From the 27.01.-22.02.2004 I was travelling through Malaysia.

Spending one night in Singapore I moved soon up to Melaka, where I stayed for almost 1 week, meeting many very nice people from all over the world (Colin, Warwick, Brenda,...). Many of them I met again afterwards in KL, Penang or Langkawi.
After one relaxing week in Melaka I moved on to Kuala Lumpur with Brenda from Belgium. On the airport of KL I met my friend Pauli. From now on we travelled together. We spent some very nice days in KL, visiting the KL Tower, the Petronas Towers, the Batu Caves (it was the famous Hindu-festival), seeing a chinese dragon dancing competition and of course enjoying the night life.
We moved then up to the north spending one day in the Cameron Highlands (Jungle trekking), a couple of days in Ipoh, where we met some nice malayian friends (Mara, Kevin) and had a superb evening in the Y2K pub and finally arriving to Georgetown / Pulau Penang, where we met again a lot of friends we knew from Melaka and KL. After two days we took a ferry to Pulau Langkawi. Finally we reached a place with nice beaches. It was like paradies: white sand on the beach, palms, sun and jungle. With motorcycles we discovered the hole Island and spent some funny days together with Erika and Selena from Italy. After a few days unfortunately we had to leave Langkawi and we headed back down to Ipoh (again an incredible night at the Y2K) and Kluang to reach Pulau Tioman, a small Island on the west coast. There we spent a few days relaxing in the sun and exploring the jungle and the underwaterworld of the island. The last station in Malaysia before we went to Singapore was Johor Bharu, the city in the south close to Singapore. There we did some last cheap shopping and had our last malay food. The last two days in Singapore were incredible: unlimited shopping, partying in the trendiest clubs of the town and just being impressed by this amazing city.
The 22.of february I left Singapore to start my next adventure: my exchange semester in New Zealand!
