A Trip to Cameron Highlands

Malaysia has many different categories of attractions. One of them are highlands which are really joyful for visiting while you are spending time in a tropical all year round- summer country.

Cameron Highland is located almost hours driving from Kuala Lumpur toward north of KL. Its a great place for those who love to visit different plantations and farms like: strawberries, flowers & tea farms. There are lots of different type of places to stay around, ranges from expensive hotels to very cheap and budget houses and villas & apartments.
We spent about 24 hours around and I believe it was enough for this time. The temperature was around 17-18 degree daytime, and 10-12 degree at night time which was a bit cold and I liked after living more than two years in the humid always hot "KL". Here are some pictures of our 24 hours trip to Cameron Highlands:

Poker in Casino Genting



I’m not a gambler nor a casino lover or anything like this However I like to play poker. Gambling is absolutely illegal in Malaysia except one specific spot called: “Genting Casino”

Genting Casino is located on hills with a distance of about 1 hour driving from Kuala Lumpur & perhaps there were only a pressure from Chinese Malaysians and as a tourist attraction that Malaysia has this place; Like in Dubai which basically there is no casino in Dubai but there are some specific spots for very rich individuals who can play.

Genting has got many other attractions rather than casinos, like: Theme parks, shopping malls, hotels, Skyway (Cable Car) & ... They have estimated that each year almost 19 million people visit Genting Highland.

This weekened, there is poker tournament in Genting Casino & am on it. So, wish me luck!

McDonald Varies !


Within the past two years am living in Malaysia, I have noticed that McDonald is really different in every country. Although here in Malaysia its O.K but I remember Cyprus McDonald was much better in quality & more expensive of course.

McDonald have a system of localizing at least one food in every country in its menu. Here in Malaysia they call it "Ayam Goreng" & its really something out of McDonald Specialty because its not a burger, its chicken piece & its more like KFC stuff, anyway people buy it a lot here.
By the time I was in Cyprus, they had something called Greek Big Mac & it was Big Mac wrapped in pita bread!
I checked some other countries McDonald webiste & I found out every ever is having something special. Like in Turkey they had something strange in menu: Kofteh Burger! Kofteh was a totally different food from Turkey, How it may come in Burger??? How does it taste? I don't know?

In Japan , they had something like schenitzel chicken piece. I checked China, Argentina, Greece & ... It's interesting to see how different people of the world are being treated by McDOnald.

Malaysian Fruits and its variation





Here in Malaysia, You can easily find a lot of various fruits that you may have seen rarely in other countries or you have not seen or heard about at all. Fruits like Durian, Mangosteen, Jackfruit, Guava & Papaya. Since am not a fruit type of person I don’t really enjoy eating any of them however my wife is an absolute fan. One of the reasons she can’t think of any other country for living is Malaysian fruits!
About Durian I should tell you its got a very bad smell and I can not even pass by its counters by less than five meters distance. Even my wife could not eat it, but my friends here usually tell me that its taste is totally different than its smell and its a delicious and addictive fruit!

Jackfruit, Mangosteen & Guava, I like them but when it reach to Papaya , again its not possible to eat too much of it because it’s got no taste. I tell you something so you can enjoy the most of Papaya! Its almost a secret & we found it out by chance. Lime juice! Add some lemon juice to it & its gonna be great and tasty!



Papayas have two important figures which we have to eat it here. First is that Papayas have the most amount of Vitamin C among all these fruits. Its got ten times more vitamin C than orange. The second reason is helping digestion process which sometimes becomes a problem in Malaysia because of eating lots of spicy foods!
