I think next time when I want to travel alone I must say I have a boyfriend or I got married so that I can reject too much trouble. Guys are always interesting with the girl who is single and alone, I think.
And, book all the cheap flight first if I confirm my schedule. Also, bring a small blanket if it is possible. Some guest house didn't offer blanket, I had to rent it.
hum.....travle is education.

the last day of journey
because some stupid thing we did today, we arrived at singapore at about 9:00pm, holy shit!
We stay in InnCrowd which located at Little India in Singapore. This street has a lot of bars and food stands. It' s a good place in night but I think it is not a good location to sleep for one night. well...it's ok since for only one night.
yesterday we were in KL, which is a crowded, dirty, noisy, horrible city. I was struggled in traffic jam for 1.5hr. It only took 30min by walk but it was rainy at the moment so that we took the city bus and the traffic just drove me crazy. I think I won't go to KL anymore. The city is under my skin and I am frustrated with that city. When I arrived at Singapore tonight I almost yelled out. I leaved KL finally. God bless me.
The last night of the journey, had a big meal again. We just try to spend all the money out.
= = which means we waste the money as possible as we could. The total cost of this trip is about NT28000, included the flight ticket and all the hostels.

something forgot to say
it is about the Korean girl told to me" feel lonely in the night. "
the reason is that " people passed by"....u will talked to many people during the travel and may took photos together or change ur email and had a good time. Nevertheless, all the people were just passed by. The korean girl and I both had the same feeling.
This did really make people lonely. It is just a feeling that u belong to nothing.

Penang and Lankawi
After Kuala Lumper I went to Lankawi for 2 days. Lankawi is surround by 99 islands so that make it very beautiful and splendid. I like the view that many small islands are just opposite the beach and the sea is peaceful. Though Lankawi is famous for sightseeing and has many five star hotels now, it still remain the originally life type of Malaysian. The farm, the tree, the fish farm, the people, all are just like the small country in Taiwan. This is also the reason why I like this island so much. I swam there, enjoyed the beach and the sunshine, talked with local people and had lot of fun there. I think I will go back to Lankawi someday.
Now, I am in Penang, the other island which is 2.5hr away from Lankawi by ferry. Not like Lankawi, the majority of Penang are Malaysia Chinese and Indian. The China Town is just next to the Little India. You can find chinese food and India food on the same street. Awsome. I feel lazy to go sightseeing today so I just went to the Penang Hill, which is the highest hill in Penang(700M), and stayed at there for 4 hours. It was quiet a long time because there was nothing to do and bored. I had a luxury lunch(327NT), read the novel and talked to people.
I talked with two Korean sisters and one said that last year she traveled along for 2 months and felt lonely in the night afterwards. I think I just have the same feeling now, I thougt it was because of homesick but actually not.
In Penang I went to vist the Islam Mosque twice, one is yesterday night and today afternoon and I met two Indian Muslims. The first one talked a lot about Islam and the diff. btw Buddish and Christian and Musliam. In his mind the Islam is the best. The other guy was pleased to show me around and tour for me however his final perpose was asking me for donating. He said he look after the Mosque and buy food for Muslims and asked me to give him money so that he can buy them food. well......bullshit. I think not all the Muslims are like him but I don't like this behavior at all. Asking the money for turistors and then gone away....what's this on earth!!!
I didn't go to the beach in Penang. It's too far away from my hostel and I think the beach in Lankawi is good enough for me. Compare with Lankawi and Penang, I think I will go back to Lankawi more and more times but Penang....hm......
so sorry for my poor Eng. sigh....

someidea about the trip.
I found there have many benifits as a girl when travel. people feel like to talk to u and do u a faver. However, it's also dangerous.
I don't know if people just feel like to make new friends or to acquantent someone from other countries or something~~~but everytime I just feel those guys were somehow horny that made me feel uncomfortable. Though it is good to talk with others......sigh.
I must learn how to protect myself. It would be a big problem in the future.
I like Malaysia except Kuala Lumpur. But now I feel a little bit homesick and tired. I don't know if it because I was exhausted or just feel boring with this country because all the same things. Is 14 days too long for me or for this two countries? I have no idea.
What is travle for me? I still don't know it exactly, maybe it is just looking for something and then waitting for something happened that is beyond my imagination. I don't know. I still looking for the answer and keep walking. that's all.

