My family and I had the chance (while we are staying in JB) to visit Johore Zoo last Monday. My son, Afwan was so excited that he was almost speechless every time we saw a new animal. My baby daughter was very cool, well that was what we assumed, as she was well-behaved and only made noise when she was hungry...
Being born in the year of the tiger, I was quite impressed with the number of tigers found here. If I'm not mistaken, there are 7 tigers altogether in 3 different cages. All are pur local tigers except two from Laos. I also noticed that these two are skinny compared to our local tigers..wonder if they miss their country of origin and don't have the appetite to eat!!! Kesian kan?
I think our kids had fun during the visit, especially Afwan... He kept on saying, "Nak zoo!", "nak zoo"....hehehe! And finally, before we went back "Nak man (Ultraman)". It was actually the aluminium-paper baloon in the shape of Ultraman...so we bought him that. He was so happy to have "man" taken home with him.
That's all....
