Bintan- Nirwana Garden Resort
There are many resorts in the island, we went to the Nirwana garden Resort; My God!!! the resort area is so large, they have many types of accommodation with different name. As per pay the facilities differ. We took a room in the first floor , facing the sea.Woooow you will see a garden ,swimming pool and the sea, a beautiful scene to be captured in ur camera.
The resort has a lot of activities like water sports, archery, shooting, cycling etc.... We tried a duo cycle, as the road goes up and down, we were peddling with all our energy to return back to resort, it was a thrilling and a tiring experience. Then we went for shooting, My first shot was a success, yup I am an excellent shooter because only the first one was right, all others went into the ground, My hubby was better than me, he was able to hit around 7 targets- a good attempt, all my training.
There are 3-4 pools and there will always be somebody swimming. There are pools specific for kids, very shall ones, then for adults about 1.5 meters deep, you can choose any and enjoy swimming.
If you are an vgeterian, then there lies the problem, you will get only veg pulao, if non-veg you will get all sea foods, hope it will be very tasty( I havnt tried )
I had a wonderful time in the resort, for a much relaxed week end Bintan is The Best place.

Rice Balls- Another Deep fry dish
My first visit to a 4D cinema
I went for a 4d Cinema in Sentosa an island in singapore. When we entered the cinema hall, nothing was special, u had a huge screen with seats for the viewers.They gave a specially designed glass to wear. I thought it could be a normal 3d cinema and it was; i could see all things close and real. Suddenly my chair was rocking I thought somebody behind me is pushing the chair in excitement, it happened the second time, I even thought of complaining my husband, that the person behind is disturbing, only when i looked at him, I found there was a thud even in his chair, actually it is the 4D effect . There was a heavy blow of wind , sounds of insects heard in my ears, water sprinkled on my face, eveything in sync with the movie.When I came out of the theater I had the real feel of the movie as if i was a part of it. It was an exciting experience.
How was all these effects possible????? there were small speakers attached to each seat to produce the sound close to the ear.A small provision in the front seat, for water to sprinkle. A leaver connecting all chairs that moves to and fro to produce the rocking effect.
My God, human brain is extra-ordinary!!!!!!
