Heritage Ipoh

... another jaunt into a mossy forest .. it was like going back in time .. everything was covered in moss ... and again once we got to the top of the hill the views!!! Now these i can tell you about because the clouds had lifted a bit .. WOW you could see for miles ... it was fantastic!!!<br><br>And then ..home .. and dinner ... cos i was starving and also freezing as i had been in wet jeans wet pants wet bra and tee shirt and wet shoes and socks all day!!! so some nice ...

... as quick as possible.<br><br> At least I had an air conditioner in my room (Sun Golden Inn) and had a chance to watch some odd movie company shooting a scene about prostitution next to my hotel at midnight. <br><br>Difficult to predict when you see me next time in Ipoh, eh.

... or morning prior to leaving. And it is always better to leave as early as possible in the morning because something unexpected will arise knocking you from your carefully planned and timed schedule. Whether it be not knowing where to catch the local bus or negotiating with taxi drivers for the best possible rate.<br> We were resigned to the fact a night in Ipoh was on the cards. Asking the taxi for a price to tanah ratah sealed the deal&#8230;we ...

... which had 4 seperate slides, all of which were different. The queues were not that bad either, the most we probably spent queueing was around 10minutes. There was also a very large lazy river, which was pretty good, although Tom and I didn't have a tube float for it, so it wasn't brilliant for us, but we still had fun chilling out in it. To prove that we are becoming Mall-rats, one of the Life Guards recognised us, and asked if we had been at the mall the previous day. He ...

... We sat down at played a few cards before being approached by a friendly Chinese man, who turned out to be the Bowling Ally Manager named Mr. Chong (Tom: Good ol' Chongy. Legend). He sat down with us and we had a really good conversation about the Malayan education, religion, England, Malaysia, the local area and various other topics. Tom jokingly asked if we could have a free game of bowling because we had now become friends, he replied that "nothing is for free in ...

... in Penang for Thaipusam. He also agreed to pick us up in the morning to take us on a tour around town. Taiping is the richest state in Malaysia and made its money originally from tin mines. It still remains affluent today - even ...

... It was so kind of the Belgians to help us all, even if they did scare me by trying to drive on the right! At Brinchang I tried to find a taxi but couldn't find a single one that wasn't parked without a driver! After a day of faffing to get somewhere, I was getting pretty exasperated and just as I reached the end of my tether, an ancient blue and yellow Mercedes taxi pulled up at the bus stop on the opposite side of the road to where I was standing. It must have been ...

Passed the present to YS when we met in Sri Maju HQ, and bidded farewell to YF and YS. Another nice trip in Ipoh. Due to time constraint, we did not get to go Gua Tempurung and another big waterfall (dunno where is it in Perak). Definitely want to come back again for these two spots, and also doing rafting. Thanks alot to YF, YS, as well as BY, Peng for this wonderful trip.

... and saw the scenery we would be walking through. This tea plantation was several times larger than the Bharat tea plantation we had seen yesterday, and we had a nice five kilometer walk through the whole thing. It was at this point that Erin mentioned that our new camera, which we had bought three days ago, wasn't working. She changed the batteries and said it still wasn't working. It wouldn't be until lots of curses ...

... on to the back of a motorbike, tuk-tuk, truck, elephant, etc. I realized that I myself haven't driven a car since I left home. Hopefully it's like riding a bike (in case I ever have the opportunity to drive again). So, I didn't know what kind of situation Goh was in, but I soon learned that he still hadn't been able to find any work after he stopped traveling and was living at home with his mom and sister. Goh ...
