Chilling & Serene

Took this shot just several steps away from my Dongdaemun Hotel,...Dongdaemun, Seoul in December 2008. My colleagues wanted to take an early breakfast just right about sunrise. Can't recall the exact time though, probably around 7:30 am. It was barely about 2 deg Celcius.

Manage to stop by a hawker stall after being persuaded by the lady chef which happens to speaks mandarin. It so happens that she's from China so we took some plain noddles thinking that we will have a better lunch later. The chef seems nice and open to talk about her experiences working in Korea but heck no! We were billed 10,000 won for a cup of plain noodles. That's about RM28-00 and it was a rip off. It only cost a mere 5,000 won to eat in a restaurant but this is only a hawker stall. I guess chinese really do know how to slash whether you're a chinese or non chinese.

Anyway, I'll talk about other more pleasant experiences later I hope.

Kanching Forest Trekking & Waterfalls

Recently, I heard that there's multiple waterfalls somewhere in Rawang called Kanching. Thought I googled it for some info and yes it's located in Selayang towards Rawang (E1). You will noticed a signboard 'Taman Rimba Komanwel & signs pointing the way to Hutan Lipur Sg. Kanching' right after you pass pasar borong Selayang.

Managed by the Selangor Forestry Department, nice trails offer easy access to each of the 7 tropical waterfalls as you hike up the slope. Frankly, I'm there to take some snapshots but as I go higher especially the last waterfall, it's really tempting to have a good swim. Unfortunately, I came unprepared and as a result I have to settled for a leg dipping only - Gasp! the water is real cool. I bet you can bring some drinks to cool 'em too.
