本日から会社は3連休だった。
今日は一日同僚の方に色々な場所に連れて行っって頂きジョホールバルの実態の勉強になった。
まず、朝は地元のマレー料理を食べに。記憶だ正しければ、ラクサスと呼ばれているマレーシアの伝統料理をそこで食べた。本当に地元感の溢れる場所であり、地元の中華系の人がたくさん見受けられた。このご飯は麺系でラーメンみたいであるが、味付けなどが違い、ココナッツの風味が多かった。１つ困ったのは飲み物。こちらの水はあまり飲まないように言われ、毎回コーラかペプスの連続。お茶もあるのだが、砂糖の量が多いので、考え物です。
ご飯のあとは、携帯を購入に。3ヶ月の滞在なので、プリペイドの携帯を購入。その安さに少し驚いた。本体がRM69 （2000円くらい） でカードがRM10 （300円くらい）でおそらく3ヶ月大丈夫かと。ご飯を食べるときも思うのだが、物価がやはりやすい。1食 400－500円くらいでけっこういいものが食べれてしまう。
街を案内してもらったのだが、建物の建設がたくさんあった。どこにいっても大型のコンドミニアムであったり、ショッピングモールであったりと何かと建設所を見た。その一方で空室のオフィスも多々みた。全体的に栄えているのがわかるのがわかった。
週末には機会があればシンガポールに行きたいが、急ぎすぎず、様子をみて決める。
since today was my day off, my coworker (housemate) took me many place in Johor Bahru.
we went to have lunch in local Malaysian restaurant. if I recall correctly, I had something called like "laxisas". (picture above) The place is a legit local place and i could only see local people except us especially Chinese. This food is sort of like Ramen but it has different taste and ingredients. My problem in eating local stores is, so far, not being able to drink water because, first of all, they don't serve water, secondly, I was told not to drink water by friends since it's not safe. only choice I had are pepsi and coke. Although I can order tea, it comes with tons of sugar in. They never let me adjust how much sugar I want. They serve tea that already has tons of sugar in.
After getting food, we went to buy a phone. Since I am staying for only three months, I bought a pre-paid phone. I was surprised by how cheap the price was. Phone itself costs RM69 (around $20) and activation card RM10 ($3). This package should be enough for my whole stay. In going out to eat, I only spend around $4-$5 to have good meal.
I saw a lot of properties being build around the city. No matter where we went, I could see a huge condominium or shopping mall being constructed. On the other hand, I sometimes see empty offices in some areas. I could feel that this area is booming now.
I am thinking of going to Singapore this weekend but I am not quite sure at this point.
