There are options to choose from either the continental (granola, muesli, power bowl), local comforts (dim sum, nasi lemak, barramundi congee) or western (toast with bacon, salmon or vegan options). Each option comes with a bowl of fruits, and drinks are free to take from the drinks bar.</p><p>Unless you have a voracious appetite, the portions were sufficient.

From having to navigate airports to finding affordable yet clean and comfortable accommodations, there's a lot to consider when planning a trip. Fortunately, with a few clever travel hacks, you can transform your adventures into seamless and stress-free experiences. </p><p>Below are some travel hacks that will help you save time, money, and energy while exploring the world.</p><div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><h1 style="text-align: left;">Pack Smartly</h1><p>One of the most common travel dilemmas is overpacking. To avoid lugging around a heavy suitcase and paying extra baggage fees, pack smartly. Invest in lightweight, versatile clothing that you can mix and match. Roll your clothes instead of folding them to save space, and use packing cubes to keep everything organized. Don't forget to pack essentials like a reusable water bottle, a power bank, and a travel-sized first-aid kit.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shope.ee/4po3QcwRIn" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="540" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKDc5HD69QGtJTPGFeU_VD_KAcp9ze0IVjCwKj04DN4Rhbg0SZtqr7Ovh9f30a-GFm0nKUwVkdZ6hREPGcKTVwG7APV5ZJe1XJV4BSleCa6EtpjKGwwsWdbuD6BJQ6TkBAPypi71u5Upz8jRFqVv1DhA7tHEjvDeSQXjJFAbfcTuFypPBKb-ujnb8Mne0/s320/travelbag.png" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shope.ee/4po3Qmwrtq" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0r3JN1jyukJ8yCF02h9igd_Hd7O1vN7iMBCE_zoYacERsa4CAfw7gYOmSpwbtIAsoswN5D6LCdjbEUYSCJJs531-X8X2dNyP3b9F0vr-veYZjPq1gtG7tjw06okBIlMeK8vsp6RdJcJgWHk2QuP6x7oJildp9LaKvPV88bFhQwE4kiobiKkSvSmWuE9E/s320/PackMate.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Utilize Travel Apps</h1><p>In today's digital age, there are countless travel apps designed to make your journey more convenient. Download apps for flight tracking, accommodation booking, and navigation. <b><a href="https://affiliate.klook.com/jump?adid=9474&af_wid=1506" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Klook</a></b>, <b>Google Maps</b>, <b>TripAdvisor</b>, <a href="https://hotellook.tp.st/vuY6ywH3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>HotelLook</b></a>, and <a href="https://aviasales.tp.st/5ZVukClz" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Aviasales </b></a>are just a few examples. These apps can help you find the best deals, discover hidden gems, and stay organized throughout your trip.</p><blockquote>If you are not yet a member at <b>Klook</b>, sign up <a href="https://www.klook.com/invite/87R8D?c=SGD">here</a> and get a discount off your first transaction! 😊</blockquote><p><br /></p><p><b>[<a href="https://www.travelbytez.com/2018/06/booking-hotels-directly-or-via-3rd.html" target="_blank">Booking hotels directly or via 3rd party platforms?</a>]</b></p><p><br /></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Carry Snacks</h1><p>Airport food can be expensive, and long bus or train journeys might not have many dining options. To save money and ensure you have something to munch on during your travels, pack your favorite snacks. Granola bars, nuts, and dried fruit are portable and filling options that can keep you energized on the go.</p><p><br /></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Bring a Reusable Water Bottle</h1><p>Staying hydrated is essential when you're on the move. Instead of buying bottled water every time you're thirsty, bring a reusable water bottle. Most airports and many cities have water fountains or refill stations where you can top up your bottle for free. This not only saves you money but also reduces plastic waste.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shope.ee/1qARroyxFK" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="540" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC8srCQSF5GjiUa0gQQk4tQZ_ek9W8xGHC4Dy1ZfSPBz4b82sb1sv2DvRHN01SW9EtjIXdxw7WjJtKUk5dKngTddzjPbw23s0hlKFVvphzh53V7INTfMNRdmTVyXwNji-FLxc5l8yE9JYcgls4UNN9ctmtOIEkNwiX3LLIpn6I2oJw9o4-twkv2gketU8/s320/travelbottle.png" width="320" /></a></div><p><br /></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Master the Art of Packing Light</h1><p>Packing light is a skill that seasoned travelers swear by. Choose versatile clothing that can be mixed and matched, and limit yourself to a few pairs of shoes. If you're worried about having enough outfits, remember that laundry facilities or services are usually available in most destinations. Embrace the minimalist packing approach, and you'll have more freedom to explore without being burdened by heavy luggage.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h1 style="text-align: left;">Use Local Transportation</h1><p>When exploring a new city, consider using public transportation instead of relying solely on taxis or ride-sharing services. Local buses, trams, and subways are not only more affordable but also offer a chance to experience the city like a local. Many cities also offer transportation cards or passes that can save you money if you plan to use public transit frequently.</p><p>

Flights and accommodations are often cheaper, and popular attractions are less crowded. Plus, you'll get a more authentic and relaxed experience in your destination.</p><p><br /></p><h1>Travel Insurance</h1><p>With the changes in travel nowadays, it is all the more important to get travel insurance for your vacation. Travel Insurance covers risks during travel such as loss of passport and personal belonging cover, loss of checked in baggage, getting sick while overseas etc...

