It is a glorious Monday morning..with clear blue sky and the sun shining fierily....it is still hot and humid as it has always been in this tropical paradise....of course it rain and I guess we would not love the sun so much had it not rain...it is the rain the make us appreciate the sun although the sun is always there in the tropic...it rises without fail on the east every morning, glowing with amber-read....soon to become just yellow as it rises above the horizon....and in the evening on the west coast it set as fiery as it rises in the morning....We in the tropic take it just for granted the existence of the sun because it is always there...... Whereas those in the temperate who are not that bless as us with the sun all throughout the year...craved for the sun and would take every opportunity to laze around and sun bath wherever the opportunity exist...In the tropics sun bathing has never being part of our culture.......It would look crazy if we were to lay down half naked in the sun...even with those sun lotion on....but those from the temperate countries would fly all the way to the tropic just to be able to enjoy the sun....We have plenty here and we love it and foreigner are always welcome to share it with us...Sun bath as much as you like.....together with the hospitality that are part of the local tradition....it would makes one's dream a reality....An island that has became a boom to tourist to sample the delight of the tropic is the island of Langkawi in the north of the country....there are now a regular flight direct from some of European capitals that includes London....Langkawi is a really a great place to be for it is full of legend and mysteries....its beaches are clean golden sand and the water around it is crystal clear and great to get wet wading or for a long swim.......Actually Malaysia is bless with great beaches all around the peninsular....the east coast beaches is awash with golden sand all through and are great picnic spots for weekender except during the monsoon period that run from November to January where strong winds would bashed the coast at time furiously and making swimming unsafe...other then during those monsoon period...the east coast beaches are great to swim and laze around to enjoy the sun........
