Time is running fast, really fast. Just today, it is half-time of my time overseas. Some people asked my, at what time I’ll be back, so here are the brief details:

• Flight back to Germany: Tue 20.3.2007
• Back to Erlangen: Probably Sat 24.3.2007

Actually my internship is also over quite soon – Only about 4 weeks are left! After the attachment is finished, I have the huge amount of 6 weeks left, which is available for traveling around South-East Asia. Quite many people asked me, what will be on my schedule for that time – So here is an overview:

In February, I’ll do some multi-day trips to destinations such as:

• Hong Kong
• Bangkok
• Bali

Then it is time for Chinese New Year – So I’ll be back at Singapore to celebrate this with friends. So at the 22.2.07 I’ll head for a backpacking trip around Malaysia. Although no detailed plans are done (and never will – Because this is subject to daily mood and weather), I plan to visit the following places (partially visualized at the map).

• Mersing
• Tioman Island or Pulau Rawa
• Kuantan
• Cherating
• Kuala Terengganu + maybe Jungle tour.
• Perhentian Island or Redang Island
• Kota Bahru
• Penang
• Cameron Highlands
• Kuala Lumpur

To summarize: Getting around the East Coast of west Malaysia starting in the very south to the very north and then get back via Cameron Highlands and Kuala Lumpur.
