To get to Singapore I had to travel through Batam.
Batam is a little Indonesian Island off of Singapore. It's a mess of burnt out buildings, abandoned parking lots, and huge greek inspired statues in front of new housing complexes. There are hoards of motorbikes going every which way. As a casual passerby, its hard to imagine what all of the hustle and bustle is about. You take a ferry past the oil rigs, across the channel to Singapore and into a different world.
