Kukup

I just came back from a relaxing and fun weekend getaway to Kukup. It was a small fishing town along the coast of Johor, and it's home to plenty of mudskippers.



All we did from Friday to Sunday was to eat, watch vcds, walk around, sing karaoke (my ears, my ears!!), eat, watch mudskippers, play board games, sleep, eat. Did I mention that we ate a lot there? All in all, we had a lot of fun =) One of my favourite ways of passing time there was to observe mudskipper behaviour. It was endlessly fascinating for me to watch them move around painfully slowly with their little fins, then suddenly skip around as fast as lightning. They sometimes chase one another and do "reverse parking" into their muddy little holes... All these could only be seen during the low tide!

Food, glorious food! On our way there, the taxi driver told us that we needn't worry about any lack of food there, and boy, was he right. Our host certainly kept us very well fed. Check out the mouth-watering hei piah (prawn biscuits, literally).


Lodgings wasn't a problem either. We went to Kukup not knowing where to stay, because we wanted to go there and find somewhere. Thankfully the taxi driver had a good recommendation =) Check out the pad! It's a huge place, and the best thing is that we had the place all to ourselves =) We felt like we had a private club or something, given that all our food and snacks were served, we didn't have to clean up after ourselves, and all the tours and meals were taken care of. So spoilt!



We also walked around the town a fair bit, especially after lunch. Here are some sights around Kukup. Notice the rubbish and the mudskippers!





There're more pictures... Look out for Kukup Part Deux!
