Malacca or Melaka

I'm saying good-bye to Malaysia in Malacca (Malay: Melaka) as it is my last stop in this country.

Malacca (World Heritage City) is one of the most beautiful old cities I've seen in Asia. Not only was I stunned by the colours seen on the night market, by the crazy trishaws (with loud pop music) and the amount of people visiting this city (mostly Asians), but also I had a chance to eat the best chicken in my life :-) Where? In Famosa restaurant on the Jonkers Walk.

Langkawi - not a desert island

My next stop is Langkawi, an island located in the Andaman Sea (Northern Malaysia).

Someone told me that usually people unexpectedly extend their stay in Langkawi... Humm, interesting :) There is something about this place that stops you from leaving it. And actually this is true: all the folks I met there had not expected to stay on the island that long. Even me. I was trying to leave twice, more precisely. I couldn't. So at the end I stayed there around 10 days. You are going to ask me "what the heck were you doing there for 10 days?"... Well, surprisingly there is a lot to do.

Discovering Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur (KL), the capital, is my first stop in Malaysia.

Welcome to Singapore

What hits you when you land in Singapore in the middle of the European winter? Well, probably 30°C!
You quickly spot the difference between you and the "others": you are pale and you sweat a lot. But no worries, you will get some tan and you will get used to the heat.
Your Asian adventure is just about to start! Exciting? It surely is! :-)
