As discussed during the soccerguys general meeting yesterday 25th Nov, an excursion will be proposed to go to Batam for cable skiing, while we are still young and can do these sorts of things. The date is yet to be set, and we will acertain what is day in which the majority of interested parties are available. Probably a saturday as there are no extra rates for weekends.


A full-day pass inclusive of ferryride, lunch and equipment costs $83. Seeing that an hour alone costs $20, and the ferryride is $33, The fullday package seems like a great deal. Delaying the return trip for another day of skiing or for other activities on batam (shopping, waterworld, etc lah, don't think dirty) is also possible as the ticket back is valid for 3 months. Batam time is one hour behind, and the place opens from 9am to sunset. No need for visa, no need to change currency as S$ is accepted everywhere.


As a comparison, the Singapore one at east coast costs $40 for an hour, and $20 for each subsequent hour.


So this is just a dipstick to test the water (no pun intended). Interested parties can i have a show of hands?
