Bro,i believe Chinatown or Arcade should have about similar or at times better rate than in Batam since a day or 2 before CNY eve. Or the least,this year most of my money were changed in Chinatown. 9330/SGD 2 days before CNY eve and 9300/SGD respectively.

I have learned from my last 2 years CNY experience,i arrived Batam prepared with between 9380/SGD to 9400/SGD from my last Dec trip. Still not enough due to my extended stay,so i have to change a bit more at 9250/SGD in Batam.

Next year CNY 2018,i hope to do better.

Ask your driver to bring you to the 3 heads lion.
Yes,went to fetch a girl from the airport who is currently still in my room now,hehehe...however, I didnt get to tour the airport due to time constraint. Shall do so in the near future.

Thank you for mentioning the 3 head lion,something for me to look forward to in my future batam trips.

Cheers!
