Shopping in Langkawi: 

I would strongly recommend shopping in Langkawi. Langkawi is a duty-free zone.
Drinks and chocolates are significantly cheaper (almost half) here than in the rest of Malaysia.

Eat in Langkawi:

Seafood 

Best place to try out different seafood. Very fresh and yummy. Try King crabs for sure.

There are few pure vegetarian restaurants available in Langkawi.

Travel within Langkawi:

There is no public transport on the island. Best is to use taxis or to rent a car. All taxis run with flat rate for each destination(No bargain! ) In nights, generally double charge.

Fond of Biking? Of course, you can rent bikes too J

Stay:

Staying in chalet type accommodation is very nice. This gives you more privacy. Also, these chalets are all located mostly facing beaches, so you can wander around the beach late in the evening and come back safe to the hotel.

Few notable beaches: Cenang Beach(Sunrise/sunset) + Tengah Beach, Datai Bay.

I came in the Month of August, Most pleasant time to travel in Europe. With chirping Birds, blossoming aromatic flowers, fresh Asparagus Spring is always beautiful in any part of the world.

I came to Europe for 7 days. Stayed in Munich for 4 days and Paris 3 days. Let me try to cover Paris in this Blog. I travelled along with my friend. His travel plans are always “More with Less” Concept. He always plans so many places for a single day and he makes sure that we don’t run out of places to see.

In my lifetime, this trip is very special. I can’t ask anything more from this trip: Love, affection, Excitement, Astonishing moments, walking, admiring, food and finally good sleep.

Firstly we took a night bus from Munich to Paris. We reached Paris early in the morning and we straight away went to hotel for check-in. The Hotel was very close Eiffel tower. At around midday, we left the room and we say the real face of Paris: Eiffel tower, Stunning Engineering Marvel of our time.
