A Journey to Pulau Kukup at Johor

Pulau Kukup is a village that near to the sea. There is a good place to relax but not a good place for fun. All the houses are build on the sea, include the school.





I relized that 50% above traveler is older people. The all traveler live at a place long house like the picture below.




There provide mohjong and karaoke system. All the older people like to play mahjong at here however the children and teenager singing non-stop. Like us ^^
The next morning we go to mangrove the tropical tree that grows in swamps and sends roots down fromits branches.


We also visit the fish farm. The sea water there very dirty, so we can see some fish was die...

If got change i'll go there again with my family. But for the active person i advance you don't think about it, because you will feel boring and nothing to do at there. Have a nice day^^
