Very awesome, I start my world trip here, In Malaysia for 11 days and 3 days in Singapore as backpacker and met with another backpacker. I want to share all of my trip stories and all experience I got. I hope u like it. 

14th June, I went to Malaysia and arrive there at 20:00.  The first time going to DiGi stand to bought a Malaysian Number, going to KL then found hostel to get rest. Go way by skybus just pay 3 RM to go to KL sentral in about 2 hours. In the bus not really quite, a chinese converstion form, and oldmate. Arrive at KL sentral but how stupid, taxi driver pick me up to the hostel and I have to pay 40RM, whereas he is Indonesian, If I just go up may be just pay 5 RM. It suck ! I arrive at AnjungKL guesthouse and pay for dormitory 35 RM (Dorm room/8single bed, AC). but 2 hours later, I have to move because the own hostel tell me that the room already booked, but he give me cash back:( so I move to i2inn and pay 40RM/1 room (Doublebed, AC, WIFI). I think its midnight and I need to get rest fast.

15th June, In the morning I ask Frank (Staff of the hostel, from Pakistan and as a satudent in Malaysia) how to go to Twin Towers and arround KL, he is nice. Then I walking went to arround KL and the Twin Towers in about 1 km from Bukit Bintang, but not go up haha, because too lazy to queue. then after that going to KL tower, haha good view, I like it. Because feel hungry and not get breakfast yet, so I bought my breakfast just 2,60RM, hahaa cheapest breakfast ever. Back to the hostel. And meet new friend (Yvonne,Germany, she is travel alone too) She ask me to join with her to go to Tioman Island, so I follow her, hahaa because we are same, single tourist. night, we are going to TBS to check how much the price to go to Mersing and the schedule Tioman trip, we were scared because we were went to the terminal in Midnight and we always think someone follow us.hahaha. We just pay 3 RM for return to the TBS by LRT. We back to the hostel at 11 PM.

 

16th June, In the morning 07.00 AM, very earlier with the heavy bag, we went to the TBS again and bought bus ticket to going to Mersing about 30RM. On the way go there take 4 hours. Arrived at Mersing, and walk away to seaport, far enough with heavy bag, hahaah. I bought Feri Ticket to Tioman Island about 75RM return. In Fery, on the way to Tioman island, we meet another friends, (Tobias, Josh, Chorine from Aussy) and (Alex and Mads from Denmark). Touchdown at Tioman Island in the evening, Me, Germany, Aussy looked for Guesthouse till 23:00 and we dont get it. All guest house already full. Damn!!! But Mads offer their inn for us for 1 night. Haha Thank you Denmark (Mads). There is no internet, we can get internet but have to pay 10RM an hour. And the stupidty all the people here think that I just a tourguide, local people and the australian just pay of my holiday here. Then I just said, hey Dude ! I’m tourist, I’m from Indonesia, they are just same with me as a tourist, I pay all of mine here by my self. I am educated, I come in here because knowledge not because pure of holiday. A little bit of bad emotion but I’m tourist I have to be nice. Sometimes I can understand what you say but I just loud of laugh because you are talking sounds like poetry. And may be you also.

Touch down in Melacca and don’t know where to go, where is the tourist destination. I just walk arround and back to the station again then ask the security. The security said that I have to gate 14 to go to tourist destination. What the bus hell going full, I almost didn’t get a space. Just pay 1 RM to go the place. This is real Melacca, I look arround and ask the pedicab driver [tukang becak] where to get a inn for tourist then he said go to the China town. Serriously, I like this place, Europe looks like. With a heavy bag find inn and I got one hostel, 50RM/night [TV, freeze, AC, hotcold shower] expensive for my backpacker trip but it’s doesn’t matter to change my poor hostel last night. So hot, make me lazy to go outside, I’m waiting till evening then go outside. I am going to find some food for my lunch but lucky, there is night market and some cadger’s sell all unique thing and cheap of course but the bad news that i just have a backbag and not enough for all things that I like. So the souvenir is just take picture of all. Haha what a pity..  In the night just stay cool at room and take a rest

I talk with own of guesthouse about Melacca, where to visit and she is very very nice, tell me arround buy maps, and recommend me if better I go to Ticket Travel first for buy bus ticket to Singapore because afraid will be sold because it is weekend. And certainly, this is weekend, I went there and already sold so I have to spend 1 night more here. I dont have no idea what I should to do next.

27th June

Here my last day of the trip, packed all of my stuff, haha over baggage. Check out then by Fast train go to Airport, low coast terminal or something like that hahaa, show my passport, stamp stamp stamp. Back to Bali \(^_^)/ my beach life. The end.

So, this is my umpteenth time I backpacking. This part, I had a trip to went to Malaysia. To add some experience, friends, and knowledge. I learn how the people there manage tourism, friendly with tourist, how their life, and why tourist come there. For accomodation, they have a good quality, the price and what you get is comparable, cheap, clean, epic, etc. Transportation, as a tourist, the LRT helpfull for me, Epic Organized (time, destination), and quite cheap/ cheap enough. except taxi, who didn’t use argo for mileage of destination, so I think Taxi is the last option to be a good transportation for ‘tourist’. For food, not really different with what we have in Indonesia, nice taste. Then usually they use English and Malayu as general language. Malayu I understand a little, hihihi because sometimes the word, accent I dont know what they say, hehe when they are talking, sounds like poetry and may also reverse. there a lot of people are chinesse, indian, pakistanian who livin’ in Malaysia and working there. and I like law system which applicable there, EPIC Malaysia is Epic

Melacca, here I was. Cheap cheap cheap. It look like in Jogjakarta for Indonesia. They show their culture, colours, history, and relize they have become a Tourism Destination. Proud of their creativity. safe tourism. I like this place, old city where portuguese were colonize, all place become full-functional to be a tourism distination, serrious with development of tourism is the reason why so much tourist coming here. I like souvenir handmade, they are creative, imaginic.

I hope I will go to another country very soon and get more than more experience as much as I can tell you about the trip.