Gone are the days where travelers were reliant on travel agents, or unable to find the contact details of an accommodation easily.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are looking for the best deal and getting your money’s worth, would booking direct with the accommodation better or using a third party website like <b>Expedia</b> or <b>Agoda</b> better? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, that would depend on what your priorities are. If you are trying to earn loyalty points with a particular hotel chain, or if your travel plans are prone to changes, than booking directly with the hotel may be the better option as it offers more flexibility (e.g. change of dates and the option to pay upon checking in or out). Ad with hotel promotions and best price guarantees, it might be better sometimes to check with the hotel directly to see if they can match the prices you found online. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, if you are looking for a better deal and getting your money’s worth, then using a third party site like <b>Expedia</b> or <b>Agoda</b>, or a price comparison site like (e.g.<b>TripAdvisor</b> and <b>Hotellook</b>) might be a better option. Price comparison websites help you compare prices across third party sites (like <b>Expedia</b>, <b>Zuji</b>, <b>Agoda</b> etc…). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">They even display the hotel rates too, giving a quick overview of what to expect and how much you probably could save across multiple websites. They give a quick overview to know what to expect and how much you can save. The only catch? With great savings usually come inflexibility (e.g. no changes, no refunds, and payment upfront). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxyhvB9ABUGQLqOxD9Evce8OB0NREW1O2NY93iyY-pPTj4gFCmc9wlyBaEyt85HTkOfbNjrwtmt6B7BzTQj9o3nr2-Dk31Ppq-I2YNV53ZsAtbJOShS4IuSQDkccuTF8cw3gdlf9cFJZM/s1600/beach.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="598" data-original-width="600" height="399" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxyhvB9ABUGQLqOxD9Evce8OB0NREW1O2NY93iyY-pPTj4gFCmc9wlyBaEyt85HTkOfbNjrwtmt6B7BzTQj9o3nr2-Dk31Ppq-I2YNV53ZsAtbJOShS4IuSQDkccuTF8cw3gdlf9cFJZM/w400-h399/beach.jpg" width="400" /></a> <br /></div>

Here is a simple glance and the differences between 3 price comparison sites, <b>TripAdvisor</b>, <b>Hotellook </b>and <b>Travigo</b>. For my travels, I used to use <b>Hotelscombined </b>as a platform to check hotel prices, but since they merged with <b>Kayak </b>due to the pandemic I have moved to <b>Hotellook</b>. Similar to <b>Hotelscombined</b>, <b>Hotellook </b>compares room prices from 70 different hotel booking services, enabling you to pick the most affordable offers that are not even listed on each service separately.<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">💙 Third Party websites 💙</span></b></u><br />
Usually hotel prices tend to be cheaper on third party sites than if you book directly with the hotels as there are tie-ups with banks to offer <i>credit card discounts</i> for selected hotels. I have had a few stays where I used the discounts available for credit cards and managed to save up to 10%.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For my travels, I would usually check <b>Hotellook </b>and the hotel's website (to see if they have special promotions or best price guarantees), for a quick overview and comparison for a better rate before making that final decision. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are some hotel reviews of hotels booked via third party platforms with credit card promotions: </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Even if there are no<i> credit card promotions</i>, sometimes it can be cheaper to book via a third party website than the hotel directly. When researching prices and/hotels, it would be best to use a price comparison site like <b>Hotellook</b> to get an overview of the rates. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here are some of the hotels I stayed at which had a lower rate from the third party website than the hotel rate at the time:</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">💛 Hotel (Direct) 💛</span></u></b><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Some hotels have a best rate guarantee, so it could be a good idea to do a generic price research for particular dates, and then contact the hotel directly to see if they can offer you the same (cheaper) rate from the third party website. </div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This is where price comparison website <b>Hotellook</b> came in really handy. I managed to get some credits, enough to get 2 massages at the hotel’s spa for <b>Novotel Platinum</b>, <b>Bangkok</b>, when it was stated that there was a price guarantee on the website. The process was relatively simple and straightforward.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><div style="text-align: left;">Of course, sometimes it can also be cheaper to contact the hotel directly or check out their website for any <i>ongoing promotions</i>. For instance, by contacting the hotel directly, I managed to get a promotional rate for <b>Oasia Residence by Far Eas</b>t, <b>Singapore</b>. And when I booked via the mobile website for <b>Dorsett Mongkok Hongkong,</b> I saved up to 35% (the room was small but it was worth the money!)!</div></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">💢T</span>ip: </b>Regardless of whether the accommodation was booked via a third party site or directly, I always make it a point to email the reservations team to double-confirm my booking and mention my room preferences; so far, so good. </blockquote>

