Kedah

Firstly, I am going to start with the state of Kedah.. When you ask people of this state and what to visit, people will surely say Pulau Langkawi...Before I explain more about the island, I will now show some of the other places to go in Kedah..

One of them is Pekan Rabu... This Pekan Rabu is a great place to go shopping and bargain hunting...One of the famous things that I know about from th

is Pekan Rabu is the Rojak paste..Its one of the most delicious in Malaysia..

Another one of the other attractions is Sedim River...here you can enjoy the nature of Kedah...Activities than can be done here are water rafting and also tree top walking....

Now, we will go to the main tourist attraction of Kedah, PULAU LANGKAWI...

This island is a duty free island..Which means haven for chocolate and cigarette lovers....They seriously cost cheaper there... So Langkawi can be reached by taking a ferry from either, Kuala Perlis, Kuala Kedah and also Penang...Here, there are a lot of attractions to see...The attractions are such as Telaga tujuh, Makam Mahsuri, Dataran Lang, Pulau Dayang Bunting and also the Underwater World...These places can be seen here, http://www.langkawi-info.com/attractions/10-things-to-see.htm

But on this island, since I've been there a few times before, my favorite place to go is the cable car and skybridge and also Pulau Payar..

The skybridge allows you to see a beautiful whole view of the island and is a must see attraction to me there...Great place to see Langakwi as a whole and also catch nice pictures while at it...Here's a photo of the skybridge...

The fares of this attraction can be seen here at this website... http://www.langkawi-online.com/pages/places-of-interest/langkawi-cable-car.php

Next is Pulau Payar..Pulau Payar can be reached by taking a boat from Langkawi and is a nice place to enjoy the sun, snorkelling and also see some baby shark feeding..Those who have never seen baby sharks can see them here, and be within touching distances...

Hope you can see the pictures clearly, and yup, the baby sharks are that near to you..Don't worry, they are harmless... So, thats all that I have for the state of Kedah...I will leave you with a video of the shark feeding and also a video of Langkawi... See ya~

White water rafting is an exciting thing to do with an adrenaline rush on the plus side... Its an interesting outdoor activity..

So, why dont you guys try this on your next trip...

Kuantan~

okay, this trip to Kuantan is not my second trip of the year, actually I went to Genting earlier but there was no picture taken. So, im skipping that trip and moving to the trip to Kuantan, Pahang

This trip to Kuantan isnt exactly a leisure trip, but can call it a business trip as I went there to submit and present my report. While doing that, who says we cant enjoy ourselves rite?...

So there, basically Kuantan is a city with a lot of attractions near to it. From Kuantan, it only

takes an hour drive to Cherating and a half n hour drive to Bukit Gambang Resort City. There are also attractions nearer to town such as Teluk Cempedak, Pantai Sepat, Tanjung Lumpur an

d many more. The city centre also provides a lot of places to go to have fun and eat.

While I was in Kuantan, I went to a lot of places with my classmates since this is the last sem together with them. So here are some pictures of the activities and location of what we did there.

Firstly, Bowling...

There are two places to bowl in Kuantan and we went to both of them at Kuantan Plaza and also Berjaya Megamall.

Next, we went to the beaches near Kuantan, Pantai Sepat and Teluk Cempedak. Teluk Cempedak is a commerical beach where usually people hang out all the time through nite and day.

Last, we went to Bukit Gambang City Resort, it is a waterpark that cost RM28 unless you use ur student card which will only be RM18. Other than the waterpark, there is an extreme park too.

Sorry, for the different sizes of pics, will improve on it later and this are pictures copied from my classmates. See ya again~
