONE and only one Singapore radio station... and believe it or not... it's Dong Li 88.3! Loud and clear! Boy, am I impressed or what?!
  2. The local housing structures reminded me of Lego - colourful! Very cartoony. Cute!
  3. Batam Mall, the supposedly largest shopping mall, is smaller than Mustafa Centre!

What would life of a shopaholic like me be if I were to stay there long-term?
