Hello Malaysia ππΎ
First of all, I wish you all a happy 4th Advent from the 30-degree warm Muar (Malaysia) π―π.
Yesterday we left at 9.30 am and had breakfast first ππ. Of course, we went to the same place again because the breakfast was simply amazing. After that, we were a bit clueless because there wasn't much left for us to see (at least not in our price range π ). So we just wandered around and visited the Arab quarter. Everything there looks really beautiful with cafes and restaurants everywhere.
After that, we went to a park until we almost died from the heat. So we sat down in a cafΓ© (Jasna was promised a cake, so it had to be fulfilled βπΎπ). When tiredness completely overcame us, we went back to the hotel. At 5.15 pm, we continued, this time with a plan - Marina Bay Sands Skypark. The view from up there is amazing, you can see the whole city, the harbor, and the sea. Of course, the prices up there are also insane π€¦π½ββπ.
After drinking 2 glasses of wine, we went out to have dinner.
Since everything was so expensive in the past few days, we sat down in a snack bar on our street. We were more or less dragged into the place. When we sat down at the table, we felt a bit like we were back in China π€¦π½ββπ. Except for the Chinese men who were drinking beer here, there was no one else. And of course, they stared at us again, just like in China π. But it doesn't matter, the food was good and for a change, it was cheap ππ½. Then we went back to the hotel.
This morning, we continued to the bus station at 8.45 am - departure to Malaysia π²πΎ. The bus ride was surprisingly easy, even at the border, everything went quickly. We arrived at 2.30 pm. Everything here is definitely different again. Cleaner than in Vietnam and Cambodia for sure π. But you can definitely tell that we are in a Muslim country. The people here are also looking at us, but not in a stupid way, but in a very friendly way π. After arriving at the hotel (by the way, it's really cool and the beds are super comfortable), we had something to eat at Pizza Hut and, surprise surprise, we went for a coffee (coffee is lifeeeeee).
Now we are still sitting on the roof terrace and having a beer π».
In this sense, adios bitchachos, enjoy your Sunday. We will continue to Melaka tomorrow afternoon π.
