Terengganu O Terengganu

Terengganu is a state on the east coast of the Malaysian Peninsular. Most of the Terengganu people are Malay, but there are some Chinese and Indian too. I visited Terengganu for a school trip along with my 6 other schoolmates in 2012. It was an amazing trip. We did a lot of activities. Our first night was well-spent in KL. The next day, we went to Terengganu by bus. It took approximately 6 hours to Terengganu from KL by bus. Well, of course we had stopped to a few R&R (Rest Station). As that was my first visit to the east coast of the peninsular ( I often go to KL only), I was pretty excited.

To be honest, upon arrival in Terengganu, we were brought to a beach, Pantai Batu Buruk. The view was splendid. It was magnificent that we took hundreds of photos. Thank god we did not take thousands.

Then, we headed to our homestay, the place that we call home for 5 days. The condition was okay. A room for 2. Not bad isn't it for a school trip? But I noticed that when I was in Terengganu, most of the people are religious. We need to use long pants to cover our aurat (the rule for clothing in Islam). But, that is not a problem. Terengganu is a state that has a lot of scenic views, magnificent beaches, beautiful island and the best of all, delicious food. Although Terengganu does not have many shopping malls or department stores like you can see in KL or even in my hometown, Kuching, but that is just fine for a nature lover, but not me. I can't. But there are places that you can visit such as the Terengganu State Museum, Crystal Mosque, Pasar Payang, Batik Factory ( we visited Noor Arfa Batik Factory) etc.

Well, it was amazing I must say. For people who enjoy scuba diving, it is suggested that to give it a try in Terengganu. Don't forget to eat the Keropok Lekor. It was the best that you can ever taste.
