Nagoya? sleepy small town to today very crowded malls.

Batam Center? You should see for yourself....

and more.
I totally agree with u . Nagoya was a small dusty town with houses like S'pore in the 1960s. The hotel I stayed in had no running water and had to pump from waters containers from the ground floor....but fortunately, the aircon was working. The FRs here are giving me a good reason for a trip
