Travel Tips
hmm
he Perhentian Islands (Kecil(small) & Besar(big)) are so worth the effort. Crystal clear water, no bikes, no roads, no hassle. The perfect place to wind down for the travel weary! Might get pretty busy though so there before the rush! We snorkeled with sharks, turtles and massive parrot fish. Take some rum with you if you like a drink and remember there is no ATM so take plenty of cash. By fleego on July 30, 2008

DID YOU KNOW?
Food
Definately one of the highlights of this country and safe to eat. You may have some trouble the first days if you are not used to spiciness of some of the dishes (but not all). But stories of food poisoning are rather rare. So go out try the hawker food and explore. It’s really good. And don’t you dare going to fast food chains… okay, one visit after every 10 local dishes is okay |
