In December 2009 I and John (my boyfriend at that time) made a day trip to Malaysia. We went there by bus. The bus ticket was not that expensive, around $2. It takes about an hour to get to the border. Passing the border was not that difficult either. Just had to fill in some application forms. Stupid me I forgot to bring my immigration card so they kept me for a while. John passed the immigration smoothly as he always had his Singaporean PR.

Once we got in Johor Bahru, the first thing came into my head was 'Wow this place looked exactly like Indonesia'. We were hanging out for a while in the mall next to the border. We found an arcade place, stayed there for awhile and played some games. After we finished playing games we had lunch in the malls food court. After lunch we walked around and stop by a Hindu temple called Sri Raja Mariamman Hindu Temple. They asked us to take off our shoes before we entered the temple. Temple was full of statues. It was my first time to step inside of a Hindu Temple
After that we went to the bay, I wanted to see the beach. Before we got to the bay, we saw this Palace. So we decided to check it out and it turned out to be the Sultan Abu Bakar Royal Palace Museum. The museum was kinda neat. It was huge, clean, and awesome. We had to pay around $7 per person for the entry tickets.We were not allowed to take pictures of the things, but we took a couple of pictures of the building itself. From the Palace we could see Singapore and the peninsula. Inside the museum there is a botanical garden, we did not have the chance to check it out because it started to rain. So, after checking the palace we rushed back to the mall next to the border (forgot the name of the mall). Hanged out there a little bit longer and then went back to Singapore by bus. And on the way went back to the mall I saw an Indonesian consulate building.

If you make it to Johor Bahru I recomend you to go to Sultan Abu Bakar Royal Palace Museum. It is awesome there.
