cheers Ali,
I didn't know what to write first so I thought I wouldn't write about any of it! When I sat down I thought that it had been a boring year and I hadn't done anything....but sitting down to write some stuff made me realise all the places I had been and what had happened to me. Gathering it all up and turning it into some story is good for the brain and the self i.d., so thanks Ali for the website! Also made me realise that I should start collecting airmiles....

Nobody there believed there was anything there for tourists, but it was an interesting and inspiring place. I guess the difference is that you have to make the effort to discover what is great about a place... may thats the difference between tourists and travellers - a tourist expects a journey laid out before them, whereas a traveller creates their own journey... Deep.

Sounds interesting from a touristic point of view :)
Are travellers and tourists mutual exclusive than? Aren't we all both? Anyway enjoyed the blog, and enjoy Sibu before the hordes discover it! Actually all your blogs are pretty good.

now I am looking forward my trip
Hello Crashpacker, I came across your blog after getting annoyed at looking for cheap flights from London to Zanzibar (hoping to go in June to learn to dive). Whilst I found it funny I am so what sceard of travelling to Zanzibar alone. I have travelled to the America's and Asia alone but put off Africa as my parents told its not a place a girls should go alone. Although they also said that about me going to Vietnam! I best learn patience and how bribe if I am to survive. Can't wait to get there. Good luck with your travel,

Coconut relief
Haha, you should have stayed by those palm trees for your hangover relief. Coconut water is a great hangover remedy. Whenever I have a hangover I have a pack of Vita Coco and i feel much better.

On the trail of the snake hunter?!
Well, i had it at one of the nice restaurants in the middle of town. They bring a circular grill to the table and you do it yourselves. Its a bit of a traditional asian way of eating in a group. can't say it was the best meat i've ever had - ask around to eat it somewhere else. its river snake from the Tongle Sap lake so more like an eel really, and it may need to be in season. See if the 3d movie 'On the Trail of the Snake Hunters' is still playing at the back of the night market. Its much better than Avatar!

go!
but keep your head screwed on as you do and be aware of the effect you are having as you pass through the world. tourism is commerce, travel is exchange. Exchange ideas and respond to new things that come your way, don't stay in the rut. Spread your dollars and share your ideas. Find things that aren't in the book.

same feelings
I'm with you 100% in this. When I started travelling in the 90s there were no low cost flights. There were simply two ways of moving around: either flying and paying the (right) price for the sort of (good) service you would get, or travel via bus or train, far cheaper options those days, and move overland. Either way it was a worhty experience. The introduction of lowcost flights simply barbarized the art of travelling. Though, I'm afraid, they are simply another expression of the sad times western world lives nowadays. And I'm afraid -again- that eliminating the idea of lowcost flights would not solve the problem. They are merely a symptom of something bigger. Marco
