Hi Donald, if you are into history I would suggest all the museums and palaces in central Kota Bharu i.e. Istana Jahar, War Memorial, Bank Kerapu to name a few. For a taste of culture you could visit their Cultural Centre, I heard they have a lot to offer from Wau making, shadow puppet to Mak Yong every now and then. Or the best is to head to their colorful central market (Pasar Siti Khadijah), which mostly run by women. Apart from the typical wet market stuff, you could also find the local delicacies – nasi kerabu, laksam, ayam percik, their sweet ‘kuih’ and fish crackers. Other than that you could also visit the many buddhist temple (pls refer to my blog on Tumpat) or shopping at the duty free complexes in Rantau Panjang and Pengkalan Kubur.

Hi Adrian, welcome to my blog. No need appologizing, really. As a matter of fact, I love crash visitors!
Thanks for the hospitality while I was in KB. Sorry for the misinterpretation of the town, it was just my observation at that point of time. And thanks to Khairul Fahmi Che Mat now I fall in love with ~~him~~ football!

Cheers,
Niza

Thanks Janet for your comment . I quite agree with you, some of the declaration are a bit exaggerated and foolish. Well I don’t intend to follow all of it, but at least the more realistic one are the fundamentals that I apply when seeing for things. It’s kinda an approch to see ‘out of the box’ instead of looking from the same angle as other tourists. Yeah, I’m still not good at it, but I’m working it out.

For your comfort, I still prefer staying at a decent, comfortable hotel and scrumptios meal rather than embraces hunger and hallucinations and shit hotels. I don’t scorn daredevil that have courage to enter Afghanistan, I think they are awesome (my mentor is one of them). Thus I believe, the last declaration is totally me. Cherio!

I love your photos, but your ‘faith’ ala the shymkent declaration is stunted and class-bound, promotes rebellion, ultimately a closed eye.
