On foot
Immediately after the opening of the new Customs Complex (CIQ) in December 2008, crossing the Causeway from Singapore to Johor Bahru on foot was officially prohibited by the Singapore authorities. After clearing Singapore Immigration at Woodlands Checkpoint, you must take any bus waiting at the bus platforms to cross the Causeway. The Singapore Police Department is stationed at the entrance to the Causeway to ensure that no one crosses the causeway bridge on foot. Malaysian authorities are planning to build a new immigration and customs point at the very end of the Malaysian Causeway, which will be used exclusively for people wishing to cross the causeway bridge on foot (only from Singapore to
From a conversation with a taxi driver:
— My wife works in a hospital as a nurse and earns 5,000 ringgit (about 50,000 rubles) a month
— We don’t have corruption, unless it’s somewhere high, and we don’t know about it
- I love my children. They're like a hurricane. Many children mean many problems, but also a lot of love.
- We have good roads.
— I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
“Here’s my wife,” shows a photo on her phone, “she’s a beauty...
— Do you have Putin there?
Malaysia is a multinational country. And so we got into the car of an English-speaking Indian, a father of five children. Above are a few excerpts from a conversation with him about the country and family.
These phrases seem to reflect the mood of the common man in Malaysia. Most likely, there are people here who are dissatisfied with the country, I have no doubt that there are quite a few of them, but nevertheless, people feel comfortable living in the country and raising their children.
I’ll tell you a little secret: when traveling through countries, I constantly try them on and think about where we would be comfortable living. In each country, in a short time of stay, I discover pros and cons, of course, I have no doubt that if I lived for a long time, there would be more such pros and cons, but still there are some common features that attract me or not. Malaysia seemed to me to be a fairly calm and pleasant country to live in, especially if we consider cities where the level of civilization is high. But she’s kind of boring for a permanent life or something...
Johor Bahru
Johor Bahru is a strange (my son's favorite word) city. On the one hand, it is sufficiently developed within the framework of a consumer society, but on the other, it seems that there is absolutely nothing to do there except go to amusement parks and sit in restaurants.
But everything is in order. First, we took the next bus from and went to a city with a name unknown to me until that moment - Johor Bahru.
This time I can’t ignore the description of the bus. He was completely unreal. A regular intercity bus costs 20 ringgit/person (about 200 rubles), if my memory serves me correctly. But inside! You can turn on the massage function on the seats, you sit and it massages you. A TV comes out of the table and shows movies (you know how the tables in the first seats on airplanes come out of the arm of the seat?). Some kind of magic! True, I didn’t need all this whim, because in my arms there was an active girl hanging out who didn’t want to fall asleep and wanted to taste the whole world, but Kostya and Dema appreciated the bus.
Johor Bahru is the capital of the Sultanate of Johor. The city, to be honest, is not particularly significant except for amusement parks and the fact that it borders Singapore. There are also shops. In Johobaru there is Legoland, which we visited, as well as an amusement park named after the pink cat - Hello Kitty and several other theme parks. You can, of course, look for something else interesting on Tripadvisor, but we were not impressed.
By the way, this is not on Tripadvisor, but on Natalya Kosenko’s blog she found an interesting place that we did not have time to go to - this is the southernmost point of Eurasia, “Cape Piai”. If hard times ever bring us back to Johor Bahru, we will definitely stop by the iconic spot.
The border with Singapore sets the locals apart from other parts of Malaysia. I’m not sure about the culture, but if possible, work in Singapore for sure. All more or less ambitious Joho-Barui residents take advantage of this opportunity and receive salaries several times higher than the usual earnings of an ordinary Malaysian. They are not even afraid of the huge queues at the border with Singapore in the mornings and evenings.
In general, we found this place boring and there was nothing to do there except go to amusement parks and shop. Something like in China.
Hotel Johor Bahru - Silka Johor Bahru
We checked into the Silka Johor Bahru Hotel. We booked the hotel through hotellok. There, due to some promotion through Travel.ru, we booked a room for 1100 per day. I really wanted Dema to swim in the pool and for us to have a normal breakfast. True, they didn’t read the small print that the room had no window. We were also a little worried that the hotel was located far from civilization. True, we already realized on the spot that in Johor Bahru, where you don’t settle, everything is just boring.
Upon arrival at the hotel, it turned out that the room had no window and that the pool was closed for renovation. The fact of the indoor pool helped us persuade the reception staff to give us a room of a higher category with a balcony for the same price. I had to refer to the child’s water suffering and misinformation on the official website. After some efforts and persuasion, they finally gave us a better room and we lived happily in the hotel. The breakfasts were good with fruits, eggs and other goodies that children need when traveling. But there is an ambush with civilization. Not far from the hotel (not far - this means you can see it from the balcony, but it would take about 20 minutes to walk under the scorching sun) there was a Tesco Lotus, our favorite in Thailand. There we purchased strategic edible and hygienic provisions. By the way, there are quite good porridges for children in the Malayan Tesco-Lotus, locally produced. But the food court there is terrible. Everything is spicy and tasteless. There wasn’t even a smell of budget cafes in the area.
There is a condo next to the hotel from this hotel. By the way, there is a swimming pool there, which turned out to be closed. Hotel guests can use the condo's gym, a children's playground right on the roof of the parking lot, and a small store where you can buy water and cookies.
Next time I will start talking about Borneo, where we are now. And I’ll tell you about Legoland itself later so as not to lose the impression of Borneo. And finally, I'm almost done with a month-long bus trip around Malaysia from to Singapore with my two kids. Ahead, of course, is another city - a picture of Singapore. And then the miracle island of Bali. But all this will happen after Borneo.
