This is it...leaving on the last vacation today!!!! In 2 short hours I'm off to the airport to go on one last trip, for a big ol' party in Phuket!!!! I'm only a little excited!
What's been up since my last post, well, I spent the weekend on the tiniest island, that I would like to rename Fish Island...yeah. After getting back late Thursday night from Langkawi, I met the gals at school and we hopped a cab to KL center to get the bus. They then informed me that the bus line we were using was the most reliable and had the lowest accident record...great! After a 3 hour ride that took 5 hours we made it to Lumut and ran over to the last Ferry of the night to Pangkor. We then took one of the oh so lovely pink cab vans to our new home, the Omback, which we shared with a family of ants and a giant lizard....you wouldn't believe the places we stay in Malaysia!!!! The weekend was good, but the island is only 8 square kms, so as you can imagine, in a day, I was done! We did the beach, scootered the island twice and beached again...I've never in my life seen so much dried fish, or smelled so much dried fish...I'm a little turned off the fish now! We did see some cool stuff while scootering, including a psychadelic temple with mushrooms and donald duck and a purple turtle, and a temple with a kitchy mini great wall of China....fun times! I'll do the pics for the last trips when I get back to the airport to come home I think....no time here!
And now, I'm going to shower in what I have come to appreciate as the best shower in all of Malaysia and then hop on a plane to Phuket...4 more days of vaca fun, and Friday I start the journey back to Canada.
I've come to discover that while I find Malaysia rather heavy and not a great place to backpack, and the what may be the worst bathrooms in the world, I love living in developing areas...my favorite places in the world are those that are somewhat underdeveloped...anyway, that's my realization for today, enough of that!
Off to get clean and fly away again! See everyone soon...Peace!
