Kevin and I left Tioman Island on Monday morning heading for Mersing. I decided to stay in Mersing for one night while Kevin went to Singapore for a day and a half. I honestly would've gone to Singapore with him, however, because of slight visa issues I decided it would be best not to leave Malaysia and then try to re-enter into Malaysian Borneo. Essentially, the problem is that b/c I don't have a ticket yet that shows I am leaving Malaysia (I plan to take the ferry into Indonesia) immigration would be hesitant to let me into Malaysia. When I was leaving South Africa I almost wasn't allowed on the plane to Malaysia b/c I didn't have a ticket showing my departure (thankfully my 1 year visa into Indonesia saved me). I didn't want to take this risk again so decided I would stay in Mersing one night and then take a bus to Johor Bahru for the next night and fly out of JB to Borneo.
There's really not much going on in either Mersing or JB. These two days I've been preparing for Borneo, which I am super excited about!! Borneo is one of those places I've always wanted to go to so I can't wait to get there. In Mersing I caught up on a lot of emails and took care of other errands, while in JB I actually saw a movie -- Inception -- the first movie I've seen since Cambodia. It was pretty good, almost like Matrix meets James Bond type of movie. Perhaps it was just the novelty of seeing a movie that made it good.
Since neither Mersing or JB is photogenic I've included a couple photos of signs or random funny things...
Off to Borneo!!!!!!!!!!!!
