The beauty of Batam to me is more of lesser crowd, slower pace of life and to a certain extent, tranquility.

Honestly,i rarely see tour bus in Batam. Maybe becos i always avoid tourist area and i go everywhere at a relatively odd timing. I dont like crowd.
The only time i see a large amount of tourist was around Ex Vietnam Camp at Pulau Galang. That was the only time we drive by at least dozens of tour buses and surprisingly when i visit a temple nearby where another half a dozen buses was parked outside,i was the only Chinese. Hehehe...i know i am the only Chinese becos i am the only person who light a joss stick and pray there.
I think those tourist looks like Indonesians from other provinces.

Beside attracting attention. this is also a form of disrespecting locals culture.
