At the last moment we have changed our plans & biked to Johor Bahru, because some research on the internet showed biking across the 2nd link isn't so easy after all...some say it's legal, others clearly say its illegal...sometime Malay customs don't care, singaporean do, you get stuck on the bridge for hours...mmm, not a nice forsight...so JB after all.
Got lucky & found a couchsurfer who didn't mind taking us in at quick notice...oef, his famile has just (2weeks) moved into a new house in the outskirts of JB...we get all the luck don't we? 2x couchsurfing, 2x in new houses...Sweeeet!
Very nice family (3 kids) who has hosted a lot of others before, they even keep a guestbook where all write down something. So cool (Line & I want that too). The man took us around town for a small tour of the main attractions. The sultan of johor old house (mansion is the right name), parc grounds, mosque. Oldest JB chinese temple & a visit to a local village indian-muslim restaurant...Wow, that was good food! What a flavors!
Cooked a "belgian" dinner for the family after shopping together in the Carrefour. Stoemp with carrots & chicken (cause its impossible to find boereworst around here ;-)) Not every family member seemed equally crazy for the idea of mashed patato & loads of real butter, but the middle aged son licked out the pot at the end. Mission accomplished!
