shopping wise..there are alot of FOS there..u will see many brands..but most are just good imitations..at a good price too

for massage..try "The Zen" .. it is a damn good place for leg massage and cheap...trust me..its worthy to go almost every night.. bike i dunno, but we travel around on taxi. well, all i can say is..find online what to eat and where to go cos its pretty much there..unless u wanna head to jakarta. weekends, traffic would be bad cos alot of jakarta ppl goes to bandung for shopping and stuffs.

u should head to the few malls they have to take photo and have snacks..cos they are quite beautiful =D

also..chiong for the immigration counter cos there are only 2 counters and hundreds are making their way out..lols

Rent bike need license ?

If you are asking this question, I presume you don't have a motorbike licence.

Like many third world countries, you don't need a licence to rent a bike. The renters won't even check if you have one, but if you are stopped by the police, you'll have to pay a bribe.

But more importantly, if you are involved in an accident, your INSURANCE (travel and personal accident insurance) WILL NOT COVER YOU.

Also, having ridden in several third world countries, I can pretty much say that traffic rules are regularly flouted and some roads may not be well maintained, which means that you need to have some motorcycle skills and experience to avoid unexpected obstacles/potholes and vehicles that do not behave as expected.

If you don't have a licence, you are likely not a very experienced/skillful rider and you are putting your life at risk.

For these reasons, it's best to actually have a licence. You'll need an international driving licence which you can get from Automobile Association of Singapore, and of course, at least a class 2B motorbike licence.
