(^22) Lumut
Fortunately, I love tropical regions. While returning from the shops, I
had a great time dodging monkeys that tried to snatch my shopping.
However, renting an apartment for a whole month was a bit
excessive. Before even reaching the halfway mark of the month, I
was already eager to leave.
Feeling bored, I cycled to Marine Island, hoping to go scuba diving,
but the shop was closed. Restless, I headed to the Mall instead,
where I pampered myself with a facial and later explored the Rahmat
Maritime Museum, a navy battleship that was a fun place to visit.
Lumut
The twin islands of Pangkor and Pangkor Laut are situated three miles
offshore. They are home to several fishing villages featuring
traditional Malay houses. A round-trip ferry ticket costs only 10MYR,
making these islands a popular destination for both backpackers and
domestic travellers. I, too, joined the crowds to explore the islands
and see what they had to offer.
Lumut - Bangkok
Months after applying for a new passport, the passport saga
continued. Only after I made a phone call to the Bangkok Embassy
did I learn I had to pay double the original fee as I had lost the
passport. Unfortunately, nobody had informed me beforehand about
this additional cost. Furthermore, I had to pay this fee at the
embassy itself. It's ironic how reality can sometimes be more
unbelievable than fiction. I hastily packed a backpack and hopped on
a bus to Bangkok.