<span style="color: purple;"><u><b>👉Things to note👈</b></u><br /><div style="text-align: left;">If you are going to book with a third part website, any changes would be a pain and to resolve (e.g. refunds, change of dates or cancellations are as good as impossible). So always remember to read the fine print, and if you need greater flexibility always book with the hotel directly instead. </div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: purple;">Without relying on a third party, the hotel can accommodate to your additional requests easily and readily. Of course, you would also be paying a little bit more for that flexibility. </span></div>

To get to <b>Sentosa</b>, there are various modes of transportation. You could take a taxi or alight at the <b>VivoCity MRT Station </b>and then heading over to level 3 to take the tram into the island. </p><p><b>[<a href="https://www.sentosa.com.sg/en/getting-to-sentosa/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">How to get to Sentosa</a>]</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><h1 style="text-align: left;"><b>What to Expect</b></h1><p>The Forum B1 of <b>Resorts World Sentosa</b> has been transformed into a mesmerizing world of art dedicated to <b>Van Gogh</b>, along the way to the exhibition there are artistic bunnies with the influence of <b>Van Gogh</b>; perfect for taking a wefie/self or two.</p><p>Upon arrival, at the entrance of the exhibition we were greeted with lots of <b>Van Gogh</b>-themed rabbits wearing sunglasses, amidst a huge Starry Night-inspired mural speckled with with sunflowers. </p><p>After getting our tickets verified, we entered a dark alley way filled with self-portrait paintings o<b>f Van Gogh</b> on both sides of the entrance. Following a staircase down to a second room, replicas of oil canvas paintings from the 1880s adorned each side of the walls. </p><p>Before entering the exhibition area, we were greeted with a the larger-than-life <b>Van Gogh</b> <b>Experience </b>pop up banner stand, decked out in sunflowers. A perfect place for some photos for sure, and waiting in line to get that perfect shot did take some time as lots of people were wanting to do the same.</p><p>Past the sunflowers, we entered the actual exhibition area which houses several different rooms and corners to experience 360-degree digital projections, replicas of life-like paintings, dozens of colorful projections, interesting facts and photo opportunities; complemented by an audio soundtrack.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjepIgWsR1kcyQpWjBmSGinoRGaKjv10RlnR-_E6VSdRvMTDvQ6l-LcIgrBCijMrPGh_2DiTvgFrRyIS5oztzd3vc-grp8Lhk-8CSBKm-_SxlQqlcTH2oq7OV3-cczfY3XIBzCYf_9l5U0frwOYZS6a7pzLJHdCW7nYMHDvqTAYz7h5KAn0xPkaJwpI9vE/s1000/Van%20Gosh%20Immersive%20Experience.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1000" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjepIgWsR1kcyQpWjBmSGinoRGaKjv10RlnR-_E6VSdRvMTDvQ6l-LcIgrBCijMrPGh_2DiTvgFrRyIS5oztzd3vc-grp8Lhk-8CSBKm-_SxlQqlcTH2oq7OV3-cczfY3XIBzCYf_9l5U0frwOYZS6a7pzLJHdCW7nYMHDvqTAYz7h5KAn0xPkaJwpI9vE/w640-h512/Van%20Gosh%20Immersive%20Experience.png" width="640" /></a></div><p>There was a fascinating sculpture of <b> Van Gogh’s </b>head, which turns into a colorful collection of his most famous artworks, <i>Starry Night</i>.

That his full name was <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_van_Gogh" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vincent Van Gogh</a></b>. He was brought up in a family with a strict upbringing and tried to break free of the constraints he thought was constricting his without realizing he was never truly free: the way in way he wanted to express his art and stubbornness in pursuing perfection relentlessly resulted in him developing depression. He loved painting the same subject, over and over again in different seasons and perspective and did a lot of self-portraits.</p><p>His complicated friendship with Paul Gauguin, another painter with different ideologies on art, also affected his mental well-being. While his close relationship with his brother, Theo, helped somewhat both financially and emotionally, it was never enough. On 27 July 1890, in a field near Auvers, Vincent shot himself in the chest with a revolver. He died two days later, with his brother Theo at his bedside. He was 37 years old.</p><p>All in all it was a good experience with the immersive qualities and use of technology to bring the artwork to 'life'. Hidden amidst the bustling noise of <b>Universal Studios </b>and other <b>Sentosa </b>attractions, it’s an entertaining and educational experience for all ages.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have you visited <b>Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience</b>?

