Kampung Awek - Jerteh, Terengganu

Seven kilometres from Jerteh town is Kampung Awek, a small village that sounds like a reason for guys to flex their biceps.

“Awek is the local lingo for girlfriend, and yes, from research by many people, there are many pretty girls there.”

Travellers are quick to embrace the village’s eyebrow-raising name, snapping pictures of the sign as they pass. As it turns out, the name has a perfectly innocent origin.

To the boys, better go 2 the village to see pretty girls… =)
