Whatfs up? vol. 2
Hi, 200 million supporters of
mine over the world,
Howfs it going, mate?
I'm currently in Bangkok. Kaosan Street is totally changed than
I've been 3 years before. It could be a little bit cleaner and heaps of tourist
here, especially naughty Japanese students. I'm waiting for the visa of Laos, so
spending bored time lately.
I got in Malaysia by bus from Singapore
and heading to KL which is capital of Malaysia. When I got into Malaysia, the atmosphere
was getting Asian countries and smelling as well. I love them. One day,
unfortunately I got an information of there is a casino out of KL. I have to
bet there, then was off to immediately. But I won't describe the result here.
Can you imagine by yourself, please?
Then I took a bus to Cameron Highlands where there are many sorts of
farms like tea plant, strawberry, cabbage and so on. It is quite cool place
because of 1500m high above see level. I did jungle walk with an OZ guy and one
day we visited the neighbor village for Hindu festival, which was crazy anyway.
Some Indian were sticked a long bar into their cheek from left to right and
walking with dancing heading to a temple. I couldn't understand this meaning
but which must be very important for them.
After that, I was off to Penang Island,
which is tourist place. There are many tall hotels and buildings. I hired a
motorcycle there but it was very hard job for me, because I can't read Malay
words and was stranger there. In addition, the air was bloody dirty and heavy
rain was coming suddenly in the middle way to town. I never try to do it.
Then I went to Thailand to call in Phi Phi Island, which is the stage of the movie
" the Beach". Of course Reonald Decaplio (I don't know his spelling)
came here last year. The beach is quite beautiful. White sands crystal clear
water, and strong sunshine. I did snorkeling and could watch heaps of tropical
fish and coral reefs. Moreover I could see Thai boxing "Muethai" there.
I spent useful day actually, but disappointed a little because this island was
quite touristic.
And I was up to Bangkok
to get into Laos.
Well, Lao visa would be ready this evening, so go to the travel agency from
now.
Ok, it could be time to say farewell
today.
See ya in Laos or
somewhere.
