Mega View Hotel Kuantan

During my travels in Malaysia I met a few people who had stopped in Cherating. They'd all described it as a sleepy beach town, but said that it was a nice, relaxing place to stop for a couple of days. They were right - it wasn't anything spectacular but it was an okay beach and a nice little town. I spent my two days there relaxing, reading, and chatting with people. On my second day I met Eva and Manya from Germany. Manya had been living in ...

... finish IN the pool and well it did...not that the guard was very happy about it ... had a lot of fun and definitely the best way to chill out and start the holidays properly! The next day started not so early...nearly throw the phone by the window (still wondering who asked for an early wake up call), and wake up just on time to enjoy some real breakfast...yami! On that day, we spent most of our time by ...

... evening they eat and eat and eat until the time comes when they can't eat again. We were given food and drinks at our arrival, for me its very bizarre to eat fried rice sober at 3:30 in the morning. I agreed that i would fast with the family the coming day so i drank about 200l of water, then at 6::30 we slept for about 4 hours. We awoke to possibly the hottest day i can recall for some time; the family said it was gods way of testing ...

... it - time to surface before the air runs out, i was surprised so little was left as we'd only been down for 25 minutes, but the extra exertion & depth of the dive all contributed - then in the matter of seconds - or so it seemed, my tank became empty, & i ...

... a lovely little fishing village, it must have had grand tourist hopes at one point as there are pavements half constructed, empty buildings waiting to be filled. But its a quaint little place with a huge windy beach, full of surfers in the monsoon. Everybody smiles and starts conversations with you wherever you go, and the owners of the chalet where we stayed (Mimi's, really recommended) even put on a free fish curry dinner one night ...

... les quelques uns qui parlaient anglais, qui m'on appris quelques mots supplementaires; toujours très utiles comme "manger = macam" et "boire=minum". Par exemple "eau potable" = "air minuman". Comme je connais deja une liste tres etendue au sujet de la nourriture cela completait bien avec les actions. Finalement Killian apres avoir couru deux heures et essaye des ...

... along the Kuantan, Peninsular Malaysia. We were taken photo under the hot sun and strong wind. <Relax with calm smiling> As usual came to Cherating Palm Resort, which resort was provided the bad service I ever seen. The dirty room entrance, dusty bed, poor island package with broken snorkeling set broken goggles. Well I was given the chance to getting mad during CNY. Friends! Please forget about Cherating Palm Resort ...

... there were no women customers) and I later learned what the deal is with them. They basically are there as company for business men types. They don't earn a salary but get commission on drinks that are bought for them. In my book that makes them sort of hookers and I'm sure if you wanted that's the service you could get from them too. The match was a disappointment - 0-0. In the second half they turned the sound off and I got an earful of karaoke which is ever popular in South East Asia.

... the guide took us out. We took a little river boat down to our camp site. We headed out as soon as we arrived to a 45 minute hike straght up the mountain. It was really hot, and there wasn't really a path.... Hiking through the jungle was so different that in Canada, because we were surrounded by palm trees. Our guide for the park was 18 years old and raced up the hill in front of us. In the park people are not allowed to roam around on their own, as their is the ...

... y con Steve, Angela y Vera jugamos unas cuantas partidas. Esa misma noche decidimos partir, al cabo de dos dias, hacia Kuala Lumpur, ya que ese fin de semana tenia lugar una famosa peregrinacion india... y o me lo queria perder, esa peregrinacion donde los devotos se calvan agujas y se hacen sangre y no se que historias mas... A la manana siguiente, hice el check out de mi bungalow y me fui hacia el cuarto de Steve y Angela. Despues nos encontramos con Vera y ...