Then this will be the perfect article for you! </p><p>There are 3 types of public transport in <b>Singapore</b>:</p><h1 style="text-align: left;">1. MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) Trains / Subway</h1><p>Most of our popular attractions are just a short walk away from an MRT station, so that makes our trains a great way to get around. </p><p>For both our trains and buses, you can use 3 types of payments for your rides:</p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Singapore Tourist Pass (STP)</b> - a special EZ-Link stored-value card which will allow you unlimited travel for one, two or three days. The Pass can be bought at the <b>TransitLink Ticket Office </b>at selected <b>MRT Stations </b>listed <b><a href="The Pass can be bought at the TransitLink Ticket Office at selected MRT stations listed here." rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a></b>.</li><li><b>Adult Stored-Value Smartcard (EZ-Link / NETS FlashPay)</b> - These cost SGD$10 and come with a stored value of $5 for you to use on your commutes. The validity of the cards are about 3 years, so you can et this and use it for the next time you are in Singapore too. You are able to purchase these at the Passenger Service Centres in train stations, any Transitlink Ticket Office or convenience stores such as 7-11, Buzz and Cheers.</li><li>You can use your foreign-issued <b>Mastercard®</b> and <b>Visa </b>contactless bank cards, as well as your mobile wallets for the payment of public transport fares in <b>Singapore</b>. No registration is required. <b><span style="font-size: x-small;">*Admin fees apply for foreign-issued bank cards.</span></b></li></ol><div><br /></div><p></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">2. Buses</h1>Our bus routes are also some of the most scenic, allowing you to indulge in the lush greenery and beautiful architecture of our ‘city in a garden’. All public buses are wheelchair accessible and open strollers are allowed. Please approach our friendly bus captains if you need assistance. Do take note that you may be required to fold your stroller if the bus has too many passengers. You can refer to the the <a href="https://www.sbstransit.com.sg/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SBS Transit</a>, <a href="https://www.smrt.com.sg/Journey-with-Us/SMRT-Buses/Accessibility" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SMRT</a>, <a href="https://go-aheadsingapore.com/">Go-Ahead Singapore</a>, and <a href="https://towertransit.sg/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tower Transit Singapore</a> websites for more information and guidelines.<div><br /></div><div>You may also opt to pay in cash on buses. Do prepare the exact fare as no change will be given.<br /><p><br /></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">3. Taxis / Ride Hailing Apps</h1>Taxis are comfortable and handy when you want to go to places not accessible by the bus or MRT. They are metered, but there may be surcharges depending on when, where and which company’s taxi you board. Id you want to get a general idea of the final fare, check with the driver on the surcharges and ask for a receipt at the end of the trip. You can also check out <a href="https://www.ptc.gov.sg/fare-regulation/taxi-PHC/P2P-Transport-Services">this website</a> for a quick and easy comparison.<br /><br />You can hail a taxi by the roadside at most places, or by queuing for one at a taxi stand, which you’ll find at most malls, hotels and attractions.<div> </div><div>You can also download the app to make your life easier: <a href="https://apps.apple.com/sg/app/cdg-zig/id954951647" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Apple </a>| <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codigo.comfort&hl=en&gl=US&pli=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Android</a></div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>*Do note that this app is applicable for taxis which are blue and yellow in color. Taxis which are silver, red or purple usually only accept cash rather than cards or via app.<br /></b></span><div><br /></div><div>One of the benefits of downloading the app is that you can pay via credit card for street hailed rides, all you need to do is pair your ride when you are onboard and the rest is easy.

There are a couple of free activities that can be done when visiting <b>Kyoto</b>,
and one of them is to visit the Palaces. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In order to join the free
tours without any hassle, you would have to first register online. Of course, you can also apply for the permit on the day itself, on a first-come-first-serve basis.
The online process is relatively straight forward: once you have
registered, you need to print out your 'permit' and use that as a ticket
to allow you admission for the tour.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are 5 palaces to visit and we actually went to the <a href="https://www.travelbytez.com/2016/11/sento-imperial-palace-sento-gosho-tour.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Sentō Imperial Palace</a>, if we had more time we could have visited them all.

