PORT DICKSON (2014)

Before reaching the place, I thought that PORT DICKSON is a NAVAL CAMP...

But I was entirely wrong...
PORT DICKSON is like a MUNICIPALITY of MALAYSIA...

It was a COMMUNITY of beautiful beaches and other interesting places...

It was actually PALM SUNDAY when we arrived at the KUALA LUMPUR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. We had a quick burger meal in the airport and took a CAB and proceeded to the MALAYSIAN PEACEKEEPING CENTER (MPC) in PORT DICKSON.

From MONDAY to FRIDAY of the HOLY WEEK of 2014, we were in the classroom at MPC from 8am to 5pm with coffee breaks, lunch breaks and tea breaks. We explored the beautiful environs of PORT DICKSON after classes. 

It was BLACK SATURDAY when we had our tour in MELAKA CITY and spent the night there. We went back to PORT DICKSON on Sunday afternoon as BACKPACKER, traveling by BUS and TAXI.

Then, we attended the classes again from MONDAY to FRIDAY the following week and explored again PORT DICKSON after classes by BIKING, JOGGING and WALKING towards the beautiful beaches and other interesting destinations in PORT DICKSON.

Then the following weekend, we had our tour at PUTRAJAYA CITY and KUALA LUMPUR CITY.

Enjoy the PICTURES of my JOURNEY in PORT DICKSON...

Our last night in PORT DICKSON in particular, in MALAYSIA in general is an emotional moment for us...
The 19 days and 18 nights went too fast that we have to leave the place and people whom we shared "MOMENTS"...
Coming from different countries, united by one goal,
WORLD PEACE!!!

The memories will remain not only in our minds
 but most importantly in our hearts...



THANK YOU!!!
