Up & Down

....
Another update on the run. I'll let the photos do the talk first, will come back for more details maybe, on my family trip to New York. NY? That was in my dream. I just went up and came down from Genting Highlands. It's really easy to go up there, just take this genting express bus at puduraya, kl sentral or terminal putra (gombak) in KL.

It was one misty afternoon, travelling in a cable car can extremely mystifying and intriguing, especially in one with records of accident.


Who would have thought of building hotels and resorts up on a highland in the middle of jungle for the monkeys, birds and insects? Well Lim Goh Tong did that, now his effort and innovation paid off well. What's next then, under the sea? Outerspace?

The main attraction up there is of course the casino, Genting casinos are the only place we can gamble legally in Malaysia, correct me if I'm wrong. It is also a discriminative place that commits prejudice on age. I am one of those who was victimized for being underaged, by 2 months! I wasn't too keen to enter anyway, since I was not able to find any patron or treasure chest to do my show hand.

Also, there are many other entertainment facilities available in the theme parks. Due to the slightly high average age of the participants involved, we didn't go for the theme parks. Instead, we went to other lighter recreational facilities such as the snow world, the one where i took the photo in snow above. The place is a big refrigerator cooled down to -4~5 celcius, fabricated with artificial snow. The cold is no kidding and has definitely intimidated me, snow = romancic + beautiful +++ wet + dirty + freezing + killing. Now I'm not sure if it's a good choice to go to New York, should have chosen California instead @@

And of course, none of them is free. Everything comes with a price, which is certainly not cheap. The unfortunately me even lost some tickets when I was walking around the park. Luckily I wasn't allowed to enter the casino, else I would have lost my cash also.

In short, Genting is a great vacation spot for its one of a kind weather and environment, but please make sure that you bring enough cash to really enjoy the stay, savor all the food and utillize all the facilities.
