Greetings to everyone out there, Haze was back since the year of 2005. My family intended to spend a few days in highland as soon as the school breaks began. Had always prefered Cameron Highland which is filled with greenaries and more relaxation compared to Genting Highlands which is not for me at all. Genting Highlands is filled with loud noises and packed with all kinds of people all over the world. Never miss out eating steam boat, a dipping hot wok filled with seafood and vegetables. It is recommended to have steam boat because the dipping hot wok is very suitable for the cooling weather found in Cameron Highland.Been a must for my family to go for steam boat each visit to the highland. Besides that, for the city folks, working in a polluted surrounding ... read more

I’m not sure if you’ll believe this, but it has been hot lately. Yes I know I’ve been living at 3 degrees north of the Equator for nearly a year now, but we’ve felt comfortable in the heat for quite some time now. But then, near the beginning of April, it stopped raining. Our daily downpour has ended, and we only get a small rain event maybe once a week. As a result it is heating up, we are venturing outside less, we are dreaming of Canada. About 4-5 hours North and inland from KL lies the Cameron Highlands. Reputed to be cool and refreshing, even bring a light sweater kind of place, we ventured up for the long weekend in May with our friend Natalie. What a refreshingly cool weathered adventure we had. Malaysia is ... read more

Hey Folks! So here goes for Malaysia Part 2! We had rain but more in the form of tropical storms which we did not mind that much...but i seriously think we have a black cloud over our heads permantely! So we arrived in The Cameron Highlands. Thats an old English Hill station, so the first thing we noticed was the major temperature drop. But it was welcomed. The fleeces came in handy! I knew they would...I even slept in it! We stayed at a place called Fathers Guest House which was really nice and homely. Met some amazing people. Get this for a small world. We met a couple called Matt and Laura and we were just having a general chit chat as you do, and it turned out Laura had just finished studying physiotherapy. Well ... read more

Hello everyone, having a lovely time in the peace and quiet of the Cameron Highlands- the cool temperatures are a nice change- can actually walk around outside without dripping sweat after 10 minutes and the rain is quite reminiscent of home. We have been here for 5 days now and although we havent done that much it has been very pleasant as our hostel has a cheap bar and pool table and a nice common area where we have met lots of other travellers and Rob has lost numerous games of both chess and draughts (not to Katie it must be added). On the day we arrived we decided to try to go for a walk armed only with a map from lonely planet- we walked for about half an hour along a busy main road ... read more

There are some things you don’t expect to see in life: a Monk farting, or Manchester City wining a trophy, for example. Which is why we were both delighted and honoured to see a plethora of wild creatures in our third week of travelling in Southeast Asia. Let me begin where I left off… The Cameron Highlands, as I mentioned, are high lands. This meant a noticeable dip in temperature to a chilly 28 degrees by day and positively arctic 22 degrees at night. Our first of what’s sure to be several treks began with a trip to the aforementioned tea fields, a beautiful sight but no tantalising aromas to speak of yet. It wasn’t until we ventured further up the mountains that we came across the factory where the magic happens. And the tea. We ... read more
