Singapore and Malaysia Re-visited

 

The Rain Vortex at Singapore Changi Airport. The world's largest indoor waterfall. Donna and Amy stopped off in Singapore then hopped over to Malaysia for two weeks on the way back to NZ in late August and early September for a relaxing break before getting back to school and work.

Malaysian street food. Murtabak, a kind of stuffed pancake with spicy sauces.
On the running track on level 4 (or 3a if you're Chinese) of the apartment complex in Johor Bahru. Below is a shopping mall and above, the apartments.
Nightswimming.
Johor Bahru (JB) City Square.
R&R at the R&F. Opera house with the apartments behind.

City Square again

Singapore and Malaysia



 Merlion Park, Singapore



















Kuala Lumpur with the Petronas Towers, formerly the world's tallest building, already surpassed by the incomplete Menara 118, just 3 kilometres away.



















Batu Caves, just outside Kuala Lumpur.




















Anyone for tea? Boh Tea Plantation, Cameron Highlands. Cooler climate at 1500 metres above sea level - preparing for English weather.
Heading to Taman Negara national park
Rainforest walk.
Floating Restaurant.
Beach at Kuantan, east coast.
