The church camp @ Harris Resort,Batam, has got to ROCK!
Food: **
Though the food was really horrid because it was always the same Chinese food served meal after meal. I mean, we're in Batam (i.e. Indonesia) and they could have served more indonesian stuff instead of boooring chinese food. But the hotel's specialty butter cookie roxxx! Lol.
Hotel Facilities: ****
They had like quite alot of facilities like foot reflexology, massage, a pool (...duh), bowling, spa, gym, even flying fox, and a pizza palour etc... I didn't really explore the place much and didn't really use much of its facilities though.
Hotel Room: ****
Maybe its actually quite average-ish but what I love about the room is the couch (its super comfy). And I get to stay with my brother while my parents slept in another room.
Service: ****
My dad says that they're quick and alert in clearing plates during the meal service. But the best part was the live band playing for us during dinner times! And they played songs in al languages - English, Chinese, Indonesian. Plus they also invited people on the stage to sing which was really fun!
Staff: *****
The staff seriously rule!!! And surprisingly or not, most of them are super young...like early 20s. And even the chambermaids are very friendly. They always say hello or at least smile at you whenever you walk past. Some of them can even speak Chinese and some dialects.
Messages: ***
All about knowing God, growing as a Christian, serving God, and showing/testifying God's love. The speaker looks grumpy at time though... oops
Youth Group Discussions: ****
We really got to know each other more and also interacted closely with the younger ones. :)
All in all, Harris Resort is a really resort-like place where the focus is on the outdoor activities instead of indoor comfort living. But ultimately, the camp really reminded me that we should all 为主而活 (Live for God)
