Relax... Langkawi trip!!!

Haha... Happy'nya. is good to have a few days trip for relaxation, run away from all those negative feeling and negative energy that always circulating around me and also the busy, smelly and noisy city life!!! run into... LANGKAWI!!!

Langkawi is an island situated in the state of Kedah, north of Malaysia. Langkawi is the paradise of shopping!! Because it is all DUTY FREE!!! but things in the shops is about the same, where most of it is liquor, chocolate n sweet... this is because liqour is charge with high duty fees or tax in other places of Malaysia. haha....

Langkawi is also a legendary island in Malaysia. the story about the opening of Langkawi is associated with a giant eagle or Garuda, where the word 'Lang' means 'Helang' or eagle. in Langkawi, there were the story about the legendary of Mahsuri, a beautiful lady which death because of misunderstanding and she curse Langkawi to become 'padang pasir padang terkukur' which means 'sand island which is very worse in conditions' for 7 generations of Langkawi citizen. When she was killed, white blood came out from her body. Her curse come into reality when war were unstopable and the destroyed of the rice field in Langkawi.

Other place of interest in Langkawi would be the Pantai Pasir Hitam, The Jeti where there is a huge eagle statue which representing the Langkawi island, Kuah Town, Underwater world, Wildlife park, Crocodile farm, Buffalo farm, Tanjung Rhu with the most beautiful beaches and scene that i had visited for the past 3 days, Telaga Tujuh waterfall, Makam Mahsuri, Cable Car, Snake Santuary, as well as visiting the small island(s) around Langkawi.

This that must be buy here is batik which available in almost every stall in those place of interest, chocolate, and also liquor for people who like it in cheap price, due to duty free. beer is selling cheaper than mineral water and soft drinks.

For food, there would be various of stall and shop selling food, from eastern to western food. recommended is the island lover cafe and another chinese restaurant which situated in the middle of Kuah town, the food there is very tasty!! haha... but uncle is a bit weird because he not allow me to eat crab meat shark finn... he do not take my order for this dish. haiz...

what happen in here... you would be able to see different country people having their relaxing day here. we meet a group of people from guang dong, china. stating they thought that Malaysian only speak Malay. they get excited and feel weird when we speak cantonese (a chinese dialect) fluently. haha... meet a couple of western white who riding the motorcycle in the island. we meet them few times (the same couple) in a day, in different places. haha... we keep laughing when we meet them on the road... besides that, meet a group of young taiwanese who kindly take picture for us when one of them heard we saying to find people to help us take group photo (we did not asked them, they offer their help to us. thanks).

and of course, i brought 10 bottle of miniature liquor, 2 normal liquor and many of batik! haha.... by the way, a person who stays there for 3 days 2 night is only limited to buy 1 liter of liquor each!! miniature do not have limit as i told by the aunty in the shop. and of course, the one i buy is 1 bottle of normal liquor, and another one is those healthy drinking liquor (there were 3 type of it, and they were given special permission for this 3).

and the most funny things that i get to know is that the original El Senorio or knowm as 'takila' is actually have a cactus worm in it!! haha... aunty told me that those with no worm is not original liquor. original takila contains around 6 to 7 big worm in the kiquor bottle, which you can see in the liquor it self!!!!


Anyway... which people who visits to Langkawi to have fun!!!!!!!!!!! Good night!!
