Langkawi - Land of duty free!
Well me and Nat left penang and boated to this island just south of the Thai border. It is called langkawi and it is a duty free island. What does that mean one might wonder? Well my friend, itmeans that a flat, yes 24 beers, cost me 12 dollars canadian - not that I would buy such devilish things, ever. We have this bungalow that opens up right on to the fricken beach! it is so sweet. plus there is a beer fridge inside the hut - not that I fill it with beforementioned devilish stuff, ever. I haven't been able to go swimming yet because my toehas been oozing juices only the flies seem to enjoy. But the flow has stopped considerablyso I will try my luck today. Now on to my story....
So we rentedmotorbikes, because, well, I am so damn cool - and Nat just does what i do. From this point on I will just talk using I, not we or us, because I am the boss. So I rip down the highway to go to this cablecar (gondola) lift that has one of the most vertical climbs EVER (42 degress). I even got my bike up to 110 Km/hr. This kicks ass because I just learned to ride a bike a month ago.
So after we, I mean I get there, you stare at this enormous lift going up into the mountains. This village is beautiful with a pond in the middle and shops surrounding it. For 5 bucks (15 Ringgit) you can jump on the cablecar. It's about a 15 min ride, with a stop at a middle station. The car travels over a kilometer and you end up over 700 meters above sealevel. The view is quite amazing. 360 degree view of the island. At the middle station you can pay 2 ringgit to get your picture with a Python - so i did, and looked like an idiot holding the thing. Ihave many pictures off the cablecars and that day's events. I will post them next time I find a place that can read camera memory cards. So after the ride back down, a quick 2 dollar lunch and a motorbike back home (I hit over 120 km/hr on the way back - don't tell mom). Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Onthe way back 5 monkeys were just chilling roadside (litterally on the road) so I stopped and the posed for me.
I am now here on the internet, taking time away form the sun and san and water, to write to my dear family and friends - not to brag and gloat, but merely to humbly inform everyone of my goingons. I hope you enjoyed it.
Sincerely,
Tyler McNair Stringer
PS suckers!

Yes TAYlor :) you are such a nice Canadian Guy to let us know how full of sun, sand and water is down there, while we are freezing. But hey, it is the only one right thing to do for you right now: ENJOY!
rachel,
"Interesting" as in 'he's rerached a new point of sexy that no one has ever achieved-sexy' or "interesting as in 'i think he smells like fish-sexy'??
Petra,
Well, I did have one bad thing happen to me here - actually almost horrifying. It took 5 minutes instead of the usual 4 for my pancakes to arrive this morning. I know, i know. The average person would just about die. But I'm a trooper and sucked it up. Aren't you impressed?!?
Ow, this was really a disaster! After this you just must go home immediately... I
really don't know how are you handling all this. Hang on, you will be soon in
Canada. :P
True, Brad definately isn't a proud man, but we love him nonetheless.
I"ll check into Cd's - the have shitloads and some that they just make up; like Avril Lavigne Greatest Hits even though she's made 2 albums.
Oh, and Pita and Pika would both taste good with tzatziki.
