I plan on backpacking Southeast Asia this summer. Does anyone want to join me? Also what advice do you have?
Is there a way to take a boat from Malaysia to Indonesia?

What are the 10 things?
Asher Nelson
Avoid KL and Sumatra if you're wh*te/can't speak the local language.
Camden Harris
hehehe...
Asher Roberts
Why?
I want to go to historic places like Palembang
Anthony Allen
Just come with deep pockets and use it all at mbs casino silly gwailo
Brody Morris
They probably mug whitoid tourists
Grayson Brooks
Is there anything happening on Borneo except Brunei?
Colton Phillips
WAIT sorry IM RETARDED. I thought Borneo was Sumatra. Yes, avoid Sumatra because it has rampant islamists. Borneo is really nice, and THATS the one with English as one of the two official languages.

I thought only Western Sumatra was crazy
Brayden Garcia
Let me guess, you're going there for the "architecture"
Hudson Powell
Your probably right but the Malaysian said to avoid it.
Liam Lee
Chances of tourists getting mugged/scammed are high. Avoid non-tourists area in KL and walk in groups in Sumatra.
Jayden Hall
>not having heard of Kota Kinabalu
Jacob Torres
There's a reason why Medan is often referred to as the Gotham of indonesia.
Matthew Ortiz
Redpill me on KL, I had a tamil professor in college from there.
John Richardson
If you don't want to see Muslims then North Sumatra is still a good place to visit, especially around lake toba.

Both

Daniel Howard
Can get lynched/stabbed/mugged if you're not careful in some parts of the city (anywhere far away from the tourist spots especially at night).
Juan Foster
You'd fuck her stop lying.
Daniel Lewis
Muttoid, just like you.
Parker Foster
Never said I didn't, homoman.
Caleb Lee
?
Explain.
It was the capital of SriViajaya
Oliver Hill
The local upstanding malay muslim man.
Jordan Adams
Srivijaya empire was a long long time ago. If you want to see srivijaya you're not going to find it in palembang. Might as well go to a museum.
Lucas Torres
Bitch. I'd outta slap the shit out of you. Betawi mutt
Adam Rodriguez
Srivijaya had plenty of capitals during its existence. Palembang was more of a recent construction not unlike any other cities here with no hints of Srivijayan legacy except of some rocks with Sanskrit etched on them.
Andrew Ramirez
Wtf. Did the Muslims destroy it all? Damnit
Tyler Cox
>American
Have fun getting mugged
Wyatt Rivera
Bukittinggi is the only place worth visiting in West Sumatra desu. You can get a bus trip from Pekanbaru to get there, cause I would never recommend you to stay in shithole Padang where all the crazies live.
Michael Fisher
Nah, the empire was already in decline by the time the Muslims came. Later settlers didn't even know what the hell Srivijaya was if wasn't for European archeologist.
John Kelly
Muslims aren't to blame for everything, Cletus. By the times the Muslims arrived srivijaya was already on its way out. If anything it was probably Indians that put the nail in the coffin.
Gavin Myers
But Islam was spread by Indians
Wyatt Anderson
I was referring to the chola invasion.
Elijah Watson
avoid people that looks like your professor
Oliver Cook
It was the chinks, actually.
Elijah Jenkins
if you're referring to zheng he then malays were already muslim before that. if you're referring to wali songo, then it was matrilineal (they married local chink in java) and they themselves were not chink.
Colton James
*maternal, not matrilineal
Nathan Price
>Believes Zheng he converted Indonesia
OH No No No
Islands of Nusantara had long connections with Bengal. When they became Muslim Java followed suit
(Although it was a Hindu-Muslim fusion before independence)
Austin Price
not bengal, but tughlaq dynasty from delhi sultanate
