My first "Opinion-of-Foreigner-about-Batam Victim" Mr. Valeriy - Russian

It's been months since my first "hello" post. Oh well, I have managed to find some interesting things to post, but just got the idea this morning. I have decided to create some questionnaire for some foreigner about Batam according to their opinion. And it works, start from some foreigners I knew. This is the first one who sent back the form to me and he also doesn't mind to share his picture while he's in Batam below, enjoy!
