Johor Bahru

I went to Johor Bahru yesterday. It was an activity that I used to do quite often. But a check of my passport told me that I have not been there since 2005.

How time files and how things change. Gone were the days when we used to go in every other day at any time of the day. The checkpoints and the road have changed, so has the look of the customs. Yet some things remained nostagically the same.

The shops are the same. Same shops that we used to go and wash our bikes, same places we used to watch them get cleaned. Same petrol stations and same cheap cigarettes.

A simple affair yet at the same time strangely enjoyable.
