Redang Island – What the almighty spaghetti monster created for himself
Written by Christian Haugen on May 16, 2009 – 8:57 pm -Hiza decided to join us for a roadtrip up to Redang by slumming it a bit and taking the bus, backpacker style. Way to go Hiza! For those of you who haven’t heard of Redang it’s an island on the north eastern side of Malaysia. It’s reknown for luxurious and expensive resorts, but as we had forced Hiza in on a budget she had found an excellent budget option in Wisana.
The view from our chalet
We took an overnight bus from Kuala Lumpur, but the bus driver was a regular formula-1 driver and got us there really early. This meant that we had to wait in the Terengganu bus station for several hours untill our ferry left. If we were not travelling on a budget I would have gone by plane, as the wait in Terengganu is long. As we arrived at the ferry stop it was pourin down, and the chances of a vacation in the sun seemed slim. By the time the ferry arrived the rain had stopped and the further out to sea we went the less clouds we saw, and the sun god was once again smiling down at us. It was tanning time!

Big city life in Kuala Lumpur
Written by Christian Haugen on May 13, 2009 – 1:00 pm -Kuala Lumpur had been one of the destinations that had been fixed for a while. Ever since Hiza visited Eli and me in Norway, and experienced a proper Norwegian summer, we wanted to come visit her in Kuala Lumpur. And she was right there at the airport waiting for us with her own car! Woho! Not a taxi, bus or anything that required reading a map, explaining or haggling for a price.. She was set and ready to drive us back at her place, awesome! It’s weird what small things you miss when out travelling, a friendly face waiting for you at the airport is definently one of them 
Karl Kristian was meeting up with his girlfriend Anfrid in Kuala Lumpur, so it was time to split knowing that we would meet up in Singapore in not too many days anyway. So as we got into Hiza’s car, and Karl Kristian went to find a bus, our Malaysian adventure began.
