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:

Kuala Lumpur & Tehran, Directions!

First days of driving in Kuala Lumpur was so difficult for me. I guess this is the same problem that most of the people who are new to this town have.


KL has a general round shape which by this, I mean Kuala Lumpur streets are not straight. As you may see in a street that KL Tower is just in front of you, so you may guess that's it! I get this street & go forward till I reach to KL Tower; But you are absolutely wrong. You will be lost somewhere totally misplaced. even having a map or something does not help that much since you are driving and don't have time to look at it all times.
My own city-Tehran- has a very simple route. To any direction is the street, you will end up by the same direction. If you are heading north, it means you are going to north. Simple!

So, after a while and getting lost for a few times in KL, I preferred to pay more than 500 RM & buy a simple GPS for my car to navigate me in this complicated city. Thanks to ebay Malaysia for providing me a cheap GPS!

Just take a look at these two cities maps & find out for yourself :)
