The Perhentian Islands are a small group of beautiful, coral-fringed islands off the coast of northeastern Malaysia in the state of Terengganu, not far from the Thai border.

The two paradise islands of Perhentian Besar (big) and Perhentian Kecil (small) lie around 21 kilometers off the coast of Kuala Besut on the eastern coast of the Malay Peninsular. They used to be a stop off point for traders and merchants plying the waterways, hence the name "one stop island". The islands now form part of the Terengganu Marine Park and are home to many species of reef fish, coral and other marine creatures. There are several dive sites around the two islands all quickly and easily accessible by local dive boat.

Orchard Road, Singapore


This is the main shopping thoroughfare of Singapore, lined from end to end with swanky malls, punctuated with luxury hotels and office buildings rising to intoxicating heights. The pavement is a seething mass of jostling shoppers and tourists, whilst the road teems with traffic. From November right through to the New Year every year, Orchard Road is an extravaganza of Christmas lights and decorations so grand and brilliant that it makes Disneyworld look drab.



Orchard Road also has its share of nightspots - the most prominent ones near Delfi Orchard. Those with families - be warned - there are typically many hookers in the Delfi Orchard area. If you're uncomfortable with such scenes, make way further down Orchard Road to other nightspots.
