Batam vs. Jakarta
I apologize in advance if this is off-topic, but I'm wondering if any kind soul can give me an objective comparison about cheonging in Batam vs. Jakarta?
I've been reading old pages for answers, but its difficult to find reports which compare the 2 places. Since I'm not based in S'Pore anymore, its not a 1 hr ferry for me to Batam, and I"m not sure if its worthwhile to try here instead of my usual hunting grounds in Jakarta.
Some questions I would have are:
1. Gal Looks Quality in Batam vs. Jakarta (generally, but me boobs man!)
2. MP quality/pricing comparison (Anything comparable to Malioboro/Alexis)
3. Atmosphere/attitude of places? Batam more relaxing/laid back?
4. Hotel/Transport/Restaurant prices
The one thing I gather for sure is that overnight companion in Batam (600,000 - 1.5 Juta) can be much cheaper than Jakarta (1 mil in CJs/RedSquare/Bats, to 3-5 Juta from OKT). I'm guessing Jakarta has overall more gals/options since its a huge city, but its almost too big and everything not centralized like Batam. I wonder if Batam has enough options to keep me entertained for a week.
Again, glad to up your points for your opinion answers. Cheers all!
