The 8 Wonders of Johor!

Still remember 💭 Johor state, Malaysia 🇲🇾 is the 1️⃣st state that SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 received an exclusive 1st media invitation from Tourism Johor in the beginning of her lifestyle blogging 👩🏻‍💻📝journey, then subsequently a few more. A special thank you 🙏🏻& great appreciation for the trust🤝

Hmm…Where are the 8️⃣ wonders recently visited by SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 at Johor ~ the Southern gateway into Malaysia 🇲🇾 ❓⁉️

(i) Zeromile aka Kilometre Zero0️⃣

What’s it meant for❓⁉️

It’s also written as KM0️⃣ i.e. a particular location📍usually a country’s capital city 🌆🏙 from which the distances are traditionally measured🔢 Historically, they were markers📍where drivers 🚗🚕🚙🚌🚚🚐 could set their odometers to follow the directions in the early days😄

Truly honour👍🏻👏🏻😃#0km @gayatravel @tourismjohor @johortourism #JomJohor #TourismJohor #MuafakatJohor #VM2020 #MyDestination #SayangMalaysia #GayaTravel #CutiCutiMalaysia #MalaysiaTrulyAsia #travel #travelling #blog #blogging #bloggers #influencers #siennylovesdrawing #MyNBOS pic.twitter.com/whEus3ztXs
