Travelman in Malaysia: Things I saw on a bicycle ride on Langkawi

Today I was feeling kind of bummed about not enjoying Langkawi. I felt all traveled out, "Yeah, another beautiful beach, whoop-de-do. Another cool hostel I never want to leave, yay. "

"There's just going to be more of the same awesomeness tomorrow, and the next day, and the next, for the next year, ho-hum." It's really a weird feeling to experience. Every few days is a completely new and awesome experience... and what's crazy is it gets tiresome sometimes. And I'm only three weeks in! Don't get me wrong, I love it! But sometimes your mind throws you curve balls.

After enjoying all the groovy music the hostel owners were playing, and all the animals surrounding the common area of my hostel, I decided to walk into town to see the sunset and get dinner.

The owners and the animals...

14 seconds of animals...

On my way out I saw two old bicycles leaning up against a post. The owners are a French couple and it made me think about how many things they must have left in France and what they choose to bring or have shipped here.

As I began my walk down the drive, the owner was arriving on his motor scooter. He called out to me. He told me that I could use one of the bicycles whenever I wanted. This made me so happy, I couldn't believe I suddenly had a bicycle at my disposal.

He told me the island is safe and that I don't have to lock the bike up to anything. "If it's not where you left it, just look around because someone just moved it aside." He said, getting the male frame bicycle out from behind the female frame bike.

So I went off on a short and enjoyable bike ride! Here's what I saw...

People playing tennis on grass tennis courts. This was a big moment for me. This is the first time I've ever seen grass tennis courts in real life, as opposed to tv...

These kids were fishing for something in this pond. They may have been crabbing...

Here's a restaurant where you eat in your own gazebo by candlelight above the wetlands....

Here's another water buffalo and his little white bird buddy (at his hind legs). The little jerk jumped off the buffalo's back right before I took the picture. If Disney has never made a buddy movie about a water buffalo and the bird that hangs out with him, they need to get on that....

A big bad-ass go-kart track.
...

A bridge I thought made a couple nice pictures...

And the beach at sunset....
