Cameron Highlands

There's something sweet about Cameron H'lands. Ya, it's dirty; rubbish and flies everywhere (They blame it on the "natural-based" fertilizers. Yea right, I don't see any flies in the farms. It's the waste management system, just work on it!) and there are just too many cars than the road can handle. But, it has its charm, all 18deg Celcius of it. And couple that with raw food; vegetables, tea and flowers (if you're into eating stuff like that), it's definitely a magnet.

I won't recommend Cameron Highlands to tourist though, as the rubbish alone, not to mention the pukey diesel fumes from buses and Land Rovers, would kill them instantaneously. But for Malaysian (and Singaporeans and Siamese) who suffers day-in day-out at 32deg Celcius, Cameron H'lands is THE place to chill out, without needing much pasetas.

Plan for a 2-night stay. Not less. And definitely not more. And rent an apartment with kitchen facility. That way, you can have a full-vegie diet, with tea of course, for 3 days in a row, with friends of your choice. Eat as many strawberries and sweet corns as you can. And buy bucket loads of flowers. Those stuff are dirt cheap over there. Read a book and just let the hours pass you by. And once you've done the 2-nights, you will never want to go there again, for at least another year or two.
