First trip to Malaysia

Jimmy and I decided to take a bus to Malaysia this weekend.  It takes a little over an hour to take the bus and it only costs a few dollars so we figured we'd check it out.  To get to Malaysia we just had to cross a short bridge over the Straits of Johor.  Once across the bridge, we were in Johor Bahru.  There isn't really a lot to do there but they did have a mall right when we got out of immigration that we walked around.  I saw a dessert place that looked good so we stopped there.  After I ordered and went to get a seat I realized the seats were toilet bowls.  As we looked around we noticed people's food was served in toilet bowl shaped bowls!  Then we realized we were at a place called T-Bowl - A toilet bowl themed restaurant!  That was definitely not something I ever would have thought of.  After eating on our toilet seats, we walked around outside for a little bit too.  They had this really pretty garden/park that we wanted to walk around but as we got closer there were signs warning that you would be shot if you entered so that was a no go! We were able to see Singapore from where we were so we got a few pictures.  There is an outlet mall in Johor Bahru but we didn't go there - that's something I can do with my mom when she visits.  They also have a Legoland and a few other amusement parks more targeted at kids.  I doubt we'll head back to Johor Bahru unless its for the outlet mall but we're definitely going to visit some other cities in Malaysia.
