Malaysia Thoughts:
This country was the surprise
one for me last time I travelled with the people still as
friendly, helpful and smiley. The East Coast Islands are just
as beautiful and remote and have still got to be some of the
best islands in the world to visit for that feeling of being on
a perfect beach, warm sea and being a deserted Island. Funny
though with still plenty of poverty around mobile phones “pay as
you go” is huge here now amongst all as well as young lads
moding their Protons!… Terry
I really enjoyed Malaysia for
many reasons – the madness and bustle of KL, plus the amazing
islands. Perhentian was just paradise for me and a place I
would go back to in a second. Desert islands don’t get any
better than this! The snorkelling right off the beach was
amazing. Also loved the Malay people, very friendly! …
