TRIP TO LANGKAWI

1. Nearly more than 15 years ago, that first time i have gone to Langkawi with a trip of schoolmates. But 3 days ago, i went again to Langkawi, this time with a trip of colleagues of ENT department of HTAA.

2.There were a lot of differences and development happen in Langkawi now.

3.I went there together wih my beloved wife and ly little son by flight. We were arrived at Langkawi International Airport at night. We were walking only few meters to the hotel.

4.According to a tourist guide who guided us along the journey in Langkawi, the name of Langkawi comes from combination of two words whereas Lang meaning an eagle in Malay word 'Helang' and kawi meaning from "kawi" as a type of stone usually can be found at the island.

5.Langkawi very well known with Malay myth of story of Mahsuri, a woman who had beed accused having 'zina' then been punished by the leader of Langkawi at that time.

6.Nowadays, Langkawi much different from old days. There become one of attractive place and tourism area among inside and outside malaysia.

7.We should not forget and to give a credit to ex prime minister Tun Mahathir who gave a lot of good ideas for development of Langkawi to become a very nice place today.
