Weekend in JB

Went to JB last weekend with my hubby. Travelled from Bugis to JB taxi stand using the SG-JB taxi that cost us S$10 per person. It was well worth it as the journey took us 2 hours due to heavy traffic jam along the crossway. After that we catch a cab to our hotel for RM10 a trip. Reached the hotel around 8:30pm, and watched the Olympics opening ceremony all the way till past midnight.


We stayed at the Mutiara JB. This was our second stay in the hotel, and we love it cause it's just next to Holiday Plaza with its cheap fast food, hair salons, massage palour, and shopping! This is the view from our hotel room, and I just love it as it gives you the nostalgic 'kampung' lifestyle feel with the KTM train running thru it almost hourly in the morning and evening.

The next day we took a cab to Jusco Tebrau City that cost us RM15 there, and RM16 back. The place was huge! We spend the whole day there, watching two movies in the process: Mummy 3 The Tomb of the Dragon Emperror at 10:45am, costing us only RM8 per person due to early bird special (meaning any movie before 12noon). We watched Meet Dave later on at 3:20pm, costing RM11 per person, which is the normal price. Meet Dave was surprisingly good! And there was some reference to Eddie Murphy's Delirious which I rather like.

All in all, it was a great weekend getaway. Cheap, fun, and relaxing! I know a lot of people avoid JB due to its high crime rate, and dirty environment, but I just love it :)
