I
will going to Batam for work from June 30 to July 1. We will be staying
and having our meetings in Nagoya City, Batam which is like the
downtown area with many hotels, clubs, shops and beaches. Anyway, I
reserved Singapore Airlines for my outbound and return flights this
time and was luckily able to get the new SQ637 and SQ638 flights
featuring the new A380 super jet which is the largest plane ever built
with private rooms and all the latest technologies! I will be departing
from Narita on SQ637 at 11:30 am on Sunday, June 29 (arriving in
Singapore at 5:35 pm) and returning from Singapore on SQ638 at 11:40 pm
on Tuesday, July 1 (arriving at Narita at 7:30 am on Wednesday, July
2). I will be using a direct ferry between Singapore and Batam, which
takes less than an hour. Should be very interesting since I've never
been on an A380 or visited Batam before in my life!
Everything
is so cheap in Batam, I made all the reservations for our hotel and
meeting rooms and wow! Our deluxe rooms at the five star hotel is only
80 Singapore Dollars net per night (about $60 US Dollars) and our
meeting room for 15 persons including two coffee breaks with snacks for
15 persons, lunch at the hotel's restaurant for 15 persons and meeting
stationery, candy, misc. electronics and wireless internet connection
is only 600 Singapore Dollars per day (about $450 US Dollars)!
Incredible! Only in Asia!
