First and foremost, you MUST have a valid passport! (not the expired one but the latest one😉)
Before you planning on going to a tourist attraction that are on other country, you must make sure that you have your passport individually or group passport but we advise you to have an individual passport to make it faster during the immigration.

Next, you need to PLAN your accommodation. We advise you to stay in Johor and if possible in Danga Bay. This is because most of travel & tour company will take their customer at the most of the hotel in Danga Bay unless you bring your own transportation to Johor. This is also a good idea because you can survey a lot of hotel that are more cheaper than the one in Danga Bay. Even though it will be a bit far from the city center, you might save a lot for your accommodation budget.

It is advisable for you to BUY your USS entrance ticket before you go there because a walk-in price might be a bit expensive. There are a few trusted seller of USS entrance ticket and the one that we contacted for our previous visit to USS is @borong_uss_tiket. Do visit his instagram. Not only the entrance ticket, but we also got the e-voucher $5 meal. Isn't it cool? He also sell other theme park ticket. The best thing about his instagram is that he sell the ticket in a reasonable price. So, you can budget your expenses if you buy the ticket before you go. He also will give you a tips before going into USS.

After you book for your hotel, transportation and stuff, you have to CALCULATE how much you're going to spend in USS and change it to SGD. For both of us, we only change MYR100. So, both of us got around $31 and trust us! We survived with only $31 in USS. We got to eat lunch at the Goldilocks Fried Chicken at Far Far Away theme zone for $12 and it's HALAL! we also got to buy a souvenir for each one of us! isn't it great?

When you have settle everything and right now you just have to go to USS, make sure that you WEAR a suitable clothes on the day of visiting the USS. This is to avoid you to feel uncomfortable during your trip in USS because you will be walking all day and you don't want your discomfort ruin your mood on that day, right? 😉

Always make sure that you KEEP hydrated in the theme park. Bring along your water bottle with you and don't worry! If your bottle is empty, USS has putting out at all of their theme zone a water dispenser. So, you can just refill your bottle and keep yourself hydrate all day🌝

BRING along your extra clothes. You will be going to play a lots of ride and there's a dry and wet ride. So, to make sure you stay energize and fresh all day, bring an extra clothes. You can change it in the restroom that they've provided.

This is the most important tip you have to remember! Take CARE of your personal belonging. USS have provide a locker for your belonging. Most of it are based on how long your going to put your belonging and there are also locker that you have to pay before you use it.

By: Najihah Azman & Alia Roslan

Bengkulu, not many people would know about this ethnic.

There are many versions of the origin of the name Bengkulu or Bangkahulu. Bengkulu name comes from the story of the war between Kerajaan Acheh and Kerajaan Sungai Serut in the XV century.This story happened when the prince of the kingdom of Acheh proposed and rejected by Puteri Gading Cempaka, daughter of the King of Kerajaan Sungai Serut. As a result, Putera Sultan Aceh ordered naval forces to attacked Anak Dalam. The war caused many of the people perished at Sungai Serut and drift up the river.When the army invaded Acheh, Pasukan Anak Dalam was yelling "empang ka hulu!!empang ka hulu!!" which means they ambushed their area of ​​track. From that word, eventually became Bangkahulu and eventually called Bengkulu.
