Posted: 26-Jan-2008 19:00 9 For your information (I m not trying to discourage tourism in Malaysia here, ok). Last year a couple (white tourism, not sure from which country) came to Langkawi. The Islamic enforcer raid their hotel enter the room and asked for a marriage certificate s because they suspected the couple are muslim. Mind you, they are white (foreigner) and not asian, and yet they still get into this trouble. What I m saying here is, sometimes islamic enforcer and RELA in M sia can be overzealous doing their works and they forgot to bring their brain to work. catering holiday self wales

So, better be safe than sorry. ps: syariah rules apply to every muslim (no such thing about foreign muslim or local muslim), if the citizen allow, the islamic enforcer want all female muslim to cover all their body just like the arabs country.

oh dear you haven t got a clue about Arab countries have you, if you think that all female Muslims cover all their bodies in all of them. In actual fact, there s hardly any Arab countries where there this is the case. family holiday wales

The other Hawaiian islands - Molokai, ... - Thorn Tree Travel Forum - Lonely Planet

Has anyone been to Molokai, Lanai, or Kahoolawe I m mainly looking for uncrowded surf. Kahua Posted: 26-Jan-2008 07:59 Posts: 294 Registered: 08/02/06 1 Lanai doesn t have easily accessible good surf. You are not allowed to visit Kahoolawe Mignon Posted: 26-Jan-2008 08:26 Posts: 115 Registered: 05/09/02 2 Molokai does not have much surf either. At the risk of being a spoil sport, if you are not familiar with the area and only surf a few times a year on holiday, go somewhere with a life guard. Most public beaches in Hawaii have life guards and unfamiliar water can be dangerous. In fact based upon the number of rescues at Waimea Bay every year, familiar water can be dangerous too. Sometimes when you find a great surf spot and no one is there, it is not because no one knows about it, it is because they know something you don t. holiday riding wales

That out of the way, if you want uncrowded surf, do what the locals do: Go early (dawn patrol) and go on a week day. Posted: 26-Jan-2008 09:44 3 I surf all the time. I think there is too much localism in Hawaii to pursue this though. I ll stick to Central America and the South Pacific. ejpiii Posted: 26-Jan-2008 16:47 Posts: 1, 408 Registered: 12/11/04 4 3, it just isn t a problem midweek. And when the locals have as much money as westerners, the same troubles will hit the places you ve mentioned, its already happens in Tahiti and in places in Mexico and Uruguay. adventure holiday wales

For those following the situation in Burma who would like to support the protesters in some way, you can do so by signing a petition to be presented to the UN this week: Burma is ruled by one of the most brutal military dictatorships in the world. For decades the Burmese regime has fought off pressure--imprisoning elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and democracy activists, wiping out thousands of villages, imposing forced labour, creating refugees- accommodation holiday wales

But last Tuesday Buddhist monks and nuns, revered in Burma, began marching and chanting prayers. The protests spread as hundreds of thousands of ordinary people and public figures joined in, finding the hope they% lost. Now they% e facing crackdown % so please, show your solidarity to this movement towards reconciliation and democracy and sign the emergency petition supporting the Burmese people -- it ll be delivered to United Nations Security Council members and international media all week: holiday last minute wales

http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_burma In the past, Burma s military rulers have massacred the demonstrators and crushed democracy. The world must stand with the Burmese people at this time, to show the military rulers that the world will not tolerate repression and violence. Right now, global leaders are gathering in New York for the annual United Nations summit. In speeches, press interviews but also in real actions, we need them to show Burma s military junta that the global community is willing to act in solidarity with the protesters. catering holiday self wales

Disclaimer first: I ve never read On the Road , so feel free to ignore this. I d say it s pretty hard these days to come up with a rebellion that doesn t get mainstreamed and commodified before you can blink. I d also say that travel as a form of rebellion is pretty much dead - companies like Lonely Planet love to market travel as a way of proving your independence and otherness from the mainstream, but travel has really become just another status symbol, something you can purchase to give you more cred. Buy a big screen TV, buy a trip to Kazakhstan; they re both just ways of improving your standing with whatever niche you consider yourself part of (and proving it by showing you reject the trappings of whatever niches you don t consider yourself part of). adventure holiday wales
