Weekend on Perhentian Island in Malaysia

---

I decided to go to Perhentian Island for some sun and sand. This island is found on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia in the South China Sea. Ahh-so beautiful! It took 2 plane-rides, 1 hour of taxi and 45 minutes of boat to get to this island.

I am happy to say that this is where I completed my 100th dive! Apparently, tradition among divers is to celebrate this all important milestone by diving naked! But I am prude- what can I say and so decided not to follow through with this tradition 😉

The dive crew were very gracious about my decision and instead, they invited to my very first full-moon party! I was so lucky to have accidently fallen on this annual event! No, I did not get lost from my group because there were too many people and I didn't have to walk over drugged up passed-out bodies on the beach. It was smaller-scale local one and it was cool. We were drinking Orang Utan a.k.a. monkey juice alcohol and danced danced danced.

Very nice weekend indeed.
