Tower Regency Hotel Ipoh

... and we made our way back to our hotel after taking in a local night garden (a bit like Jen&#8217;s favourite Red Garden in Georgetown but with less sophistication. Clearly a local place we became the centre of attention for a while until the usual things to shout at each other came back into play and we were left to get on with our drinks (except for the Heineken beer girl who kept topping up our glasses of Tiger and trying to tempt us to buy some of her beer.)<br>&#12288;

... in a minivan to all the places and entertained by the driver!<br>In the evening the 4 of us had dinner together at an Indian place which served yummy food and a cool beer. Being in the highlands it's a lovely cool climate and we actually enjoyed wearing our jumpers again for a while!!<br>It was a good trip and thankfully the bus the following morning got us back to KL in plenty of time ready for our flight to Borneo. One of places we were most looking forward to.

... I'm sure you'll get over it!). We went to the local Mall, 'Ipoh Parade', to get some food; it seems we are becoming Mall-rats as of late. We got some nice food in the food court for quite cheap, and I finally got to eat some lamb!! How I missed Lamb! I had spicy lamb noodle soup, yum yum yum! After eating we headed back to the room and played cards for the rest of the night and watched some very amusing Malayan TV Soaps (Tom: Amusing? Amusing?! It was drama at its finest! I ...

... like spaghetti bolognese)! We spotted a HUUUUGE lizard in the river next to the restuarant and hoped that it wouldn't feast on any of the nearby kittens. To add to my love of cats, because they simply don't give a **** about anyone, but themselves, one was drinking water from the kitchen sink for over 5minutes, which prevent man from washing his hands before his dinner! He was also showing his **** to the man through out, Brilliant :D After dinner we decided to go ...

... de the. Magnifique, la pause (the et tartelette) nous on boucher un coin(surtout qu'il etait 16:00 sans avoir manger de la journee) Puis une ferme de papillon, cette fois tout une experience. Nous avons pris des scorpions sur nous, tenue des serpents, de petit lezard, plus d'autres bibittes. Encore une fois une belle experience. On a fini par un "milk shake" au fraise dans une ferme de fraise. Tout une journee, mais enfin un remontant, la ...

Georgetown -&gt; Ipoh --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- -------- Salut tout le monde. Nous allons bien. Nous avons quitte Georgetown aujourd'hui. Notre premier plan etait d'aller dans une autre ville mais nous sommes arrive 15 min trop tard pour attrapper le bus. Nous avons donc changer les plans. Nous sommes actuellement a Ipoh. Pas un grand trajet 2:00 + 30 minutes de trafique. Nous cherchions un hotel dans le coin de la gare d ...

... started out something we thought was a path that turned out not to be. Eventually we found the right trail and took Path 10 into Path 12 though we were unable to follow our original plan and loop back around to take Path 11 back to town because of a pesky power station that was impenetrable (not that we actually tried to get past the barbed wire gates). Rumor has it that some of the trails are so badly marked because the local guides don't like ...

... and his family got a lift with us and were crammed in the back with me and KT (6 of us in a space big enough for about 2 and a half). Almost back the little boy was sick.... nice. One day we did do some exploring of our own, walking one of the many numbered treks round the area (we chose the easiest one!). One of the highlights apparently was a waterfall but was so sad to see how disgustingly dirty it was - rubbish hanging off all of the rocks ...

... it's ringed by beautiful limestone hills; they make for nice hiking, and also reputedly have much spiritual power, so over the years a number of Chinese temples have been erected within them. When we weren't feasting or visiting family, Mr. and Mrs. Kan took me around Ipoh to visit a few of the temples; especially given the new year, they were bustling with activity, vibrant colors, and profuse clouds of incense. As I ...

I am so excited, stoked, thrilled, happy, ecstatic, elated, joyful, that you guys are coming. Mommy and Daddy are excited, too. In fact, the whole family is. Whee! Daddy is laying on the floor, talking excitedly about taking Pas out for snake, squirrel, tortoise ... and for a drinking session. I hope you like brandy and water! My trip to Ipoh was really nice. It was good to see Fiona, Graham, and ...
