Don’t expect to find such sophistication you may find in Singapore, though they are only some miles away. But Batam is duty free and the prices can be very cheap, a bit like Singapore and Hong Kong in the “good old days”. You may want to visit some of the shopping centers a little out of Nagoya like the malls at Batam Centre and Pambil (near Muka Kuning). Paintings, wood carvings, pottery, etchings and intricately fashioned jewellery from most regions of Indonesia are readily available and the quality is excellent. And if you need another bag to take it all home there are plenty of cheap luggage shops too! There are bargains to be had in clothing, perfumes, leather goods, confectionaries and electronics (cameras, phones etc). Be cautious about bigger electronic appliances as you may have problems when departing through Singapore Customs.

I would like to congratulate the hotel management on its excellent services and the positive and helpful staffs of the hotel.
I stayed in Batam View on the weekend of 26-27th July 2003. (checked out at 1pm) On the day of the departure, my friends and I met with some problems with our passports. The hotel staffs who brought us to the jetty for the 2pm boat was extremely helpful and went out of their way to help us. We are extremely grateful for their help. I sincerely hope that staffs will be duly commended.
Once again, excellent service!
Regards
Siok Fong & friends

The Tale of Jaratkaru
A long time ago, a great hermit named Jaratkaru lived. He did lot of goodness. He was a good hermit since he never forgot about his responsibility as a hermit. Alas, he was too firm of his conviction that he would not marry any women.
