Welcome to Malaysia...

Goodbye Singapore, Hello Malaysia...



We left Singapore at around 7:30 am on Wednesday (June 20) for Malaysia. After traveling for only about 20 minutes we reached the Singapore/Malaysia line. After going through customs and passing security we began our daytrip through lower Malaysia starting in the lower state, Johor. After traveling for several hours we arrived at Putrajaya. Here we saw the Ministry of Justice and the Malaysian Prime Minister’s office.

The view from his office was gorgeous. We made our way to a landing that overlooked the water and was placed beside a majestic mosque.





After being touristy for a while we traveled to Kuala Lumper. While there we took a bus tour of the city. Along the way we stopped at the Royal Palace and viewed Malaysia’s version of the ‘twin towers.’ At night they are magnificently light up with stored solar energy.


Liz and I posed with the royal guard (its kind of like the guards in England, they don't move)...

Following our tour we checked into our hotel and went night shopping down the street. We found great deals and all enjoyed our new found expertise in bargaining. I was proud that I bargained a knock-off purse from 180 ringgits to 30 ringgits! ;)

More to come...

Lots of Love,
Sarah
Just for fun...
