now i know

in 2 weekends, i had 2 road trips. traveled across districts, states and country.

first weekend was from tanjung malim --> taiping --> perlis --> hatyai --> perlis --> taiping --> kuala kangsar --> manong --> tanjung tualang --> bidor --> tanjung malim. the road trip with friends actually started form taiping to tm.

second weekend which was just yesterday was from tanjung malim --> kl --> johor bahru --> teluk kerang --> pontian kechil --> kukup --> pulau kukup --> tanjung piai --> pontian --> pekan nenas --> kota tinggi --> kulai --> tanjung leman --> jemaluang --> mersing --> pulau tioman --> mersing --> johor bahru --> kl --> tanjung malim.

road trips are fun not only that we get to travel and eat but geography knowledge definitely improved. besides, the more i travel the more i know the more i fall in love with malaysia.

here are things that i dont know until my recent road trips :

- road to manong has this cool loop which reminds me of the maxis advertisement
- there's train called senandung malam express from kl - singapore (usually i only take express langkawi)
- kukup has international jetty and ppl ac can travel to indonesia through kukup
- the existence of pulau kukup and the mangrove forest in pulau kukup itself
- tanjung piai is the most southern tip of asia!
- pontian and kulai are not kampung like how the names sounded
- yummy noodles in pekan nenas
- waterfall in kota tinggi is charged for rm10 per person (tak guna!)
- the existence of tanjung leman and it's one of the options to cross to pulau sibu
- it takes up to rm200 per person to cross to pulau sibu (padahal its just 45 min ride)
- ktmb train's bed and pillow are pretty comfortable
- roads in johor aint bad to drive even though not a single lamp post and the roads are up and down turn and twist
- the absence of lamp posts throughout the road to mersing makes the moon and stars shine more brightly and the sky so beautiful
- food comes after beautiful sea (this is seriously unexpected!)