</p><p>There are 2 ferry terminals in <b>Singapore </b>- <b>Tenah Merah </b>and <b>Habourfront</b>. As with airlines, there are different ferries which you can choose for your trip. For ours, we took the<b> Sindo Ferry </b>from the <b>Habourfront Ferry Center. </b></p><p>The <b>Habourfront Ferry Center</b> is about a 4-5 minute walk from <b>Vivo City Mall </b>(<b>Habourfront MRT Station</b>).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOYJ6H9HUrSMzhWCkxdCwBevyhf2eKnVMn-hBZVXOxnMSVT59n8dCe_1ifyqoKzQxff4zc0whr2rh7MrfNYf1hbLAheAe4_-q8Gb12NuLkCmBxcpbjkXSOAQDkiLqtWfzbbJSwOmw3ItThpq8423ZxpVDcB3nuU38zH0eFacxKVu3iouqU8nlAHpz7/s2000/Ferry%20center.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="2000" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOYJ6H9HUrSMzhWCkxdCwBevyhf2eKnVMn-hBZVXOxnMSVT59n8dCe_1ifyqoKzQxff4zc0whr2rh7MrfNYf1hbLAheAe4_-q8Gb12NuLkCmBxcpbjkXSOAQDkiLqtWfzbbJSwOmw3ItThpq8423ZxpVDcB3nuU38zH0eFacxKVu3iouqU8nlAHpz7/w640-h512/Ferry%20center.png" width="640" /></a></div><p><br /></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Journey to Batam</h1><p>Our Sindo ferry departure was at 9:30am, but we arrived there at 7am to have breakfast and wait for departure. There's a Macdonald's which opens at 7 am. When we arrived, the shops were not open yet, but as time trickled by more shops were open and people started streaming in. A pair of return tickets on average is around S$75-85. </p><p>Since it was just a 2 day 1 night stay, we did not have any check-in luggage. That made the process much faster. If you have luggage for check-in, similar to the process they have for flights, you'll have to check it in. Overall, it was a pleasant ride.</p><p>Boarding was relatively quick, and the queue was fast moving from the <b>Singapore </b>departure side. The whole journey to Batam took about an hour. The ferry was air-conditioned and clean. There was even a refreshment corner. Before we knew it, we had already arrived at <b>Batam Center</b>. </p><p>Immigration too about an hour from the time we alighted the ferry, waited in line and got our passports stamped. They actually paste a QR code sticker for the arrival stamp instead. </p><p><br /></p><h1 style="text-align: left;">Journey back to Singapore</h1><p>The journey back to <b>Singapore</b> was straight forward and simple as we had our return tickets with us. If you missed out buying the local snacks or souvenirs, you would be able to get it at the <b>Batam Center </b>before you head back to <b>Singapore</b>. </p><p>Our departure was for 4:10pm, and by the time we passed immigration and got our passports stamped (this time it was really a stamp) it was time to head back to <b>Singapore</b>. We arrived in <b>Singapore </b>about 6ish in the evening.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5IXyaVPUEYwyIF21WmEtvdDTomx5DUq-zbbjte0MVseVaA5qhc5dmWN5rF7Ry1-1fqwVKj4pazBWwTVU8XFDbB9Koc83rGt2yDgAGyFTeyyIBf4F3zgIk0rz6_Zwggh0ene5mPXRI4OERZ_wEqL3Rt5kj1A5QRBGvdwgvBFb0M2mTZE-SiUPHWmua/s2000/Sea%20View%20Batam.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="2000" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5IXyaVPUEYwyIF21WmEtvdDTomx5DUq-zbbjte0MVseVaA5qhc5dmWN5rF7Ry1-1fqwVKj4pazBWwTVU8XFDbB9Koc83rGt2yDgAGyFTeyyIBf4F3zgIk0rz6_Zwggh0ene5mPXRI4OERZ_wEqL3Rt5kj1A5QRBGvdwgvBFb0M2mTZE-SiUPHWmua/w640-h512/Sea%20View%20Batam.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A sneak peak on the views on both ferry journeys</td></tr></tbody></table><p>So there you have it, the experience we had when we went to <b>Batam</b>.

The building has also been given a fresh cost of white paint, giving it a fresh feeling. The gaudy light signboard no longer adorns the main entrance. <br /><br />Despite the updates, the property occasionally exudes tiredness: the signage at the entrance is really dated and when we first saw it, we had some apprehension on how the experience would be (think wildness school camping). But our fears were unfounded as the entered the property: it was clean and modern enough for a comfortable stay. <br /><br />Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcome drink. It was a refreshing welcome from the warm weather outside. Once we were settled in, since we were there for a team building event, we proceeded to the activities that awaited us. <br /><br /> <br /><h1 style="text-align: left;">The Food and Experience</h1>The chairs in the restaurant were tired and the chairs were sunken a little uncomfortable to sit. It would have been if they could be updated for a more comfortable experience. <br /><br />Now on to the food, we had lunch, break and dinner at the restaurant. Lunch was pretty standard but nothing to shout about. There was rice, soup, noodle and other sides, fruits and desserts that while palatable, were nothing to rave about. The environment was clean and there were no houseflies flying about. <br /><br />During lunch, the only weird encounter I had was with the chocolate jelly; chocolate does not do well in a jelly. <br /><br />Breakfast was buffet style. The staff at the entrance will ask for your room number before being let in for breakfast. It was a fuss free experience. The buffet breakfast had typical fare such as rice, noodles, porridge, bread, cereal and an egg station with the usual fare you see at breakfast. As mentioned earlier food was palatable but nothing to be wowed at. <br /><br />There’s a kelong within the property which serves up pretty decent seafood if you want something nearby and do not want to travel out. <br /><br />For dinner, as it was a teambuilding event, they set the area near the pool to be an open space buffet for dinner with a stage for the activities. While the experience was good and fun (food again was average), I cannot imagine the noise pollution for the other guests staying on the property. The party went on to the night at about 10pm, and I spotted a couple of guests coming out of their rooms to see what was happening. So, if you are staying here for leisure, something to take note of. <br /><br />They have a little pet / animal corner which I wanted to check out but had not time to do so. <br /><br /> <br /><h1 style="text-align: left;">The Room</h1>We had a room on the second floor.

