Journey to The Land of The Eagles

Beautiful Langkawi

I was in Langkawi, the land of the eagles, with firends last weekends. I must say, the trip was not as fun as what I expected. First of all, in the land of the eagles, I hardly notice any eagles flying in the sky. Well unless you pay of course.. then you get to see the eagles. :P

Where are the eagles?

Ok ok, Langkawi is the name of an angel who transform into an eagle and not really THE land of the eagle. Fine.. my mistake. Anyway, we visited several so called tourist spots, and the impression I got was not so good. Erm.. well, perhaps there is only one place that I think its worth visiting. Thats the Oriental Village, where the langkawi cable car trip that take you to the highest point ( I think) of Langkawi, is.

What about the rest of the attraction?? Hmm.. You deicide when you visit ok. Lets not let me spoiled all the surprises. Besides, fun or not, good or bad is very subjective.

Err... maybe I will just comment on one of the place, that is the "Pantai Pasir Hitam", literally Black Sanded Beach. The beach is not just dirty but it stink as well. What a waste.

Notice the close proximity of the fishing jetty

Definitely a no go place

I guess the local authority should pay more attention in conserving the natural beauty of the island, instead of just making the island a mere "tax free" island. Sigh... when will these people learn to look at long term benefits..

Anyway, is Langkawi a resort island worth going? You decide.
