I have now been in Malaysia for two weeks and started to get to know my new "home". I have already seen the Petronas twin tower, visited KL tower, been to china town, strolled through the streets of Little India and explored various shopping Malls (which are a big attraction here!).
As the first 'dreamer' having vacation, it's time to explore other parts of this amazing continent. When planning for my trip the biggest challenge was to decide on one or two locations. Given that I haven't been in Asia since I was a child, all countries seemed intriguing in there own way. So, I decided to seek a travel agent who informed me, with August being monsoon season, the best choices would be Thailand and Indonesia. He also updated me on the diving opportunities in the respective countries, and gave me some offers. At the end I decided to spend a week in Ko Tao (Thailand), where I would take my open water course, and one week in Gili Air (Indonesia), where I would go fun diving, as the island is known for having one of the most amazing diving sites.
With my tickets in hand, the backpack on my back and a big dose of excitement, I leapt into my first vacation ever, all alone! Not knowing what awaits, I sat on the flight, heading for my first destination, Ko Tao!
