Redang Beach

Redang Beach, originally uploaded by jonolist.

Redang beach is heaven. the water is unbelievably @#$%ng crystal clear, the sand so white it blinds you sometimes. Snorkeling is fun even when most of the corals are dead (damn overhyped global warming!) and everyone there has this "couldn't care less about what's happening elsewhere" attitude in them...a perfect place to relax.

I need to come here again maybe try other beaches in SE Asia like Pangkor, Danang, Luang Prabang, Phi Phi.....and bring my own snorkelling set or save up for a diving course...hmmm
but then again there's so many places i wanna go now, so many railways i wanna try.

In Melaka now with HG Jiayu and Jy. I'm shocked (yet again) at how much it can change since the last time i was there (8-9 months ago?) and change refers more to the negative especially the way melaka River is slowly turning to the horrendous beast that is what Clarke Quay has become....its quite sad. But still Melaka is place you should all go not just to eat the food (which is fantastic...gula melaka chandol...yummmm) or visit the sites but to meet people who are content in living their simple way of life, to experience an indescribable charm and remember what it all used to be all about living in a vibrant port city.
