Welcome To Malaysia

Hello everybody and happy new year!!!

I am in Malaysia. The country with food from heaven (or just simply from India) and the country with extremely friendly people. People who finally don’t want to rip me off (well, at least I don’t feel it), who chat and smile for free. I like Malaysia. Hitch hiking is easy and they have lush jungle.

My New Year Eve was unordinary. I finally celebrated it on the beach with a dress on top. No alcohol this time and real sober memories. Simple but unordinary.

And again we got some complications, regarding the health. Dom got a flu and my feet got an infection from mosquito scratch. All my life I scratch mosquito bites and I always get into the trouble. When will I finish my war against mosquitos?

So my feet got infected with all yellow pus coming out, ouch, nothing sexy at all. I did not care about it then. On a way to bus station it started to hurt me a lot, so Dom went ahead and I stayed on a road all crying like a little baby. And then, our magic friend arrived (we like to call him Prabakar, like from the book called ‘’Shantaram’’). He took us to the hospital, waited for us, took Dom to pack all our stuff, brought us to this secret little Chinese pharmacy where he insisted us buying some magical creams. Everywhere where he was going he was just chatting with everybody, he was like a king of this neighbourhood. Then he took us to this cool only local people place, ate with us and left. It was something amazing.

We went to the mountains, visited some tea plantations, healed our illnesses, chilled on a beach and now we just travelled to Penang island, where, according to many books are the best food of Malaysia. I am giving my word, I will test the food and let you know my opinion.

Very soon we will be volunteering, but about this next time.

Enjoy,

Islands Life

Hello my dear ones,

Wow. Can’t stop wowing. It is my new condition when I travel J

Since my last post some time passed. After Dom’s dengue fever we head for islands, sea and sun. And we found more than that.

Koh Phi Phi was the island on the way to go where we were planning. And what can I tell. Yes, the nature around is stunning, you really feel like you are a part of some amazing postcard. Blue turquese water, magnificent cliffs, sun, exotic food and so on. But the island is destroyed by irresponsible horrible drunk tourists. I was disgust to see what tourism can do. Angry locals (well, if bunch of drunk foreigners would come to my hometown with no respect to anything I would be definitely the same), rubbish floating in the sea, plastic, buckets of drinks, people selling anything just to rip off white rich westerners, drunk lost eyes of everybody. Horrible. Since ‘The Beach’ movie was released we are all looking for that unspoiled undiscovered beach. Few more years and we will destroy everything. Sorry for my negativity.

Moving on we did discover something way more better. Koh Lanta it is called. An island which has something very special about itself. The island, which doesn’t let you leave. Good vibes, good people and easy happy life, aren’t we all looking for stuff like that? We stayed here nearly 3 weeks and we will stay for few more days. We met amazing people, I got scuba diver certificate, life is good. Christmas is here and me and Dom made sure to be in a place where you feel like home. And we do here.

I don’t really care that much about Christmas but I wish you good time wherever you are.

Oh and about the future. When you travel it is hard to care about such a thing but we will be heading to Malaysia very soon.

Till the next post,

I wish you beautiful days with your loved ones!
