I've been there few times, since it's close with my country Yes, it is a truly asia.. you'll find good foods, cheap accommodation, great view (forest, mountain, the sea) , etc.
Yup, malaysia is next to my country singapore. It is a beautiful country, but in recent years they became a crime infested place. If you think of visiting them, my advise, don't bring any valuable,the chances that you get mug is very high. If you go to the out skirt places (eg. malacca, east malaysia) is safer. Worst place: JB and KL. post
true to a certain extent, though it's certainly much better than places like indonesia and Philippines. this is true. crime at big cities are terrible. even Subang Jaya has its share of pickpockets and snatch theives.
I went there when i was small, too damn hot. I stay at that hotel on the mountain and the tour guide told us all those ghost story. i scared my shit out during that few night...
Have been to Johor a couple of times to have a good meal with family members as well as shopping. But now it seems that the prices are quite similar with our local dishes and shopping goods so seldom pop over to shop and eat.
I was there just a few weeks ago, it was hot! 32 degrees Celsius! I go there every year, I was there for about 3 months around the tsunami time. When the tsunami hit, I was in Thailand. There was an earth quake when I was in the hotel, then everyone ran down the stairs, and the stairs broke away from the walls!
