Malaysian Getaway!

Before our best days in Singapore ended, we thought of hopping in to the next country north. And amazingly enough, we really did!

Yes! We stepped foot on our forefathers' (history told we are their offsprings) land- MALAYSIA! We hit Johor Bahru, southernmost part of Malaysia. We did some touring around the mall, which reminded me of a department store in Colon street sometime in the late '80's.

Anyway, we had fun! We ate @ Kenny Rogers- Malaysian Edition. We had our share of smiles and laughs and shopping and what-have-you! Oh, let me tell you that if you want to go to the jan(c.r.) it would cost you RM.20 (MYR- Malaysian Ringgit) multiply it with P15 Philippine money and that's a cool P3.00 here. Ain't it okay huh?

By the way, we went there through a mere taxi ride! Oh yes! We didn't bring any luggage because we were not planning on staying overnight. So we rode on to the connecting bridge where the Malaysian Immigration Department is located. So we had our passports ready including the air tickets and stopped where a cute little booth stood, and rolled down the windows of the car as the Immigration Officer looked upon us with set of inquisitive eyes ogled @ us so profusely.

We felt a little scared but that was nothing compared to the going back moments to Singapore! Because, after our shopping spree and strolls and the jan thing, we headed back to the taxi station. There were taxi cars but no taxi drivers! Can you believe that? Plus there was this mature individaul who looked like the one of the wanted arabs in the middle east, complete with the turban in his huge head and long gray beard hanging down from his chin, who wanted to get near us to share with the taxi.

Phew! That was fun!
