Gulliver's Travels...

Yes, as the title suggests we visited a nearby island on Sunday, Jan. 23/05. (I'm not putting dates because I'm a stickler for details, but to give you guys an anchor with which to guage the time difference so you know exactly what I was doing while you were shovelling snow.) Loc organized a trip to "Pulau Hantu" -- Island of Ghosts. Legend has it that to fierce Malay warriors who had a bitter rivalry went to this island to duel it out. They fought for many days, turning the ocean crimson with blood. Jinn the god of the ocean became angry and using the currents of the sea he sucked both warriors down to the bottom where they perished. The other gods were a little peeved about Jinn's involvement in humanity's behaviour and thus ordered him to return them back to life. Well, as he couldn't put them back in their original bodies, he made them islands so that they may live on earth once again. -- We visited this island. We took a shipping service from mainland out to the island -- a beautiful 20 minute ride. The place is completely deserted, save for a few garbage bins, a sign and toilets. There is no other human influence whatsoever! There are 2 lagoons on the island, our group picked one and basically lazed in/around the beach for 6 hours (hence I look really Tamil now). Some germans collected fallen coconuts, and we broke them and ate them -- pretty good all-natural snack. The tide here is crazy! At about 3pm the lagoon had disappeared and only a bed of sand remained, the water had receded all the way back into the ocean! The boats picked us up at 4pm and we headed back into town to enjoy the rest of the day. I passed the fuck out for a couple hours...
