| Citrus <b>Hotel</b> & <b>Johor</b> Bahru Chinese Heritage Museum | Travel Blog Posted: 03 Mar 2013 01:13 PM PST Advertisement Saturday, 2nd March 2013 Determined to start our day early, I linked up with SJ at 10am in the morning before heading into Johor Bahru. My visits to this southern gateway of Malaysia had became relatively frequent over the past year. During the lull periods when I'm not travelling, we would slot in some visits over the weekend for our usual haunts. For this weekend, we decided to head to Jalan Tan Hiok Nee where the Chinese Heritage Museum was situated. Located within the historical core, it took about fifteen minutes of footwork from where we started at JB City Square. The museum is housed within a restored four-storey shophouse. Admission to this place was recently revised to RM5. But the interesting exhibits that traced the origins of Chinese culture in Johor Bahru made our ringgits well spent! Once the everyday items of yester-years, some of the old cola bottles and vintage advertisements on display brought back fond memories of my childhood days. The gallery depicting World War II in Malaysia was engaging since this topic was seldom discussed outside of Malaysia. I was happy to spend my time on an educational visit to this fine museum. Citrus Hotel that we were going to stay for the night was a real gem in my opinion. Great prices aside, it was strategically located next to the massive JB City Square and the upcoming Galleria @ Kotaraya Mall. I liked that the service staffs were courteous and they never failed to greet all guests. Service during breakfast hours was top-notched too. I would certainly be checking into Citrus again for our future trips. F & YP came by this evening to join us for dinner at one of our regular spots - the 24-hour Old Town Coffee joint @ Taman Sentosa. The quiet evening passed by quickly within the relaxed atmosphere of the cosy cafe as we chatted about our travel plans and the usual jokes. Jokes aside, the massive jam that plagued the evening was probably the worst we had ever experienced. The roads leading towards the downtown were virtually impassable. For the next 3 hours, we were stucked in our car while waiting for the annual temple procession to complete its rounds within the city. I read in the papers the next morning that closed to 350,000 people took part in this year's event which explained the major congestion throughout the city.Certainly, this was a unique experience to end our Saturday evening as we braced ourselves back to our room after midnight for a good night's rest.

| 衣食住行: <b>Johor</b> Bahru - Stay - Zoom Inn Boutique <b>Hotel</b> Posted: 18 Aug 2014 08:34 PM PDT 这片就来分享我们去新山住的小旅馆吧！我们选了好多家（其中更有Container Hotel呢！新山也蛮多特色住宿的说），但因为地点因素各式各样的，最后中选的是这一家非常靠近Danga Bay Tune Hotel的Zoom Inn Boutique Hotel。 我们通过Zoom Inn Boutique Hotel的官方网站订房，定了一间家庭房（Executive Family）和一间双人房（Superior Queen），通过Paypal付款，两间房加起来价格是RM256.41。五个人住，平均每个人RM50左右。  这家旅馆真的很靠近Tune Hotel，而且就在警察局附近。这一区比较安静没什么人，但警察局在附近也能安心一点了。旅馆的隔壁就是杂货店，忘了带必需品可以在那里购买，晚上肚子饿还可以买杯面吃～  旅馆简单的接待处。在这里让工作人员查看你的订房资料（可以印出来或者环保些储存在手机里），他们便会跟你收取每间房RM50的按柜金，退房的时候就会退还给你。办好手续后，工作人员会把一个装着房间钥匙卡和电视遥控器的包包交给你，你便可以入住房间了。 把全部东西放在一个包包的安排很好，那么就不会手忙脚乱而不记得把遥控器或钥匙卡放到哪里去了。（不知道为什么，我常常都在登记入住的时候手忙脚乱的，可能是紧张吧？）  这家旅馆其实是位于一排三层楼店屋的单位，最底层是没有房间的，一楼和二楼则都是客房。  打开我们的Executive Family Room房门一看是这样的。不过要先注明：床上那个企鹅公仔是我朋友的。lol 房间很大，每一间房都有独立的浴室和洗脸盆。浴室的门是玻璃活动门，没得上锁。  Family Room里面有一张King Size大床和一张Single Size单人床。其实我觉得四个人住也没问题。这里入住没有算人头，但是要住的舒服就跟着房间设定的人数入住比较好。  房间一角就是洗脸盆了，洗脸盆比较小，早上梳洗的时候难免会把地上也弄湿掉。房内有附上洗澡毛巾和面巾各三条，没带也没关系咯～  基本的煮水设备、茶包茶杯以及饮用水等等。  浴室的部分虽然是节省空间的设计，但不会觉得拥挤，空间刚刚好。除了活动花洒也有天降花洒呢！浴室里以备有基本的洗澡用品：肥皂、洗澡／洗发液，不过我一向来习惯用自己带的。这样的房价有这么不错的浴室还真棒，唯一觉得缺乏的就是浴室内挂衣服的地方完全不够用，而且很容易被弄湿。  刚抵达的时候另一间房间还未准备好，所以我们全都跑进这里了。懒散的躺在床上，无聊的看着电视上的本地播道。我在本地旅行的时候不常看电视，但去到国外都会打开电视看，看看别人的电视播道都在播什么节目嘛～呵呵～  这是Superior Queen双人房，这间房是红色的，两个男生睡好像有一点太浪漫了是不是？我这天带的镜头让我拍不完全景啊，房间其实还蛮宽敞的。床的上面有块很大的镜子，后面就是浴室了哦！有的朋友不喜欢酒店房里有很大的镜子，我个人倒是没什么避忌的。  这间双人房里也有同样的设备。Queen Size双人床也挺舒服的，重点是我喜欢这家旅馆会提供每人两个枕头的服务。  我个人比较喜欢这间房的绘图啊！Make Fun in Life.  这是底楼接待处旁边的休息空间。这每一间小小的旅馆却准备了这样休息空间，也算用心了。在这里也可以拿到一些旅游传单、地图。 这家旅馆没有让我有太大惊喜，但是整体住宿感觉还算不错，可说是价廉物美。除了我们选住的两种房间，这家旅馆更有单人房、有窗口街景的双人房，以及备有32寸平面电视、浴袍、沙发等设备的高级双人套房，你们可以自己慢慢选适合自己的来入住。 住宿地点很靠近新山市区和热闹的Skudai地区（在两地的中间点），我们这一次比较多往市区跑而没有去到Skudai那一带，有机会还想再去新山游玩几次。=) Zoom Inn Boutique Hotel |
