Back to Nature @ River Spa Bintan
Longing to get back to nature, managed to find two different places in Bintan, that offers great spa with a twist of difference. Just an hour away via ferry, Bintan is a convenient getaway. Aroma Spa, offers the full spa amendities for us to melt away. The spa is great and in a setting that you can just destress. After spa, Pasar Oleh Oleh and Kampong Lagoi offers a wide range of eateries to choose from. Also shops to pick up some local souverniers. Another spa that I really enjoyed is one set in nature and back to basic. River Spa is set in the

Cycling @ Batam – Barelang Bridge
Batam, or better still the Riau islands near Batam, is known for many things, but not really for cycling. Now that has changed after we rode the 6 bridges (some say 7) connecting these islands. These bridges make a spectacular contrast of modern engineering against a rural backdrop linking Batam to the southern islands of Rempang and Galang. The Barelang bridges have become an icon in Batam (the name is an abbreviation from Batam, Rempang, and Galang) & riding them makes one feel … well … “On top of the world”! The Ride The start/end is the

Round the World in “80 Trades”
Came across this interesting show : Round the world in “80 Trades”. Another cool way to see the world. The host Conor Woodman is actually an economist by profession, but one day just felt that he don’t want to be desk- bound, so decided to go round the world. But with a difference. He traded to go round the world. He sold his house for £25,000 and went to different countries, buying from one region n selling at other making a profit. Watch it… quite a different n inspiring program!! Check out how to sell chilli source in India!!