Other than that, the room was clean (enough) and the toilet was in good condition with toiletries provided.

In fact, out of all my hotel stays, this is the first time I have encountered such a quality of bedsheets but for the price point it’s not really a deal breaker. Just take note that it will not be a luxurious experience. It’s even rougher than the bedsheets I use at home, but that did not really affect sleep quality as the pillows were a nice consistency. <br /><br />Wifi provided by the resort was relatively strong throughout the property which is a plus to stay connected. <br /><br />Sound proofing (from the lounge on ground level) seems to be good. There was loud music and singing happening till the early morning (about 2am) but our room on the 2nd floor was quiet enough; could not hear a single sound. <br /><br /> <br /><h1 style="text-align: left;">The Facilities</h1>There are a variety of sea sports which you can do at the property to enhance your stay. Definitely worth checking the activities out if you want more excitement to your stay.<br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkHyCmzJz9XdVqV7RJP68EqpEUV7zvMNZbFoXDkvSxXfGAthaWz2xAh_Q0QUUNtKnEJ5arfTAjqs6AF3isfR5_tWBqTkFgic3XkazCdJT3AU_pd1e1NkiTDmIzUFlnDNugrxexCHQkorLXEMeywQtB54WbSeJrQ3vnid93Q5btEnhp3CxDjTmRtLSg/s2000/BVR%20Pool.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="2000" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkHyCmzJz9XdVqV7RJP68EqpEUV7zvMNZbFoXDkvSxXfGAthaWz2xAh_Q0QUUNtKnEJ5arfTAjqs6AF3isfR5_tWBqTkFgic3XkazCdJT3AU_pd1e1NkiTDmIzUFlnDNugrxexCHQkorLXEMeywQtB54WbSeJrQ3vnid93Q5btEnhp3CxDjTmRtLSg/w640-h512/BVR%20Pool.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">There is also a pool with a pool bar if you want some water fun but not too exciting.</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br />If you want some spa and pampering, there is a onsite spa but the prices are more than triple of what you can get outside in the malls and spa outlets. <br /><br /> <br /><h1 style="text-align: left;">The Location</h1>The resort is quite a distance from the city and if you want to head to the malls or visit the city, it would be about an hour or so journey. There are nearer malls in the vicinity, about 15-30 minutes away so something to consider too. But if you are there mostly for the relaxing, food, beach and sea sports it should be a good basecamp. <br /><br /><b>Batam View </b>is only 300 metres away from <b>Montigo Resort</b>, so you can walk across and enjoy their restaurant and bars if you want a change of scenery but do not want to travel out. <p><span class="firstcharacter" style="text-align: justify;">O</span>verall the experience and the environment for this price point<span style="text-align: justify;">. Checkout was a fuss free experience. Just note that it is a location mostly for teambuilding activates and quite a distance from the city. Also, if you are staying pick the rooms which do not face the pool for a better night's sleep. </span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><ol><li style="text-align: start;">Service <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTO98vy4Mmea3cx1tP90A3WAnE-iiG4_QZS-dtUz_SeCKVwfj-8x8mHPHRNAYEokT8pkLdV9rHewaGEmYmdkKE3mfVSIOvgtqf6fqSAMCZGPKPHVdYuKYN29DpjHkjZyTc6uk12nKu-JZK/s1600/rating.png" /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTO98vy4Mmea3cx1tP90A3WAnE-iiG4_QZS-dtUz_SeCKVwfj-8x8mHPHRNAYEokT8pkLdV9rHewaGEmYmdkKE3mfVSIOvgtqf6fqSAMCZGPKPHVdYuKYN29DpjHkjZyTc6uk12nKu-JZK/s1600/rating.png" /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTO98vy4Mmea3cx1tP90A3WAnE-iiG4_QZS-dtUz_SeCKVwfj-8x8mHPHRNAYEokT8pkLdV9rHewaGEmYmdkKE3mfVSIOvgtqf6fqSAMCZGPKPHVdYuKYN29DpjHkjZyTc6uk12nKu-JZK/s1600/rating.png" /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZiGlDTPUju-k-c6Ga9uXZKfyIy3-O85Ga8Za0wXN-75JrcIaiaF0NYtDcJpdUFI0LKkEKWwMXxgkFQHJ0u2aHYqmnp5blP5fZLWJyydEFgsAqfpeRFRQ_AkOBRXIx6DToTFfA7F9NS6l-/s1600/rating2.png" style="text-align: justify;" /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKeauShEEBLnkD-yqM5zs_3o9uw7J4UIgxeM6u8lnTdX2_Esqw7Y4ucZcLgii_i9nKBq8ieCuB0t09RmXiMMCVd-M50RVYQ5TFbXwVJZs_echDbNZF4ixob_9OcLnHxF-mAwvpEWTXFN4Y/s1600/rating-none.png" /></li><li style="text-align: start;">Value <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTO98vy4Mmea3cx1tP90A3WAnE-iiG4_QZS-dtUz_SeCKVwfj-8x8mHPHRNAYEokT8pkLdV9rHewaGEmYmdkKE3mfVSIOvgtqf6fqSAMCZGPKPHVdYuKYN29DpjHkjZyTc6uk12nKu-JZK/s1600/rating.png" /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTO98vy4Mmea3cx1tP90A3WAnE-iiG4_QZS-dtUz_SeCKVwfj-8x8mHPHRNAYEokT8pkLdV9rHewaGEmYmdkKE3mfVSIOvgtqf6fqSAMCZGPKPHVdYuKYN29DpjHkjZyTc6uk12nKu-JZK/s1600/rating.png" /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTO98vy4Mmea3cx1tP90A3WAnE-iiG4_QZS-dtUz_SeCKVwfj-8x8mHPHRNAYEokT8pkLdV9rHewaGEmYmdkKE3mfVSIOvgtqf6fqSAMCZGPKPHVdYuKYN29DpjHkjZyTc6uk12nKu-JZK/s1600/rating.png" /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZiGlDTPUju-k-c6Ga9uXZKfyIy3-O85Ga8Za0wXN-75JrcIaiaF0NYtDcJpdUFI0LKkEKWwMXxgkFQHJ0u2aHYqmnp5blP5fZLWJyydEFgsAqfpeRFRQ_AkOBRXIx6DToTFfA7F9NS6l-/s1600/rating2.png" style="text-align: justify;" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;

