Travellers guide!

A common day when you're on the road alone, without a guidebook and you don't wanna book ahead:


You leave early so you've got plenty of time. You walk down to the beach were you’ve heard there would be pick-ups around eight. You find out you were right! Good start. You get to the mainland by boat. Ask the first turists you find if they are going to the busstation too. They are! Lucky again. You walk to the bus station with them. At the busstation no one speaks english. You find two Malaysian guys who speaks a little and get them to translate what the man at the buscounter tells you. Apparently you are going to find a local bus which leaves at a street corner 10 minutes from here. You get (very bad) directions. You start walking by yourself. Ask around. After some time you figure this must be the spot. Three people separate from each other told you this was the place. They also told you three different times for the bus to be here, but the place they all agreed to. You sit down and wait! 2 hours later a bus passes by. It's the right one! You are now on your way to Kuala Terengganu!
