PORT DIXON, THE GOLD COAST & THE PALM OIL AND RUBBER PLANTATIONS, SEREMBAN, NEGERI SEMBILAN, MALAYSIA. Thursday 23 February, 2012. Having had a fitful night's sleep because our bodies are still on the English clock we arose fairly early at 7.30 am. We had a quick walk around the local suburb of Serembam called Kemayan Square where our hotel was located. We soon discovered that there was not much to it so decided to head for the coast to take a look at Port Dixon. We drove through hundreds of hectares of Palm Oil and Rubber Plantations and eventually hit the coast and some beautiful unspoiled beaches. We stopped at three of these and took some pictures and watched the fishermen up to their waists in the water catching whatever sort of fish they catch. The ... read more

(Day 364 on the road) I haven't posted in a while now, and there is a good reason for that: The past six weeks I have spent in one place, namely Port Dickson in Malaysia, a pretty sleepy and non-touristy seaside town about 2h south of Kuala Lumpur. I was looking to a) take a break from constantly being on the move, b) I wanted to play golf, and c) I wanted a place by the sea. I found the perfect place here in PD (as the locals call it), and have rented a nice apartment in a residential complex, complete with swimming pool, washing machine, satellite TV, balcony and on-site restaurant. The place is literally 200 meters away from the Port Dickson Golf & Country Clubon the one side and 200 meters from the ocean ... read more

Ahoy, mate...Our first adventure has indeed inspired us to see more of our world...at least of our country. Love for nature must not be seized from man's heart, but must always be there to accompany him, especially in his times of loneliness. Only the ones with the heart of a child can truly see nature, inside and out, appreciating and contemplating about God deeply, for Nature is the evidence of His existence. Enough about philosophizing everything, let's get down to business. This is the full report for our PD trip, 14th Sepetember 2007. September is indeed our month! Ilis' birthday falls on the 5th of this month, and mine on the 10th, and we hope our friendship will be forever blessed by Allah SWT and always be carried on with respect and love for each other. ... read more
