Best of all the humidity is way down.<br /><br />It feels almost Mediterranean :)<br /><br />BTW, I hear that Tioman is open year-round; live goes on in the kampongs there, after all. But some resorts won&#39;t be open during the monsoon months - though I understand that the larger ones, Berjaya and such are open 365 days per year.<br /><br />That said, the bottle-neck during Chinese New Year is the ferries to Tioman. The ferries tend to run a lot less frequently during January and February, maybe one ferry per day. The reason is the state of the sea and the low tide issues outside the Mersing harbor, the departure point to Tioman.<br /><br />My advice to Tioman travelers during the monsoon months is that if you&#39;ve already booked Berjaya or similar, or you want to go to Tioman during Chinese New year, then it&#39;s probably best to book your ferry tickets as far in advance as possible, so you won&#39;t be stranded at the departure jetty due to the ferry for that day being already full.<br /><br />I&#39;ve added the company name and URL to a site that sells ferry tickets online in the form fields. Perhaps this info is considered useful enough to be not considered spam :)<br /><br />Tioman Boleh!Tioman Ferry Ticketshttp://www.tiomanferry.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12856906.post-3516261882639782972011-12-19T09:28:11.999+08:002011-12-19T09:28:11.999+08:00Any developments for this issue?

Only downside is the sea is a bit rough and the water visibility is lower.<br />Think of it as a time for nature to regenerate.mersinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273199767479755797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12856906.post-21452386228221505782010-02-21T05:48:12.627+08:002010-02-21T05:48:12.627+08:00This is so well written, commendations for this piece.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.articlesbase.com/weight-loss-articles/best-way-to-lose-weight-fast-and-safely-1874786.html" rel="nofollow">lose weight fast</a>Skyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02731583673744560767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12856906.post-42981723631641676852010-02-10T18:39:24.555+08:002010-02-10T18:39:24.555+08:00hi there..<br /><br />anyone in mersing now?<br />i need a mystery shopping in mersing.<br /><br />please contact me at christine@crcg.com or 017-2006219 for more informationchristinehttp://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1296467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12856906.post-791531665342048952010-02-04T07:20:13.333+08:002010-02-04T07:20:13.333+08:00Excellent post and writing style.
