Asia

Over the June holidays my dad took our family on a holiday to Asia. We visited Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia. In Thailand we visited Bangkok and Phuket. In Singapore we were in Sinapore lol and in Malaysia we went to Kuala Lumpur. We went for 15 days, which is roughly two weeks.

When we left Cape Town it was freezing cold and when we got to Bangkok I just felt a massive wave of heat coming over my body. I almost couldn’t breathe!!!!!! It was extremely hot! We eventually got into the city and it was craaazzzzyyyyyy!!!! Nothing like I had ever experienced before, there are cars, scooters, people, markets and dogs everywhere! The cars the people drive there are just Honda and Toyota and they drive some of the smartest, new Honda’s and Toyota’s we have here in South Africa as taxis. The roads are unorganised and everybody just drives where they can get a spot (scooter, car and tuk tuk), they do however have lanes on the main roads. Everywhere you look you see markets. People are selling all sorts of things such as food, clothes, gadgets, mobile phones and various items.  The food, in my opinion, looks really disgusting, especially the meat! I don’t think it’s really the way it looks; I think it’s more the fact that the food just chills out in the open humidity the whole day uncovered, no ice or anything to keep it fresh. The people hardly sleep at one o’clock in the morning people are still selling stuff on the markets, the town is still very busy, teens are still going to internet café’s to play games and so on-it’s amazing!

Everything was really amazing and I definitely want to go again!
