In the valley

Have only just got back from KL.More specifically(or not) I went to KL and the hillside resorts. I also spent time driving around. I did drive up alone. I clocked up over 1000 kilometres. Phew!

Took lotsa pictures. They are not ready yet though. But what I do have for all my faithful readers are pictures from my last trip up north which I have yet to post here. I visited Johor Bahru. I had intended to do a lot more than what had actually happened. In the end the only place of significance I went to was the Johore Zoo.



I paid RM 2 to get in. All things considered it was worth it. RM 2 only leh.



Of course it was different from the Singapore Zoo in many ways. Firstly it was rather surprising how close you could get to some of the animals unsupervised. You can even feed the animals if you wanted to.



It was a hot day, so many of the animals made the wise choice to tap a nap in the shade. meanwhile the silly humans went around feeding them (and taking photographs).



Johore Zoo has a rather surprising range of animals for a zoo of it's size. And some of the exhibits were rather good.



Yet others were horrible. Some animals were housed in dark, wet and rusty cages. Even the so called endangered animals were not spared.



It was quite sad to see the animals living in such poor conditions (in a zoo no less).



The Johore Zoo could do with a re-vamp. Most of the exhibits are the same as when I last visited it back in my primary school days. It is run and owned by the Johore Sultanate so I guess no one has the 'testicular fortitude' to take him to task or press his hand to improve the lot of the animals.



But despite all that most of the animals appeared healthy and active.



I will probably go again. but this time I will bring along my beloved Agnes.



I had also planned to visit a nearby museum but I had difficulties locating the place and time ran out.



And that is all...err...folks.
