Wow... just flagging down a cab costs us almost $5 already... :yikes: .

Solution?

Just walk loh... I've been walking to Sim Lim Square from Payar Lebar every Saturday. Distance is around 7km. Good exercise. But I think I caught covid when I passed by Little India because there was an incredible amount of people crammed into the tiny street. So always have your mask on especially around places with lots of people even if you are in an open area.

Personally, going to johor actually brings us alot of enjoyment. Don’t recall that we used to be such regular before covid. We usually stock up on household, gardening, medication, medical supplies, massage, etc… whenever we are there.

I dread on clearing the customs.

I experienced the excitement in JB before. I like it …just the jam. Hopefully it gets better soon.

We too. Hence must choose the right time to go.

But it's worth it and enable us to self-care (massage and eat) Quite a number of my younger team members (with kids entering primary school) start to appreciate it alot more when they have more kids so they end up stocking up on diapers as well. Looking at the Singapore prices sometimes make me :roll:

hopefully with the RTS, clearing the customs will become a breeze and hence can entice more locals to go there for shopping.
