Adding Malaysia to Backpacking Tips Asia

Guess who`s going backpacking in Malaysia this summer?

-- Me and my boyfriend! Wohoo!

So, here`s the deal.

Three months ago we booked a 4 weeks trip to Kuala Lumpur.

My goal is to add Malaysia to the Backpacking Tips Asia this summer!

... I can`t wait to share new and exciting experiences with you!

Want a quick peek in our itinerary? ;-)

This is our temporary itinerary --

First we land in Kuala Lumpur on June 6 (2009). We want to snorkel and dive on the Sabah, so we`re going to take Air Asia to Kota Kinabalu.

We booked a diving class in Semporna on June 11th (FINALLY getting the PADI!) so
we`re just going to hang there for a while and just enjoy the underwater and say hello to the turtles and sharks. My boyfriend has never snorkeled or gone diving before.........!!!

In fact, he hasn`t been in the water for years! And jokes about moray eels that will bite his ass. But he wants to jump into the ocean with me, so he obviously loves me :-p

Then back to Kuala Lumpur and chill there for some time. We want some culture, so we`re going to Melaka and sample the Southern Malay food and visit some museums.

From Melaka to Perhentian Kecil (the east coast) we go! The Perhentians is our next stop -- it`s supposed to be a popular backpacker`s place so we have to check it out. Maybe we`ll stop by Pulau Tioman as well.

Then back to KL -- and get a new tattoo! Can`t wait! I`ve heard about this professional tattoo place located in Chinatown, so I`m definitely going there!

This trip means that:

--- I will not be able to add/update
Backpacking Tips Asia for 4 weeks!

BUT...

-- in exchange you will get to know Malaysia from a backpacker`s perspective, get the best reviews and the best photos (just bought a new camera)...

Does this sound amazing or what?!

Stay tuned!

Amanda ;-)



PS! If there`s a specific place (restaurant, cafe, tattoo shop, diving shop or whatever) you want to know more about -- I will research it for you (if I can find it of course)! :p
