Mini Little Town at Legoland

Welcome to Legoland, where you could see other countries in just a day! 

It is located in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. So, when you are planning to visit USS Singapore, don't forget to visit  Legoland too. It is automatically under one package, even if you don't want to, you are advised to visit them together in one package, as practically, Johor Bahru is just beside Singapore.You could save some money while travelling to more places. P.S. There is a tour package to go Legoland one day and going back to Singapore at the same day. Enjoy!

Don't Forget to Smile :)

Do you notice there is a small little boat over there..

B. SINGAPORE

5. The Fullerton Hotel, and The Merlion

Our next journey, is one and the only Singapore.When you go to the real Singapore, you should go to this spot. Well, the one portrait by the LEGO is not the latest Singapore Landmark, it is the old City Hall type. But I believed, at that time, the view is still very nice.

The landmark for Singapore is the water spitting statue - half sea animal and half lion. The story tells that long ago, Sumatra-king, Sang Nila Utama shipwreck and was washed ashore on an island. There, he met a strange animal, which proved to be a lion. Later he called the island Singapore, which translates to 'lion city".

13. Category: Random Places

There are some other random places which is interesting to visit.

 Legoland from above..

Legoland from above, just like a mini city, like those were seen on the map. 'Mini Legoland' at The Legoland :)

The Dragon 

Don't worry, when you pay to visit Legoland, it is not only about a small little city that is worth to see. Though, one day is not enough to only see the mini town area. But don't forget to enjoy the ride as well. They have a various kind of roller coaster, from long to short, from car to train.

Project X

While me and my friend thought that this Project X is a easiest and the most safest-feeling ride among others, yet, this is a scariest ride above all. Well, it still couldn't beat Battlestar Galactica Human & Cylon in USS, but it could beat the rest of the ride in Legoland. It is not a long big roller coaster, on the opposite, it is in small car, and looks as it is a slow ride. But don't be tricked by its look.

Lesson that me and my friend had learned from here: Do not underestimate a small thing..

Lost Kingdom Adventure

It is the nicest and safest-feeling ride among the other. Suggested that you enjoy this ride at the end of your journey. 

Dino Island

Don't get a chance to get wet, as the ride was always under testing when I was visiting there.

Even, the LEGO made Albert Einstein

Reaching the end of our journey, visiting more than 5 countries in a day, oh, probably not even a day, it was less than 8 hours. Me and my friend ended our Legoland journey here with exhaustion, excitement and story to tell :). Something to recommend though, that you follow some tour transportation, to go from here to Singapore, or from here to your Hotel. As that time we were not joining any tour, and only go by ourselves. 
It resulted with a long hour looking for a transportation to go back to our hotel, and finally we have no choice but to take a very expensive taxi.

And, finally its me, in front of Legoland - night scene (please pardon my camera).. :)

Cheers, and Enjoy! :)
