Wonderful Trip to Gohtong Jaya and Genting Highland http://jesonestop.blogspot.com/ 24th July 2011 – The journey goes on with Mr Italiano Federico and Bella Deborah. After spending hours in the toilet, being nagged to be quick quick, we decided to head over to Genting Highland this time. I missed my childhood times when my family brings me up to Genting Highland, when the adults are busy gambling, and some adults have to sacrifice to take care all the little monkey children. Genting Highland is one place you ought to go, where you will see so many people going there with convenience of transports and good services around. But before I continue to Genting Highland, let me talk about Gohtong Jaya. Gohtong Jaya is a main township in Genting Highlands, Bentong, and Pahang at Malaysia. It was erected ... read more

Geo: 3.38457, 101.772Woke up, had breaky at hotel. They had eggs but no bacon. After breaky we went straight up-stairs to buy our wrist-bands for the Outdoor Theme ParkWe were literally 30 seconds too late and had to wait behind a massive tour group but luckily we were special for some reason and we got escorted to the desk by two ladies and got our wrist bands straight away. We went on a lot of the rides, the cyclone, giant drop, a double decker merry-go-round, a mono-rail,... There's a place called Beryls Chocolate world which is really cool. Its got cute little replicas of buildings, and the chocolate making process, heaps of fact posts and three kittens sitting on top of a house.

Da leider aufgrund der Monsunzeit die Insel Tioman in Suedosten Malaysias bereits geschlossen war, hatten wir noch ein bisschen Zeit auf dem Festland, bevor es weiter nach Borneo ging. Waehrend unseres Zwischenstopps in Kuala Lumpur haben wir deshalb kurzerhand beschlossen, einen Ort namens Genting Highlands aufzusuchen. In der “Bibel” waren diese Genting Highlands zwar gar nicht aufgefuehrt, aber auch der heilige Lonely Planet ist ja nicht immer allwissend. Von ein paar Malaien haben wir naemlich zufaellig wir erfahren, dass es sich hier um ein beruehmtes Casino auf einem Berg nicht weit entfernt von KL handelt. Ausserdem hatten wir gehoert, dass es dort eine abgespeckte Version eines Erlebnisparks geben sollte, aber wirklich sicher darueber, was uns dort erwarten wuerde, waren wir uns nicht. Am 03.11. haben wir uns somit aus Neugier auf den Weg gemacht um zu ... read more

Yea, indeed, it was just a short getaway as I am staying nearby Genting and it is definately not my first trip to Genting Highlands. Just this is my first time have it recorded down in my travelling blog page. Just some observations: - The First World Hotel's standard is really poor and below my expectations and I would not stay there again. - Love the Genting skyway cable car ride - Never drop by in the Casino at all - not interested - Forgotten about the outdoor theme park - too lazy for it In fact, I was sleeping the whole time inside the hotel room. Well, I got nothing to lose as I have plenty of rest and it was a free trip given to me.... read more

This place was genius. We were amazed how posh and built up the place was considering it was on top of a mountain. We checked into the First World hotel which is renowned for being the first ever hotel built with 6,000 rooms. It was brightly coloured and had an indoor and outdoor theme park. These were mostly aimed at kids but there was plenty to do and see. We were on the 19th floor and the views from our room were astonishing, especially considering we were above cloud level. We booked tickets for the Mysteria magic show which was pretty impressive and Jo was was amazed when they replaced a girl with a white tiger on stage. We also checked out the casino and nightclub but all got quite expensive! The next day we took ... read more
