Malaysia

I summarise my stay in Malaysia. At the beginning I was sort of scared walking on the street, I read a lot on the internet how careful you should be, all the scams etc. Me walking on the street (shoulders, decoltee and knees covered all times) people continued staring at me and often they came up to me asking if I need a taxi or a bus. I was told to never go with one of those, even if I need a cab, I should look for one myself or ask the reception for help. I don't want to go in more details about this now. Just google 'how to behave in Malaysia'. There are not many European tourists in Malaysia, a lot of Asians travel their own continent, which is great. 

Cameron Highlands was surprisingly cold, but lovely. Once I went with a tour (CHF 10...) to visit tea plantages, tea fabrics, some viewpoints and more. I did that with a Dutch friend from my hostel called Samantha. 

Ah by the way we had a fun night the day before! We decided to have dinner together (Samantha & me) when we bumped into more Dutch people: Jup & Jop & Judith. We had dinner at an Indians place when a really black guy with splendid white teeth and snow white hair talked to us. He had no wrinkles, though. His name was Jon and he's Malaysian. He told us that he's been living in Germany for 40 years. He spoke fluent English with us, later we discovered that he speaks fluent Dutch, German and Swissgerman, too... That was amazing. So in total he speaks German, Swissgerman, Dutch, Malaysian, French, Spanish, Chinese & English. WOW. He was a really smart guy and we had an entertaining night with him telling us so funny stories... We sat there until late listening to him like little kids. 

Anyway, both Samantha and me had a good day with the tour. We had some meals together, too, but than I was glad I could leave the Highlands as there was not much to do. It is so easy to make friends, honestly! We did go along well but not as fantastic as I did with other people but still both Samantha and me were not alone and had someone to have meals with.

Back in Kuala Lumpur I went to another hostel. That one was very cool, in my room I had a bed with curtains, so good privacy! I didn't do much there, I read a lot in my book 'Gone Girl'. Ahh and I bought myself a book with Chinese symbols, to learn a bit. I can already write one sentence, the following means 'I'll go to Thailand tomorrow':

我明天去泰國

That sentence is a hundred per cent correct. I can not speak it but at least I can read that amazing language. 

Yes, now I'm at the airport flying to Phuket!
