A break from the classroom, we head out for a day of sight-seeing and adventure.
Passing the CIQ (Checkpoint to enter Singapore), the Singapore-Johor Causeway bridge, the State Mosque, and Danga Bay, we make our first stop at the Sultan Ismail Building.
This is the new legislative center in Johor, opened in 2009. The architecture was stunning, and it was surrounded by a lush green garden.
Heading out of the district, we journey to the end of Asia, literally.
Tanjung Piai, one of the National Parks in Johor, is the location of the southernmost tip of mainland Asia.
We take the boardwalk straight and end up at the jetty. Wait a second...this isn't right! But it sure is beautiful!
Try number two. This time in the right direction. As Leslie (there are two of us this year!!) and I were watching a lizard, we were approached by a group of Malaysians who asked to take a picture with us. Certainly, but only if we get one on my camera as well!
After a short pleasant walk through the mangrove forest, we reach the land's end. Congratulations! We did it!
Back on the bus, we return to New York (Hotel). With some satay
and some more monkeying around,
a fabulous day is completed.
