a trip to Johor Bahru

A few weeks ago I went to Johor Bahru for a wedding. JB is in Malaysia, just across the causeway from Singapore.

The queue to get across the causeway is rather long, but we made good time. The neat thing was the seemingly endless line of motorcycles crossing.



Just outside the Hindu temple in the heart of Johor Bahru are a number of these shops selling garlands to the faithful.

These ladies were just standing around chatting outside the temple.


A side street in Johor Bahru, lined with street food.


Refraction


These next few were taken at the night market in Danga Bay, JB. The whole time I was there, I kept thinking about that classic Canadian series, Danger Bay.

dried fruit


More dried stuff... very stinky...


Caution parts designed to fall apart and choke...


OMG! They killed Teddy!!


Stop the ride, I wanna get off!


Watches. You want or not?



A shop selling Joss Paper and other accoutrement to the faithful attending the Chinese Temple across the road.


Atop the Chinese Temple


A prototype for the Gorn?


the pen is mightier...


Astroboy... Not in the Chinese Temple... but it would be funny to see him there.


Don't wander into the wrong place in Malaysia or you will be forced to dance like an idiot on crack...