The eating paradise.
因為這裡的食物實在是很便宜,在麻六甲吃了satay. 有點類似涮涮鍋的東西, 但是他的湯是沙茶醬+花生+芝麻等等下去熬的,是好吃到讓人肥死也甘願的東西. 兩個人吃了一桌, 竟然只要96 塊台幣, 若是在台灣吃至少也要兩百塊左右吧. 因為太便宜的關係, 所以整天都在吃東西, 不知不覺就胖了很多, 臉都圓了一圈. 幸好每天都走了很多路可以消耗一點熱量,否則還真害怕回台灣後沒人認得出我來.
旅行了七天,吃過印度料理,中華料理,馬來食物等等. 最後發現還是china town裡的東西比較好吃,果然華人是民以食為天,china town的食物總是特別便宜又大碗. 但是, 印度料理真是非常深得我心啊! 吃了印度的煎餅, 一個約60台幣,份量大概是台灣蛋餅的五倍大,裡面包著羊肉,天啊,好吃極了.但是吃完也快吐了,非常非常的飽,實在不該在晚上十一點吃那個東西的,吃完有極大的罪惡感. 在吉隆坡吃的印度餐也好吃極了,只是有一點點辣,這裡的人偏愛吃辣,若不吃辣的來到這兩個國家,可能會有點無我適從吧!
有華人就有美食,同時也伴隨著髒亂. 新加坡是個非常乾淨,井然有序的地方,唯獨在中國城附近,還是可以看到隨地吐痰,亂丟垃圾的華人. 而馬來人或是印度人因為她們信仰的關係,相對的比較潔身自愛,不像華人這樣的隨心所欲. 難道,華人的劣根性是天生的嗎?
在麻六甲的晚上,在民宿裡遇見了老闆的兒子跟他的朋友,一個是馬來西亞黑人(or印度人)葡萄牙裔.一個是馬來西亞黃種人,葡萄牙裔.另外一個則是馬來西亞華裔. 這三個人形成了非常奇妙的組合,那個黑人唸華校,所以會說華語. 那個華人會說華語,但沒有很會說. 另外一個華人只會說幾句華語,但會說葡萄牙語. 這個國家的人們,大多會說四種語言,真是令人羨慕,雖然我偶爾聽不懂她們的英文,但是so what....在這個信徒的國度 ,你只要肯說,就有人會董你的語言,廣東話台語國語英語馬來語等等..... 在不然,阿拉或是印度神祇或是天父或是菩薩....總有人會懂得.

the second day in KL
Now I am in Kuala Lumple and waiting for the bus to Camaron Highland which is a place like Los vagas. Here KL let me feel it's a strange and wierd city. Traffic jam all the time because people here don't like to take public bus or MRT. People think it is more convenient to drive themself so that it make this small city crowded more than Taiwan.
I took the MRT yesterday and it is amazing. Amazing old train cabnit and amazing slow speed it was. It was slower than the lowest train in Taiwan. No wander people doesn't like MRT here. However, the bus system is good and convenient and very cheap. Just NT20 and you can take the bus all day long to everywhere you want just if the bus route can arrive there. How gorgeous!
Yesterday I met two black guys from South Africa in the guest house, one of them is Soccer Coach who came to here for the Asian Cup. He said that " Travel is education." I cond't agree with it more. In Singapore and Malaysia are the country which mix all the racials and languages. You can see Indians, Malays, Chinese, Arabs, white people, Portigues.....etc. People are kind to everyone and feel love to help others, though you speak diff. languages.
How could a country bear so many racial and cultures at the same time and lead a peaceful life? I still find the answer now. The diff. cultur here crash me and beat my deep heart. I think I will back to Malaysia in the future.

the 2nd day in Sig.
The first night in Sing. was terrible and awuful. The mala area was noisy and also some of the backpackers.
Before I came, I just thought all the backpakers will be polite and respect others, but now it seemed not.
The sleepy sam's was not a good place to stay. It's dark and noisy, but cosy.
well, I feel like to diherra but I can't, poor me.
sigh, it's raining outside. we can't go everywhere except stay in the hostel.
in the morning. 7/07
---
tired. I had broken lag now, I think.
去了兩個要走路走到鐵腿的景點，分別是動物園跟鳥園，開放式的園區，都不知道是去看動物還是被動物看了。逛著逛著，不禁拿台灣與新加坡比較，若台灣能夠有人家規劃的一半完美就好了，就不用擔心沒人去逛動物園，只需擔心人潮太多。
晚上又是漫無目的亂逛，逛了敗家必去的地方"烏節路"，看到邦喬飛的新專輯，埃 只能告訴自己千萬要忍住啊，不要亂花錢。新加坡的美食沒有想像中的好吃，還是說我沒有吃到好吃的呢？
結果最棒的是今晚看到的小攤販，土司夾冰淇淋，只要一元新幣，how wonderful.
明天，又要繼續以食物為中心進行旅程了，希望今天能夠睡得好，不要再有人講話、聊天、大聲吵鬧等等的，完全破壞了我對歐美背包客的印象。兩天沒睡的精神折磨，不是每個人都能忍受的啊。
話說，我真是越來越喜歡印度人了，和善又有趣，good.
