we're in johor bahru, malaysia and staying at a guesthouse/hostel rated 76% by past guests on hostelworld.com
what does that mean? this is a summary rating that includes character, location, cleanliness, security, staff and fun. and we've learned 76% can be a little sketchy...particularly on the cleanliness scale.
while traveling we've tried to stay above 70%.
this place is not a 76%. it's incredible. you could eat off the floors/walls/bathroom sink/toilet/outdoor porch - basically the 10-second...five-second? rule does not apply here. chris w and kelly - you would be in heaven here.
there is 24 hr. electricity (ok maybe only exciting for us), air conditioning, free wifi and an ensuite bathroom. amazing! did i mention it's only $8/person?
Colin - this post is for you!
this is my reflection in the immaculate floors
ok, yes i am pretty excited about the hostel. BUT today we're moving to singapore (and as catherine said to "sing and pour") to meet my parents.
Dad - i don't know how fullerton bay hotel will compare. this might be some stiff competition.
Dear Ari - did you abscond w/ your securID with plans to raid the coffers of your former client (name redacted due to NDA)? Is it still on your key chain as you travel through southeast asia with plans to use it to fund your ransom? Or is it sitting in your old desk somewhere we can find it and thus not have to file 3 forms and lord knows how many phone calls due to this huge security incident in the making? Please respond at your convenience - and PS - if you think Malaysia doesn't like drug traffickers - wait until you hit Singapore.
ReplyDeleteSingapore = EATING...LOTS!!!!!!! Make me proud :)
ReplyDeletewoohoo singapore! i know it may be just another big city to you guys but i'm excited to live vicariously through you two. its the only developed big city in southeast asia aka not third world...well brunei is considered developed but its really small. anyway enjoy the 24 hour electricity :)
