Cameron Highlands - Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) trip

Here comes the story of my first step to Truly Asia, or Malaysia! I always used to wonder about this country, heart of Asia. Popular with its beautiful nature and touristic attractions, it was really one of my dreams to see this country. First target was Cameron Highlands, popular with its natural beauty, tea plantations, strawberry farms and cool highlands, it is located on the North East of Malaysia, 4-5 hour car drive from Kuala Lumpur. So, one nice Friday evening (this is our favorite evening, end of week and beginning of weekend!) me, Gitti and Nacho took a bus to KL(stands for Kuala Lumpur). Once I passed the borders, there it was - Malaysia!!! Feeling was great, I stepped to another new country (one more place to "tick"!). Well, we reached KL, and I was surprised to see that things are very different than Singapore. It was not as clean, as modern as Singapore, but still people were same with majority of Malays. We met there Pauline (or Pilli, from Kenya, DHL trainee) and Erwan (DHL trainee from France). So after a short tour in KL, we headed the Cameron Highlands, Erwan driving brand car Proton. One thing I like about traveling with trainee friends is the way we have a lot of fun. After a fun trip full of jokes and songs, we were at Cameron Highlands! Green jungles were everywhere, and I could see real tea plantations! We were to stay at small lodge called "Daniel's place" (coz its name we were keeping asking staff where actually Daniel was). We spent day by going to Food Festival, jungle walk, having fun of Asian pose and trying to behave like Singaporeans to spend time by "shopping and eating" :) (hope my dear Singaporean friends don't take this seriously, it was just for fun, we all respect Singapore and its residents). The next day we visited tea plantations and bought some fresh Cameron tea to enjoy it and remember this day back in Singapore. Back in KL, we "did shopping and ate" again :). "King Arthur" was to complete this tiring day. At night I took my bus back to Singapore to reach for Singapore National Day celebrations.
