No, not a tour of the bars on the Darkside or Washington Square but my travels around 3 countries for work and pleasure.

I was considering doing 3 threads (Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam) but thought it better to stick it in the lounge so you lot can stick it up me (and if it bores you).......

Anyway, I may have in the past mentioned I am doing a project in Johor Baru, which is in South Malaysia right on the coast-line just across the pond from Singapore.

The place is quite beautiful with a lot of open space and lush tropical plantations (mainly Palm Oil) and business is really booming there.

The infrastructure is good with the roads and other public amenities being first class.

Firstly I arrived in Kuala Lumpur,a place I really enjoy and here's a few pics from my hotel room window.





Then off to a small little suburb in Johor Baru which has everything one could want. Clean, nice roads with plenty of parking, great restaurants and bars and a huge shopping centre. Quite cheap also and on par with Thailand prices but without the traffic jams.






And plenty of places for the kids to run around.

Whilst I was there they were having the Malaysian National Day and some Chinese festival so these types of decoration lights were set up everywhere.
