Slacker in Melacca Asia » Malaysia » Melaka
Melacca is an old ex colonial town on the west coast of Malaysia that overlooks the famous Melacca straights, a really important trade route since the 1400s. So as you might expect it has been controlled by various European powers - firstly the Portuguese, then the Dutch, and finally us lot! All this considered the town is something of a melting pot architecturally and cuturally. Anyway history lesson over! I am staying at a place called Shirah's Guesthouse owned by an Indian guys who calls himself Steve! We were greeted (Pontus and myself) with a beers and a joint and a [View Full Entry]

08 - 10 October When we arrived in Melaka / Malacca by bus from Mersing it was already late afternoon. We had checked the web beforehand and had already decided we wanted to stay in Chinatown, opposed to the area further down where most guesthouses are centralised. It takes a bit of searching to find something affordable in China town, but we succeeded and got a room at the Cheng Hoon hotel. Nice place, large foyer to hang out in or use wi-fi. Most evenings there were a bunch of 'old' Asian people chatting each other up in Chinglish with the [View Full Entry]

I am now writing to you from Australia!! Eeek exciting times! A lot has happened in the last week, and I will now update you on my recent antics! So making a swift exit from Penang before causing any more trouble we took what for us seemed like an incredibly short 5 hour bus ride to Kuala Lumpur. Here we would find a whole new level of heat! Just before we disembarked from the bus there was a typical short burst of powerful rainfall. When we went outside not only did the familiar heat wave hit us, but the puddles that [View Full Entry]

After almost two weeks of traveling here there and everywhere, we were good and ready for what awaited us off the northeast coast of Malaysia…. two glorious little islands, Pulau Perhenthian Kecil and Pulau Perhenthian Besar. A 3-hour van journey on Oct. 11 with a nice Canadian family and a 30-minute speedboat ride brought us there… to crystal clear water, white sand beaches, monkeys swinging in the trees, no roads, shoes optional and 5 days of beachside bliss. And, that’s not all! Each island has a little something for everyone and water taxis are the only means of tran [View Full Entry]

Yee Tea whe-hee!
Yee Tea whe-hee!
Preparing the tea
Pa to ni res. Pa to NI res, no! Vecer se je zakljucil na najbolj nor nacin. Z Yeejem in njegovo zeno (mislim, da Susan) smo sli za vogal na vecerjo: na fried rice in ying-yang nudlne. Oboje je bilo naravnost fantasticno, pa se poceni - castila sta kar onadva. "Small money, don't worry!" se je stalno smehljal Yee, ko sem mu hotela poturiti svoje ringite. Potem sva sla malo naokoli: najprej za naslednji vogal, kjer so snemali nek kitajski film (?!??!), potem pa naokoli po mestecu. Uau. Ce se mi je prej zdelo nekoliko zaspano, se mi je zdaj ta [View Full Entry]

Green Tea with Yee Tea Asia » Malaysia » Melaka » Melaka City
Zajtrk je bil trodelen: najprej dragonfruit od vceraj, potem pitstop pri mamak (jaz najprej roti chanai, ker roti pisang kao no have, potem pa z Edom se tose in cez ginger teh tarik), na koncu pa se kokos pri sosedih. Matr, v taki situaciji bi imela vedno dobre sosedske odnose. Ko sem imela vse spakirano in je bil Ed nared za sluzbo (danes grejo gledat lokacijo za snemanje, t.i. reccee), me je zategnil do postaje KTM. Bye bye Ed, bye bye Kepong, sem jokcala!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2009. Hari raya is one of the biggest celebration in Malaysia. Normally, muslim people will take long holiday to celebrate it. Including me. I'm off from TravelBlog for a week. Every year I celebrate aidilfitri with the samething. But this year was so special, because I go to ride the bot at night with my mum and auntie. With only RM10 per person, we enjoy our ride for 30 minute in Sungai Morten. The view at night was so cool. With a lot of beautifull light along the river, we can see the traditional Malacca house. Sorry [View Full Entry]

Fishy Feet
These little Doctor fish are giving my feet a quick pedicure.....and it feels luuuuuuuurvely :0)
OK - So I know I won't be blogging a lot when I get into Borneo, so I'm getting it in whilst I can. You all know i like to do things out of the ordinary from time to time, but just take a look at my feet in this piccy. The doctor fish nibbling at my feet are not only cleaning them, but they are nibbling away all the dead skin to leave feet feeling lovely and soft......and clean as a whistle....not to mention relaxed. Tara, if you get some of these in your fish tank, I'll never miss another [View Full Entry]
