Cherating Holiday Villa Kuantan

... to come worth it. It was right on the beach, had 3 pools, and all kinds of outdoor recreation. Not that there was anytime to do much, but I did enjoy stepping out on the balcony and hearing the waves hitting the sand. Interesting enough, and something I've noticed about this place is the fact that most hotel bars or bars in general will have a live singer and people playing drums and guitar. On this Sunday night (this hotel is pretty far from anything) they ...

... cette ville a certains attraits comme son grand marché, son quartier chinois et son bord de plage très bien aménagé où il fait bon vivre…

Le marché est assez sympa mais on préféra ceux d’Inde où le spectacle des yeux et des odeurs y est plus intense. Ici ça sent surtout le poisson séché qui se présente sous de très, très étranges formes… Les fruits, sont peu variés en ce moment mais nous donnerons un 10/10 pour les ...

We had a thought- since we're in Malaysia, why not we tour around Malaysia when it is cheaper? And so, we embarked our journey for fireflies trip along Sungai Pahang in our hometown, Kuantan. It only costed us RM20 per adult and RM10 per children. We made a booking with LBC Sdn Bhd. (its office is situated if you're coming from Gambang, it is on your left before the bridge to Giant Hypermarket on your ...

... a squirel - like thing just jumped on the balcony next to mine (now I'm afraid what was going on at night!:) And yesterday, when I went to the beach I jumped into the water and looked around and was full of jellyfish! like 10cms big and quite cool looking. Luckily, I managed 2 escape without a physical contact! :) I've decided RIGHT now that I would like to go to West Papua haha! (I'm SURE!) cool .... beach ... simple things today

... Redang World Cup beach football competition when we were there too - all the hotels playing against each other - right on our beach each night, had some great fun watching it & cheering on the Pelangi boys - both Pelangi teams lost in the semi finals though. The ...

... to see the fireflies. It was very nice and I really enjoyed it. It is quite magical as it just appears like having christmas tree lights all around you !! The fireflies are on the trees on the river banks and you can get very close to them but from far you cannot see anything and it's impossible to take picures !! It's only for the pleasure of the eyes !! I like doing this sort of trips because you dont get ...

... la paupière ce matin d'un moustique ou autre. Ce soir, alors qu'il s'endort, çà a fort gonflé, comme s'il avait reçu un coup de poing dans l'oeil il ne peut plus l'ouvrir complètement comme. Je m'inquiète et je me fais emmener a la clinique locale en voiture a 10 km de là pour un check-up. Le jeune docteur l'ausculte et me confirme qu'il n'y a rien de grave ...

... about 200... Typical! So woke up 200 GBP, a camera and a phone lighter... Fortunately they were criminals with a conscience as they ditched the rest of my bag in a cupboard and left my credit cards, passport, plane tickets etc. SO it could've been worse!! We planned to go horse riding and wind-surfing today. That is now off the agenda... Instead Rat went to the beach, and I spent 3 hours getting reports from Hotel, Police ...

... way to get fit and active. Well, I've always love to skate and roller hockey has always been a part of my life so why not? Fortunately with some great pals and good food ( wow, the local cooks are superb! ), I survived 6 mths. One thing I learn is to make your own party no matter where you are and not sit and whinge about it.

We unfortunately missed the last bus of the evening to Cherating and had to spend a night in the grotty little town of Kuantan, the whole place looked like a council estate - it was horrible! There was absolutely nothing going on here, we couldn't even find anywhere to get a decent meal and ended up having a sandwich from a 7-11 ...
