I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the   36   celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not   37   much from the war where, though, like most children of my age, I often saw   38   houses in the streets and the very big   39   lorries(卡车) passing through. But both at home and at school I had become   40   to the phrases “before the war” and “when the war is over”. “Before the war”, obviously,   41   had been better, though I was too young to understand why,   42   there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had  43   heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant very  44   to me. I did not remember what London was like.
What I remember now  45   V-Day(victory day) was the afternoon and the evening. Some boys and girls were collecting   46  and building an enormous bonfire(篝火).

It was May and still broad   48  when my mother arrived, and my father came in about an hour later. After dinner I said I wanted to   49   the bonfire, so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very   50  , and somehow people had collected some old clothes to   51   “Hitler” with the moustache(胡子) they had put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames   52   soon. Everyone was cheering and shouting.
I stood beside my father until the   53   started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had   54   in the First World War and remembered everything he had experienced. At last he said, “Well, that’s it, son. Let’s hope that this time it really will be the   55   one.”

How could I turn down an opportunity for a weeklong cruise on a luxury motorsailer in the Andaman Sea? Without a second thought, I packed my bags and jumped on a plane to Singapore, and the following day I found myself looking out the airplane window at the beautiful waters surrounding the island of Langkawi off the coast of Malaysia.
The last time I was in Langkawi was in 2001, when it was relatively quiet. Langkawi has come a long way since then; there are 4, 5, and even 6-star hotels, as well as spas, golfing, horseback riding and even a cable car taking visitors to the highest point on the island.
At the Langkawi International Airport I met my shipmates and we were driven to Pantai Tengah with a quick pit stop for sunblock and duty-free goodies. Many other shopping opportunities abound since Langkawi was designated as a duty-free zone in 1987 to entice tourists to the island.
A luxurious yacht tender picked us up. Phillipe, the first mate, maneuvered the tender between sailboats and as we went around a small island there she was, S/V Blue Gold. This majestic 10-passenger sailboat—all 165 feet of her—had been built in Italy and recently underwent a full retrofit. Once aboard, the crew welcomed us with refreshments and big smiles. Before we got too comfortable and settled into the plush comforts of the boat, Alain, the captain, took us on a tour of Blue Gold’s impressive accommodations. The master suite had a king-size bed, with a lounge area and “his & hers” wardrobes. The VIP cabin had a queen-size bed, also with a lounge area. Both had ensuite bathrooms.
The first evening aboard was the perfect start to our voyage—a small cocktail party followed by a light meal of seared tuna salad. It was exactly what our jet-lagged bodies craved, and we all slept very well aboard what would become our new home for the next 7 days.
In the morning after breakfast, we sailed to Pulau Ta Ngah (also spelled “Pulau Tengah”; pulau means island in Malay). In the 1970s the site had been a Vietnamese refugee transit camp. Not long after the end of the war, the camp was shut down and the island was gazetted as a marine park by the Malaysian government. Officially “uninhabited,” it does boast a golf course, but we were unable to determine if it was still in operation. The most intriguing event on the island occurs in July when the giant leatherback turtles lay their eggs on a beach on Ta Ngah.
