    If you are a good walker, all you need are comfy clothing and walking shoes plus a bottle of mineral water for drinking and you are all set to go to explore J.B Town. Most of J.B attraction is located nearby. From this road Jln. Ungku Puan (Inserted Picture) walk straight ahead and you will see the Indian Temple and it will lead you to Dataran Segget and Jln. Wong Ah Fook. On the left (The pink building) is Kota Raya Shopping Center. If you're tired of walking just hail a cab but don't forget to negotiate the price before you take a ride. Normally the price to nearby location will be around RM5.00 to RM10.00.

    "Danga Bay: Vision City Of The South"...Danga Bay Is Fast Becoming A Popular Place To Dine And Relax Among Locals And Visitors From Across The Shore . It's Easily Accesible From Singapore Too. There's So Much Things To Do When You're There! Sometimes There Are Carnivals Organized There To Promote Campaigns For Special Events. I've Posted Some Pictures Which I Took From My Handphone, But It's Kind Of Blur As It Was During Night. Danga Bay Can Be Confusing To Reach At Times And If You Have Any Inquiries Or Need Directions To Get There, You Can Visit The Website.

    Visitors who drive to M'sia via Woodlands Checkpoint have to pay RM2.60 at the toll and if you enter M'sia via the second link the toll will be more than RM10.00 if you exit at Perling, I guessed that's one of the reason why the causeway always have traffic jam. There's news that M'sian Government will increase the price but it is not finalized yet.

    Tri Andara is one of the biggest Jamu shop at Pasar Borong Pandan that sell a lot of Indonesian Jamu and cosmetics. Local herbs or medicines are also available here. If you are one of the users you can get the Indonesian Jamu or cosmetics even when you are in M'sia but the price is slightly more of course! There are shops at Komtar and other shopping center that sell this Indonesian Jamu too.

    N.B:‘Indonesian Jamu’ are medicines or cosmetics that were made mostly from herbs.

    When you pass through this road (Jln. Ungku Puan) you will see a lot of stall selling flowers, incenses and other stuff for the Hindu's to pray because the temple is just around the corner. There are quite a number of Indian restaurants at the nearby location too so just drop by and have a feast on spicy curry meal or try some Indian desserts...Relax for awhile before you embark on another journey around J.B town.

    Along Jalan Wong Ah Fook, you will see the colorful tower of the Sri Mariamam Temple.

    Similar temples like of Southern India origin can be found throughout all major towns in Malaysia with significant Hindu Indian populations.

    You can enter the temple but have to remove your shoes in the inner sanctum. Just ask if not sure. Photography is generally permitted.

    As usual, you will find ferral pigeons at Hindu temple ground as well as the stalls outside selling flowers to dedicate to the Hindu dieties.

    A popular place to be for locals and tourists is Danga Bay.

    Whether you want to take a boat ride, train tram or ride a bicycle or enjoy a stroll, this coastal public park with adequate car parks and no admission fees is the ideal place.

    It can be hot during the day but in the evening with the cool breeze, it is ideal for family time or couples for the night out. There are many different eating places from cafes, restaurants to street style stalls.

    There is also a night market to buy souvenir, bargains and trinkets.