<br />
After managing to find a reasonable online offer for the U room, booking a room at the <b>Hotel Quote Taipei</b> was relatively easy. Although the hotel is not centrally located to the major attractions, that is not an issue if you are not pressed for time and want to take things slow: not only are taxis readily available, the <b>Nanjing East Road MRT Station</b> is about a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel and there are bus stops within walking distance too. The hotel is also diagonally across from Taipei Arena, near some clothes shops (e.g. NET & So Nice), a 24 hours Watsons store, a department store (Momo departmental store) and IKEA next door.<br />
<br />
<b>Hotel Quote Taipei</b> has 64 rooms, so you can be assured that there will not be too many guests (and noise) as with large hotel chains: individual floor access is limited via key card. The hotel has a trendy concept and even though it does not have a gym or swimming pool, the service and ambiance make it a pleasant experience. It is a quaint boutique hotel: the entrance has a chic bar incorporated at the reception area, with a DJ playing every night. The hotel also has complimentary foot massagers that can be delivered to your room! </div>

<br />
There is also a 24 hour "HQ" where you can grab drinks and snacks for free, as well as complimentary internet on two Mac "stations". You can also grab supplies like rubber bands, nail files, cotton wools, toothbrushes and bath salts at the "HQ".<br />

Check-in was a pleasant and fast affair and we were warmly welcomed with cups of tea. Although the check-in time is 3pm, the room was ready when we arrived an hour early. We were brought to our room by Fenny, and she explained all the facilities (e.g. free mini bar refilled everyday, Nespresso coffe machine, '<i>Damana Neroli'</i> bathroom amenities, every detail in the room is carefully crafted for a comfortable stay. You do not need to worry about bringing along an international adapter as every electrical outlet is customized as an international socket, so one less thing to bring along.<br />
<br />
WiFi is complimentary and the password is provided upon check-in, if you have more than one device that needs to access the WiFi, you can easily get another set of passwords. The only gripe about the WiFi is that you have to log-in each and every time for access.<br />
<br />
Perhaps it was because the booking was done online via a 3rd party or it is a common practice, it is good to note that the hotel charged NT$8000 as a deposit (which was refunded back after our check-out). The lighting might be too dim for some, but we found it alright. <br />
<br />
There was also complimentary breakfast for the duration we were there. Food was good and there was a slight variation of the foods served. Staff were friendly and very smiley. Breakfast is from 0630 - 1000 am.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>Getting There </b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1) Bus </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are arriving from <b>Tao Yuan International Airport</b>, it is recommended that you take the <a href="http://www.freego.com.tw/">FREEGO Bus</a> to Taipei. The bus fee is NT$140 for one way and the tickets can be bought at the airport.<br />
<br />
Alight at the <b>Sunworld Dynasty Hotel</b> stop (<b>王朝大酒店站</b>), it is the last stop. Than take a 3-5 minute walk to <b>Hotel Quote</b> which is around the corner. The whole journey took less than an hour.<br />
<br />
OR<br />
<br />
Alight at Nanjng East Road Station and walk down 5-10 minute walk to <b>Hotel Quote</b>. You can take with the<b> <a href="http://www.freego.com.tw/">FREEGO Bus</a> </b>(NT$140) or<b> Evergreen Bus </b>(NT$150). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b>2) Hotel Limousine Service </b><br />
If you want more luxury and pampering, you could choose the fastest and most expensive way to get to hotel by opting for its limousine service: <br />
<ul>
<li>Mercedes Benz S320 NT$1900 /one way</li>
<li>Volkswagen T4 NT$2400 /one way </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3) Taxi </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can catch a taxi down to the hotel or get the hotel to book one for you. The fee would be about NT$1,100 /one way. We had the hotel call a taxi for us for the journey back to the airport. It was a smooth and pleasant affair. The journey to the airport took about 30-45 min on a Sunday afternoon.<br />

