The
trip across the causeway will take us into another country - Malaysia.
Johor Bahru is the capital of Johor in Peninsular Malaysia. Although
close in proximity to Singapore, the way of life is somewhat different
from that of Singapore.
We will visit a Moorish-styled
building housing the Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque. Perhaps you'll chance
upon a few worshippers in prayers.
Next stop - Craft Town.
An opportunity to view traditional Malay arts and crafts. See the craftsmen
busy at work with their batik printing and songket cloth weaving (songket
is the cloth used to make traditional Malay outfits, especially at Malay
weddings or festive occasions like Hari Raya Puasa.)
We' take a walk through
a typical Malay Kampong (village). A chance for you to experience first-hand
the simple, happy, rural way of life.
