62: Kuala Selangor Travels

It's been almost a month since I shot all of these, even some of the details are a blur to me.

Nevertheless, seeing how I haven't updated in a while (work has increased a lot), I thought I'd show you some shots I took on a road trip down to Kuala Selangor (minus the witty comments and writing. 4 hours of sleep kills me).

Me and my dad left around 10a.m. On the way there, we stopped by a bona fide fishing village...

Ever wondered how you're favourite keropok snacks are made? Probably like this.

Drying Keropok


Ingredients processed and dried out in the sun like that. Its surprising that there were no flies!

After a somewhat disappointing lunch, we headed up Bukit Melawati on a tram.

Train Up

There were plenty of monkeys up there.

Say Cheese

Its also a pretty lucrative business to sell long beans to tourists as food for the monkeys (even the ice-cream man was selling them). There was even a safari-rodeo-dude guy up there (probably the local expert on monkeys?)

That's him right behind. Not the first 3 hairy things.


Kids Feeding

Mother and Child

It's all clear to me now. Long beans get turned to milk in monkeys.


Oh, and there was a cat too.

After that, it was just a long walk down and a long drive home...A day well spent in my opinion.