The walk to the carousels was not that far away. Everything seemed normal, just that the wait for our luggage was taking quite some time to appear. By the time our luggage appeared, I realized that my luggage which was locked was now missing that lock (the same lock that has followed me to <b>Paris</b>, <b>Taiwan </b>and <b>South Korea</b>)!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thankfully nothing was missing from the luggage, since it was practically awaiting to be filled with the shopping spoils after the trip; there was nothing valuable in it. But the thought of losing an item with such sentimental value (it has traveled with me) was simply irritating and made my imagination go wild: was it snapped off on purpose, or perhaps accidentally when it was moving through the belts to reach its final destination (but it ‘survived’ so many other trips before this)?</div><div><br /></div><div>Upon closer look at the other luggage on the carousel, I noticed that while some luggage seemed perfectly fine, others were (more) worse for wear (than mine), they were literally unzipped or even ripped at the seams!</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOe-ywBLMQ1-kqSmCWtvthO7zoaE6C74C5ANtl2CSI0jSd0WL064q7Z3PcazQMjYQWVMGcLvnnZ-hvvYULgd8PfE5IU5XnY_DBmpVVp3oG6PDkhSVBV_uvdi-47eYqrqEd5DBzyV4VIaFsCSkflcV1QoW4tw0wgRSGpXJEHHqYKW0AUPnEyOzK2ee2/s874/broken.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="620" data-original-width="874" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOe-ywBLMQ1-kqSmCWtvthO7zoaE6C74C5ANtl2CSI0jSd0WL064q7Z3PcazQMjYQWVMGcLvnnZ-hvvYULgd8PfE5IU5XnY_DBmpVVp3oG6PDkhSVBV_uvdi-47eYqrqEd5DBzyV4VIaFsCSkflcV1QoW4tw0wgRSGpXJEHHqYKW0AUPnEyOzK2ee2/w640-h454/broken.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Just some examples of what could have been worse</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><div>A little googling brought up astonishing results. I never knew that you could use a pen to open a locked luggage, given it was easier when the luggage did not have a fastener (to make it a little more difficult). While you can prevent such things from happening, you can most definitely lessen the probably and increase the difficulty of doing so. Always keep your valuables (ie. camera, laptop, or anything else you don’t want stolen) on you.<br /><blockquote>It’s important to remember not to put electronics, cameras, jewellery, money, or eyeglasses in your checked bags. Airlines do not insure those types of items, which are a prime target for thieves.</blockquote>When packing, snap a photo of the items that you're putting inside. It'll help support your claim of stolen items later in the event you encounter such a scenario. Again, do not place any valuables into your checked baggage... unless you want to take the chance that it will be lost, damaged, or stolen, and you recognize that you will most likely not be reimbursed for the loss.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>The below are some itesm which maybe considered as valuables and if you place them into your checked luggage and lose them, you will most likely not be reimbursed for the loss:</div><div><br /></div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Cash currency</li><li>Negotiable papers</li><li>Legal / Business / Financial contracts and documents</li><li>Jewelry, precious metals, stones or materials</li><li>Watches</li><li>Equipment such as cameras, video and photographic equipment, camcorders, audio equipment, film, camera equipment, photographs.</li><li>Electronic equipment/devices, personal electronic equipment/devices, including components such as compact discs and video game cartridges.</li><li>Computers and related components</li><li>Binoculars, telescopes, optical devices including eyeglasses</li><li>Silverware</li><li>Art objects, sculptures</li><li>Historical artifacts</li><li>Original manuscripts</li><li>Irreplaceable books, publications, collectibles (such as baseball cards) </li><li>Antiques, heirlooms</li><li>Keys</li><li>Medications - Keep necessary medication with you at all times.
