Zurich, Switzerland

Was being here first time somewhere in 1989, after left my stall burger. Was great to see other side of the world. Form here, have been travel with motorcycle to Italy and France. Then back to Malaysia and stay there with-in have been travel to every corner of Malaysia, and live in Batu Ferringhi by making T.Shirt batik at small shop my great friend, Yaakup & brother.co, but it is little difficult to survival, there for after some period, decide to be stay in Swiss. And as that, I start my life here... use to drive together with the motor on every weekend around Swiss, it was great to drive between the hill and the green forest. Zurich is the city where i live and its really a multy-culture city, a great city.
You can drive along the lake-side, like Zurich lake, Vierwald-statter lake,Thun lake or south to Tessin where the sun always shine or up to mountain like road to Davos and etc. It have been great experience to drive here, except when the rain are falling down, then you wish to sit inside the train, or just spend your time reading something.
Somewhere in 1996, start to travel around with brother Tabligh, mosque to mosque all around Swiss. There are more then 300 mosque here in, so with this travel, I not just see the beautiful so Swiss, but mingle with people with live in every corner of street. Many Ramadan, we use to drive old van and travel together in the most simple way, it was great, cost only little money but we reach every valley, town and city like Brick, Sion, Vavey etc on south west (France language part), Bellinzona, Lugano, Locarno, Chiaso etc on border to Italy (Italy language part) and all around German language part like Luzern, Cham, Buchs, Romanshorn, Appenzeller, Kreuzlingen and etc. It was great, may peace be upon it...

Lahore, Pakistan

Land which word "hei" was use in the end of word. Kia hal hei, nahi hei, tikka hei, bohot garam hei...etc. Urdu was a very beautiful language and even the writting is full with beautiful calligraphy. Here you can find big saiz of "Benz", buffalo which the saiz is double then in Malaysia and it product good butter "ghee". People are ok, and there have a nice brayani rice here but carefull for your weight, it so nice that will cost your more kilo to carry home. In the hottest summer, a glass of manggo juice is something that you will never forget.

Ipoh and all, Malaysia

It easy to travel in Malaysia and cheap, except those who running 5 star hotel to other 5 star hotel. Other-wise, in anyway, it`s easy to move around. Bus, train is easy to get and cheap hotel is every where. For those who spend time, masjid to masjid, their have the most profit (out 40days-cillah). Every where, you can find, great Islamic architect, Islamic art, beside other cultur also, their make a fine work here. For those who search two world in one pot (spritual and material world), this is the land of it. It´ is quite safe to say that, in Malaysia, even in the tourist area, the local people are strictly go behind their religion and culture without mass-up everything, and as that, is more nature instead just follow the materialism idea which have bad effect to many side of the world. May it keep nature and peace.

Sarawak, Malaysia

Once, if you are on the flight and cross east Malaysia, and as you look down through the window, you will see a great green tree giant jungle view with it river like a snake running between it. When I was small, somewhere around 70th, that time, to move one city to other, like Bintulu to Miri or to Kuching, it will be great adventure on the way. That time, the road is not like today. 1993 was travel from Kota Kinabalu to Kuching, was a lot of change. Bintulu, when I left 1978 was a small see-side town, but now, seem like I never be there. Somewhere Niah, will find the biggest cave in the world. Here, you will safely travel in the forest, except you go alone, then it your own risk.

Colombo, Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka and once the name is Ceylon, Island between east-west. Its a very beautiful Island, the only thing is because the war which goes on there between etnic Tamil and etnic Singalis. Will like to tell you that Colombo is very great city, it could be more develop then Singapore, if the war is not there. Anyway people are struggle to survive in way everything is not sure what will come tommorow. May it will always turn to peace. People are very polite and simple. Upper country, where the tee have take over the Europe market, under the Ceylon Tee name, are very great area and the climate are like spring time in Europe. It nice, I tell you..

Paris, France

Once was there, somewhere around 1995, that time, travel as the big-pack and stay at cheap hotel near Gare De est, as that time, I dont know that near there is masjid Ali. Was met with some street musician and spend time and play the music with them. But in 1998, was there again, but travel mosque to mosque, even to masjid Ali which close to Gare de est. Was also in the area of ghetto, where a lot of muslim from north and west Africa (less then middle-class) survive. A lot of youngster and most of them, can`t speak Arab language, althought there vater is from north Africa. It`s is great to mingle and feel the reality life there (maybe not to live there)
