One of the things about Peninsular Malaysia that I totally dig is the fact that there are highland roads. These roads cut through the Titiwangsa Mountain Range which sits right in the middle of the peninsular. This mountain range allows for roads that cut and carve through the hills, mountains and valleys and on these roads is where motoring enthusiasts from all around the peninsular flock to. A drive up Cameron Highlands, Fraser's Hill or even up to Genting Highlands is usually a memorable one and for me, it is home. One to these destinations is someplace which I would love to retire to someday

Hi Hi,

 

I was curious if you have the GPS co-ordinates to the placE? I am kind of keen to try out the road... :)

Hi Xeonic, Sorry I do not have actual GPS co-ods. The thing about this area is that nearly ALL the roads are good to drive up to. You can start from the Middle Ring Road II down in KL and the take the old road up to genting sempah onwards to bentong. From there you can either go down to bukit tinggi town (left) or right, up towards janda baik. straight gets you to bentong (which is also good). as for ulu-yam - goh tong jaya stretch, do a search as lots of local enthusiasts use that way for a weekend drive up to genting highlands. The road up to the bukit tinggi colmar tropicale resort slightly further down is also a splendid drive. but some of these roads are good on weekdays as weekend mornings and afternoons are filled with tourists and enthusiasts.

 

regards

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 7)

    Ok, the title might be slightly misleading, but there is still a Japan-link.  So, pufferfish. Specifically, a wikipedia entry called Pufferfish mating ritual.  Long story short, one particular species of pufferfish make complex geometric circles in the sand to attract a mate. And this particular species is found only in Japan.  It's beautiful. It's bizarre. And it's absolutely amazing.  From the wikipedia entry: In a 2014 documentary by the BBC, narrator David Atten

    Armored MMA

    Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a brutal sport that, in recent decades, has grown to significant prominence.  Whatever you make of the sport (and the often complicated and sometimes problematic climate that swirls around it), there's no denying its popularity, driven in large part by the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) brand - a multi-billion-dollar global enterprise.  But if partially-clothed men/women beating the s*it out of each other is not quite your thing, may I interest you in

    Journey to the West: First Steps in Southwestern China, Pt. 1

    It used to be that when a person was visiting China for the first time, the natural choice was Beijing. No better way to learn about a country than a visit to its capital, amirite? Having had their fill of Peking duck and climbed the Great Wall of China, the next places they would likely look at are those on the east coast - Shanghai, Nanjing, perhaps Harbin. In recent times though, the southwestern parts of China have gotten much coverage on social media. Chongqing, the country’s largest c
