Yes....even the opening n closing time also got 8.
Just a gimmick....
I believe the big boss is a chinese who likes 8....as it means HUAT!!

Is JH Beauty inside Top 100 building on the 2nd level?

No....it is outside...IIRC....should be the right side of Top 100 building....along the shophouses....right at the end.

Knowing the precision and meticulousity of Chinese, I wonder if someone is taking the time with a chronograph, pushing you out of the room exactly after 148 minutes... ![big grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Thanks for the explanation....
So far in Batam....I had never been chased out before....this is what I like about massage in Batam.
There were cases of me exceeding 1 hr...but the recep never question. Kudos.

Atalanta Spa has become my 1st stop whenever I go Batam and I dont take taxi at all in Batam, basically by walking using Google Map, from ferry terminal to hotel and from hotel to ferry terminal. From ferry terminal to Formosa will take about 15-20mins walk depend on your walking speed.
It will be a good exercise too ![big grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif) By walking, you will tend to pay more attention to the surroundings and can find some rare places too. Thats how i found Dynasty 99 from my last trip

Alighting at Harborbay terminal had given me the opportunity to walk all the way to Nagoya....
But the weather is a killer.....
Unlike SG, there are tall big buildings offering shade....but Batam had limited place to escape the heat n sun.
Btw, if you stay at Da Vienna,.....isn't it a super long walk to Octopus?
