Hello all.
I have the same usual question that comes out every year.
I was in Batam in both July 2012 and 2013 and, honestly, I had lots of fun, in spite of limitations. I know how to behave respectfully during the holy month.
This year, it is more difficult: Ramadan goes from 28 June to 29 July 2014, with Idul Fitri on 28-29 July.
I can/wish to go to Batam in July, but of course I need to avoid the days when all entertainment (discos, KTV, massage) will closed.
What are those dates (exactly) I should avoid?
I know discos and ktv are usually closed on the first, middle and last 3 days.
Or more than that? This year, the end of Ramadan falls exactly on the week when I could go there.
It is enough to avoid the last 3 days? Or there will be total closure for more days, say one week? And what are the middle 3 days?
I know many girls will pulang back home at the end of Ramadan, and I know the end of July is not advisable, but assuming I can go there only in the second half of July, what are the dates I should definitely avoid, because everything will be closed?
I am trying to plan my trip doing the best that it possible, considering all problems.
Thanks a lot!
