Day: 14-08-2011.
Place: Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
Sri Raja Kaliamman Temple, known as the country's first glass temple located near Johor Bahru in Malaysia. Imagine 300,000 pieces of finely cut coloured glass carefully placed together to create intricate designs.
On Sunday evening, decided to go to this temple. Reached Woodlands MRT at around 3 in the afternoon. By the time we finished immigration check at woodlands check point and Johor Bahru check point, it was almost 4.30. Before we came out of the JB sentral, Malaysia Ringettes were obtained at the currency converter shop.
We came out of the sentral Mall looking for a taxi. To prevent from getting cheated, we went directly to prepaid taxi service. It costs 10RM to reach glass temple, which looked reasonable at that moment to all of us.
We spent as much time as possible inside, but still it took only 45 mins to look at everything inside since it is a very small temple compared to our expectations. As we had enough time, we thought of walking back. This is the time when we realized that this temple is only walk-able distance from the sentral.
There are many shops inside city square and JB sentral. Costs are very cheaper compared to Singapore
