Gurung Jerai, Kedah Phototrip 270610

To get there, exit Gurun toll and head towards old Gurun town. At the town junction, turn right and look our for the park's carpark on your left after around 1km.

There are vans for hire to go up from the park. Cost RM50 per van then. Trip up takes around 30 minutes via a winding sloping road. Can drive up your own vehicle but if you do, I suspect will result in a major repair of suspensions.

Lots of landscaped garden and flowers.

I have no idea how long the resort will survice based on what I see the crowd on that day. Most are day tripper just stoping by. Even the van driver pakcik told me only locals comes, foreigners will just come and leave on the same day.

Most probably surviving by goverment department functions.

Quite a number of chalets and accomodations but looks expensive.

Some Indian Ingenuities

Found in Kerala, India Part 2

Fried banana (or banana fries as they call it in India)? Fried sweet potato? Fried thi-kuih?
Those are for sissies.

How about fried chillies?


The dried chillies itself is not spicy at all since they were de-seeded before being coated with batter and fried.

Admitedly the accompanying dipping sause packs a punch though. Enjoyed it.

Found in Kerala, India, Part 1

Being a goody two shoes lately??


Then no chicks will dig you since like chicks only digs bad men. Not to worry, in a restaurant in Trivandrum, Kerala, India, found ways for you to raise the evilness in you without breaking any law. It is even cheap some more.


By the way, the restaurant served excellent Briani too.


Not content accumulating human dosa only, they even have chicken and goat dosa for you.
I was wondering how the Dosa will be brought to your after your order. I think should be in a bottle in liquid or gas form for easy consumption and storage. Or they will be serve in spiritualy and you just sit there asorbing the Dosa.
Anyway, when ordered (abeit in another place), the packaging was kinda disappointing, although admitedly yummy.

PS: for those non-Malay speaking, dosa = sins in Malay.

Part Of Historic Moment

Joining a historic moment, so here goes.

Lower Station

Wonder will this still be here later?

Generation 1

Some people comes out saying how we should preserve the old train system since its here for so many many years already.

Personally I disagree. Whats the use of an old relic which is not funtioning properly? Remember the old tram railing along Penang road, whats that for. I never see and I dont think we will have any tourists coming just to see that old rail.

By Malaysian standard, the hu-ha will be forgotten as soon as the new rail is up.
