Getting to know Malaysia
Every one has some hidden loves. Waiting to be developed or uncovered. You can only find out, if you expose yourself to them
These are my subjects and also those that inspire me to write.
|
So much to catch up on -- Nature |
|
|
Flora Look out for what used to be common but now forgotten. Check out on the endangered plants |
 |
Interesting to see alternative outlook & strange ways --- Lifestyle |
| Travel
Feel free to roam the whole Peninsula
From Tanjong Piai in Johore to Tachilek on the Siamese border. Obscure townships and exotic parks
suddenly become so accessible. All within 3-5 hours drive Travel is all about seeing life beyond your own domain. Yet life some kilometers away, can be very different from what your see daily. From Kuala Lumpur, where I live, life in Kuala Selangor has all the ingredients of those new "experiences" I wanted to see. Just open your eyes and recognize them. e.g. from the posters above, Kenong has more to offer than Taman Negara - depends on what interest you. |

practices
Our elderly gentleman is way past the 70's, he climbs an average of 160 coconut trees daily to collect "tody" |
|
Food From Trang to Singapore, unhealthy preparations and dirty eateries are giving way to fast food. Vanishing are those unique taste under the disguise of supervision. |

These are things and events that you can seek and easily meet up with in wonderful Malaysia, a stone throw from your starting point. Almost every time you set out - pause and ponder before you even consider to stray across the border into Thailand! - another truly amazing land
