最近都在烦一件事 – 为Ed编排马来西亚的旅程。

Ed二月会来马。这将是他第一次游大马。

我这个所谓的地主和大马人，其实很没用。

我这十多年来都住在墨尔本，对大马旅游胜地真是一知半解。

我啊，有很多地方都没去过。

即使去过，很可能是十多年前的事。

我只知道游马一定要去马六甲和槟城，

还有，就是马来西亚著名的热带岛屿。

虽然知道东海岸的岛屿比西海岸来得漂亮。

可是，二月还是雨季，不适合去西海岸的岛屿。

剩下的选择只有Langkawi 和 Pangkor岛了。

我却无法决定，因为读到或听到的意见很参差。

有者说Langkawi 已太商业化了，有者说Pangkor的沙滩有时蛮肮脏的。

不知你们是否去过？ 意见又如何？

我们不在乎很好的resort或多样化的水上活动, 反正也不想花太多钱。

唯一想的，是在岛上好好休息，看看书，晒晒暖和阳光，吹吹清凉海风，走走洁白沙滩。

如必选一个，不知你们会选哪个岛， Langkawi 或Pangkor?

你们曾在二月去过东海岸岛屿吗？ 如有，想听听你们的经验。

For the past few days, I was busy with planning a trip for Ed in my home country. Ed is coming here in Feb and this will be his first time in Malaysia.

As a Malaysian, unfortunately, I did not have much travel experiences in Malaysia. I left the country more than 10 years ago, never get the chance to travel in my own country. I have not been to most tourist attractions. Even if I had, that could possibly be more than 10 years ago.

Fortunately, one thing I know, is to take Ed to Melaka and Penang. Also, to one of the famous tropical islands. I know the east coast islands are more beautiful than the west coast. However, February is still considered Moonsoon period, it is not recommended to go to east coast.

Hence, the only choices we have are Langkawi and Pangkor Island. Unfortunately, I can’t make up my mind because I have read and heard some mixed reviews. Some said Langkawi is getting too commercial nowadays, some said Pangkor beach can be dirty at times.

Have you been to either of them? What do you think?

In fact, we don’t care about the five stars hotels, and we don’t want to spend a fortune on it anyway. We are not water sport fans either. All we hope for, is to be able to relax and read on the beautiful and quiet white sand beaches.

If you have to choose one, which would you go – Langkawi or Pangkor?

Have you been to east coast during Feb? If you did, what was your experiences there in Feb?
