I could waffle on for ever about how wonderful LP is but as pictures are worth a thousand words I will simply offer mine and if should you want more then search in Google images. Although my first hostel here was unbelievably cheap (6 euros per night including breakfast) it was infested by a lot of loud and inconsiderate American youth which, combined with compacted straw mattresses, resulted in my not sleeping for 2 nights ... however I have now found a charming guest house room for 15 euros per night which is ensuite and has a comfortable mattress ...needless to say i have already been out on a bike and city cycling here is just as thrilling as in Taiwan!
I first became interested in South East Asia, especially Malaysia, when I read Somerset Maugham's short stories based upon his own experiences of travelling in that region in the early 1900's. Having spent the last four years living like a hermit in France, the need to go out and travel became ever more attractive and SEA seemed like an obvious place to go. When I was told about Workaway and cheap backpacking Hostels the possibility of travelling on a very tight budget became a reality.
