JB Johor Bahru instead of Justin Bieber

Rode a 4 hours journey bus from B.Jalil to Johor Bahru with my friend as we've promised our Johorian friends that we're going south of Peninsular Malaysia this time since we paid the last visit to north of Malaysia which is Ipoh and Penang during last semester break.


Grabbed our brunch at a famous old bak kut teh shop recommended by our Johorian friends once we arrived. The street is full of shops selling bak kut teh and fish head. I wondered how they gonna compete with each other as there are more than 10 shops selling the same foods side by side. Unfortunately, we unable to take the picture of the foods because we were all hungryyyy and the fish was fresh and the bak kut teh was just okay. personally prefer Klang bak kut teh. 


With no rush, we were heading to this park to take some pictures while waiting to meet up with another Johor friend. This park was built based on 1 Malaysia concept?! 
Chinese
Indian


                                     Malay



Bumped into our coursemate at Tebrau City. small world isnt it?! Went there just to eat the green tea ice cream. Some of them dont really like it ended up only 2 of us bought the GREENTEA ice cream before we headed to Kota Iskandar. It's the Johor state new administrative centre and located in Nusajaya. It was named after the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Iskandar.
There's this memorial wall detailing the state’s history and glory days beside the emblem but poor thing we only get to take picture with the Johor emblem yet its almost fully covered by us =D
Us in front of the new administrative centre of Johor. It best to view it on plan view as you can see in the first picture; the Central water plaza which form a huge geometric shape in the form of a star and a half moon are located at the center of the administrative centre.


Overall it was kinda tiring for our first day over there and stay tuned for the next post as we were heading to singapore the next day.!
