Shawn and I boarded the bus out of Singapore into Malaysia... we cleared immigration 4 times today! Once in the departure hall when arriving on the bus from Singapore - once at the arrival hall Malaysia. Then the opposite on the way back - each time getting off the bus and catching it (or another one) when the immigrating was complete. Fascinating process... no pictures allowed in the government buildings - so you'll have to take my word for it.
We had 3 goals in Malaysia, 1) Eat something awesome, 2) buy some stuff, 3) have our nails done.
Missions accomplished! We ate some great stuff and spent a whole $7.50 on everything. I ordered fries because I always find it interesting to see how different things are served across different countries. Shawn had stolen some ketchup for such an occasion! We also had a noodle dish with seafood, spring rolls, pineapple fried rice, the fries (which come with chili sauce), and 2 drinks.
Shawn did plenty of shopping - some souvenirs, some stuff for himself, I enjoyed the experience but only got a few things, myself.
We also hit a nail salon, a bit of R&R and new polish makes such a diference.
This evening, we met back up with Laura and had a great night out on the Rooftop of the Esplanade complex. Laura likened it to Singapore's version of Lincoln Center back home. It was lovely to walk through, some concerts in progress and some terrific views.
