I reached Kuantan on the 9th of July and will be leaving tomorrow for Tasik Chini. Kuantan to me is not a bad place to live in. It has what a city has, cineplexes, shopping centres, starbucks to online (hehe) and life's not too hectic here unlike in other Malaysian cities such as KL, Penang and Johor. The shopping centre that I am in right now has all the branded stuff than you normally expect to only see in KL but the good thing is that it's not so crowded.The place I stayed was quite reasonable, RM28 per night. However one thing I don't like here is the lack of dormitories for backpackers. I am forced to stay alone in a room which is something I don't like especially after my wonderful Tioman trip in which I met so many interesting and fun ppl.
There's nothing much you can do here in Kuantan town (similar to JB) and the only place worth
v
isiting is the national mosque in which I visited twice. Once in morning and once at night. The tourist information centre here is superb though. I managed to get a lot of information about Teluk Chempedak, Tasik Chini and Taman Negara where I will be visiting next.I don't know if it's because of the hiking I did to Tioman to Juara, I seemed to grow a certain fondness to walking and I have been walking around town even in mid day from one place to another. Walking on flat surface now seemed so easy to me. HAHA.
Anyway it's time for me to sign off, I am hoping to be able to walk to another shopping mall now where I can get to watch another movie before I leave for ulu ulu place again tomorrow.
Ciao

Lit han,
Hey, think you have forgotten me. I'm yap, SSD's friend. Still remember the pontian/ kukup trip last April?
Wow, can't believe you really quit your job, backpacking now! Trully respect your braveness and admire you. It's not easy for us to leave everything and do what we wish to, especially during 'the age of working', agree with it?
Anyway, wish you have a pleasant journey! Enjoy every moment in your journey. I'm sure all these unforgettable memories will be stored in your heart... forever!
Wish to hear from you soon. Keep updating your journey, please! Hope to meet you one day at any time, any place if possible! Haha...
Take care.
Best regards,
yap.
