The lady in front of me seems surprised presumably by my buying fresh fish and he explains something of which I only caught Duyong. Yup I stay in Pulau Duyong I explain in English pointing across the river to the little kampung island as LP would describe it.

We intended on spending about 3 days in KT however on the drive to our hotel we were already planning our escape. It was just a town nothing particularly interesting to see or do. We ended up spending about 1.5 days there not doing a whole lot although we did go for a walk around the http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/Malaysia/Terengganu/Kuala-Terengganu/blog-299415.html We moved on last week the Similans diving season came to an end at least the calm waters anyway so we joined the exodus of divers to the East coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The journey on the whole went pretty well being familiar with Malaysian buses which generally make National Express coaches look like cattle wagons we thought the journey would be fairly straight forward the last trip we ma http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/Malaysia/Terengganu/Kuala-Terengganu/blog-273726.html From the Perhentian Islands we took a boat back to the mainland and from there we took a a very packed public bus to Kuala Terengganu. We didn't have much planned for our time there but I hoped that we would get to visit Kenyir lake the largest man made lake in Asia.We checked into a mediocre hostel and enjoyed our first McDonald's in a long time Malaysia is a predominantly Muslim country and th http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/Malaysia/Terengganu/Kuala-Terengganu/blog-259606.html On March 9 Friday we flew from Denpasar Bali to Kuala Lumpur. We got in at around 9 pm after a few hours of delay by Air Asia and took a taxi to our guesthouse. We have about 2 weeks to tour Malaysia and could not decide on which places to visit. We thought we could visit Kota Baru northeast end of Malaysia and the Perhentian Islands and then work our way south to Singapore. The next m http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/Malaysia/Terengganu/Kuala-Terengganu/blog-142792.html right into an overhead post. I was pretty dizzy for the next few seconds and a little confused. Jen got me to sit down and when some poor old Malay guy came to see what had happened I started shouting at him Yes Do you see anything interesting. She sprayed so much disinfectant on my scalp that it was running down my face and into my mouth disinfectant tastes bad. I was talking fast ver http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/Malaysia/Terengganu/Kuala-Terengganu/blog-90746.html Hello hope your all well. We are in Kuala Terengganu at the moment which is one of only three places in Malaysia with a Malay majority so it's all very cultural and well Malay. But most interesting news first...we had our first trip to A E yesterday. Sam managed to walk into a bit of low metal roof and hit his head pretty badly. He was talking complete jibberish and shouting a lot so I inspecte http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/Malaysia/Terengganu/Kuala-Terengganu/blog-90743.html The last time you had heard from us we were in Jerantut. From here we decided to go to Kuala Terengganu a strict Muslim city for a couple of days as we had time to kill and we read that it might have been an interesting stop over off the tourist track on our way to Pulau Perhentian. Rather than do the jungle train that gets you into the jumping off point for the Perhentians at silly o'clock at http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/Malaysia/Terengganu/Kuala-Terengganu/blog-61417.html
