Oh MY MALAYSIA!

in #travel7 years ago

Malaysia is like Philippines in so many ways. The climate, warmth of the people and delicious food will not make you miss your homeland.

At the immigration it was really crowded because too many people cross the border everyday as it is just a short bus ride from Singapore to Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Many traders and workers go back and forth making the immigration so jampacked not just by tourists but also locals from both countries.

I went to Johor Bahru, Malaysia just to taste their famous BBQ chicken wings and Satay. It was so unforgettably delicious.

I went to the closest shopping malls and the price was relatively cheaper compared to that sold in Singapore.

As usual, I bought some clothes and shoes and was really satisfied. I felt I got a good bargain. There were so many foreign exchange shops where you can change Singaporean Dollar to Malaysian Ringgit.

But did you know that among the countries in Asia that I have visited, my side trip to Malaysia was a unique experience.Why? because for some reasons I was held for an hour at the immigration. They were suspecting that I was trying to exit from Singapore to be given another 30 days to stay in Singapore. I was asked to count all my monies, had my photos and fingerprints captured and asked for so many ID's.

Good thing my Aunt who happens to be a permanent resident in Singapore was with me. I was able to get away with more questioning in no time. That was scary because the immigration officers was kinda rude, except for the immigration guard who kept on assuring the other staffs that I was with a permanent resident.

This made my trip one of the most unforgettable. A shopping spree that ended to a thrilling adventure.However, this did not make me not want to visit other parts of Malaysia like KL and Genting, these places are still on my bucket list.
