DIY Tour of Genting Highlands, Malaysia

On our last day of KL training of Netscreen firewalls, we hopped unto a train at KLCC terminal going to KL Sentral and bought bus tickets at the second floor going to Malaysia's famous hill station: Genting Highlands.

The bus trip took about an hour up the mountain where it's misty and cold. We didn't come here to gamble but just to take a peek at one of Malaysia's tourist attractions plus an exhilirating ride on gondola of Genting Skyway, a fast cable car service.

Inside First World Plaza are replicas of world famous landmarks like Eiffel Tower of Paris, Big Ben of London, Gondolas of Venice, Times Square of New York and many more

There's also a Ripley's Believe or Not gallery or interesting and eerie displays.



After a few photo opportunities, decided to leave early to avoid rush (we bought return tickets as soon as we arrived just to be sure)

    Another tip for people who would like to gamble is to keep tabs on their money. :)

    I'm planning to visit KL soon and I just might drop by the Monte Carlo casino.
