Naza Johor Bahru

Hi All!!<br><br>We left delhi just as the monsoon hit! Soaked! Had to wash all our clothes in hostel to get rid of the smells and dirt of India. Both disgusted and amused when we got off the plane to our hostel in believe it or not "Little India!" The one grubby place in Singapore! Typical :)<br><br>singapore was a welcome change from the filth of Delhi! The place is immaculate! Of course the strict fine and litter ...

... and they brought out our meal at the same time as the appetizers...not nice....so they took them back and then tried to serve em to us cold....no way..........<br><br>I called the manager over...and she promised to take care of it....and for us 25% discount...hmmmm ok I say.....then the service still sucked.....and my steak was rare not medium well....was paying enough for it wanted it right and to top it off....****** service.....so get the manager ...

... and it's even better than that cos it's cheaper than Fernloft!! We've been zipping about on the MRT to get to some different districts and yesterday we went to the Asian Civilisations Museum which was amazing, but massive and so full of information that it was impossible to take most of it in! We spent the evening getting food (we cheated and had fries at the hawker stall last night!!) and drinking beers while the locals were ...

... was a taxi sitting there (one of the two in the region we have now heard!) and we were 5 mins down the road to the 'Pulai Desaru Beach' resort. Not quite the direct route but it was a real adventure getting here, including Cam standing at the front of the bus for the last leg keeping an eye on our luggage as the side door where it was stowed under the bust didn't close!! Now we had made it to the Pulai we hoped it was going to be ok as there weren't a lot of other ...

... had two umbrella a the ready. We popped in to the American club for a coffee and then on to Orchard street. There is so much shopping, I am not in theory a shopper, but Sheila managed quite easily to have me purchasing some pretty pearls ,and local bags, These were good value , but other prices in Singapore were really high , Very strange. The boys had enjoyed there golf and in the evening Mike took us to sample their crab restaurants on the sea front, not ...

... either as half of KL seemed to be crammed in. It was pretty scummy and I'm fairly sure the cover charge was so high due to the amount of bribes they need to pay the police to keep this place open. In Malaysia the Muslim Malay population aren't allowed to drink by law and clubs are meant to turn them away, but this place seemed to be owned by one and packed full of them. There was some right characters in there. There was a Libyan guy who was quite ...

... although I convinced myself I had malaria!) so we were glad of the relaxation time. We literally spent 2 days doing nothing, watching a few DVDs and lots of Friends episodes! We did venture out for an hour or so one day for lunch at a shopping mall. That is pretty much all we did, had lunch and got back in a taxi!! Disaster did strike though as at first our driver didn't know where the apartments were, and then it started to rain. We ...

This day were off to Malaysia! It promises to be a long and somewhat complicated day. First, we have to get across the causeway from Singapore into Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Our hotel advised us to go to the bus station at Rochor and hop on one of the causeway express buses. Easy enough...we took a taxi to the bus station and our looks of bewilderment prompted some folks to steer us in the right direction and off we went towards the causeway ...

... back into the central area and had a lovely meal in the poshest bistro we had found - a little too much Malaysian cash to spend! The fruit shakes were superb. We then headed through immigration and caught a bus over the causeway to Singapore for about 50 cents. There was a huge queue into Singapore and after about an hour we headed on our way. We got back to Serene's to find that we were locked out again - she had locked a front grill door lock that she had ...
