After savoring tamarind fish curry in Bentong, we continued our journey to Kuala Lipis. We stopped at Raub town to take some photos.
Raub was one of the gold production locations in Peninsula Malaya during the old times. Nowadays, Raub is not as prosperous as before. As you can see from the above photo, there are bundle of old shop houses in Raub town.
The influence of MCA has already gone with the wind. The door of Raub MCA building is tidy closed.
Former Minister of Tourism Ng Yen Yen has not shown up in Raub for quite some time. May be she is enjoying travel around the world.
Two buses were parked at Raub bus terminal but no passenger there. Although the weather was fine that day, Raub town was quite deserted.
Visiting to Jeju Seongeup Folk Village is as if taking a walk down memory lane. It's crystal clear that South Korea government is truly dedicated to improve the living condition of Koreans.
Although the buildings in Seongeup Folk Village are built similar to the old times but they are different with the residence in Bukchon and the houses in Namsangol Hanok Village. It may be the living environments of these places are not the same.
The stuff in front the house is hay. The hay is used for making house roof after tying with ropes. The wall of the house is constructed with lava rocks. The gaps among the rocks are filled with clay mud.
The rock walls surround the house are also piled with lava rocks. As a small island, Jeju Island is always facing hit by strong wind. The rock walls are built for preventing the house from blowing away by strong wind.
This stone pillar is the gate of the house of islander. If the stone pillar is not latched, it means the house owner is at home.
These little yellow flowers are rape flowers. I was surprised with the name of these flowers after doing a Google search.
Located at Northern Trengganu, Marang is around 21 km driving distance from Kuala Trengganu.
There is a jetty at Marang. This jetty is the gateway from Marang to nearby islands. As the distance is not too far, small boats are used to transfer passengers by the boat companies.
The signboard is hung up highly to ensure the visitors go to the right place to take the right boat to their destination.
A wide range of services is provided by one of the Marang travel agents. The services are fishing trip, diving course, snorkeling trip, room reservation, candat sotong trip and round trip transfer.
Before visiting Ostrich Farm, we went to Ramunia Beach to enjoy the cool sea breeze.
Located along the road to Desaru, Ramunia Beach is around 5 km driving distance from Sungai Rengit.
The scenery of Ramunia Beach is truly charming. Apart from swimming in the sea, you can picnic at the beach.
In case you wish to watch the starry sky at night, you can stay in Pantai Nelayan Resort.
The rate of the resort is affordable but I am not sure about the comfort of the resort.
Located at the foothill of Signal Hill, Atkinson Clock Tower is the unique landmark of KK, Sabah. Completed in 1905, Atkinson Clock Tower is the oldest building in Kota Kinabalu.
Atkinson was appointed as the first district officer of Jesselton (Kota Kinabalu) by British North Borneo Company. Unfortunately he died at the age of 28 because infected with malaria. Mother of Atkinson, Mrs. Mary Edith Atkinson built Aktinson Clock Tower as a memorial to his late son.
After the destruction of World War II, Atkinson Clock Tower still guiding ships entering the Port of Jesselton. Because now there are many tall buildings in KK, Atkinson Clock Tower no longer serves as direction indicator.

We dropped by Macau
Gallery before our trip to Macau. It's truly unlucky that Macau Gallery was
closed during our visit in July. So, we were unable to see the exhibits inside
Macau Gallery.
Since we couldn't enter Macau Gallery, we took some photos outside Macau Gallery. While enjoy capturing photos, we discovered a few saga trees nearby Macau Gallery.
Proton Saga is Malaysia manufactured vehicle. Tang Dynasty poet, Wang Wei described saga seed as lovesick seed.
BN ministers and senior officials relate saga seed with army. They label social media users who are not same wavelength with them as cyber saga trooper. No wonder police guns learn how to dive and refuse to return to police station.

Bentong Weng Kie tamarind fish curry is truly mouth watering.
We were savoring tamarind fish curry during Bentong blackout night. It's a superb dish of Weng Kie Eatery. That's why we specially drove to Bentong again to enjoy the fingers licking tamarind fish curry.
We were lucky that Wen Kie Eatery was doing business during our revisit. Chatting with the boss of Wen Kie Eatery, he told me that he was just returned from Penang for his holiday trip.
Before going to Sekinchan market, we passed by SJKC Yoke Kuan. We stopped there for a while to take some photos of the school.
The mural of SJKC Yoke Kuan is truly fantastic. I wonder who had done this excellent job.
Pua Khein-Seng who had invented the first "USB flash drive" is the former student of SJKC Yoke Kuan.
Same as previous years, Auditor General's Report 2012 is truly entertaining.
The missing of PDRM guns is the funniest joke of Malaysia in 2013. It's as clear as crystal that Minister of Home Affairs Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is the most fantastic joker of Malaysia.
Before switching to Ministry of Home Affairs, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was former Minister of Ministry of Defense. During his term as Minister of Defense, occurred the loss of TUDM jet engine. Now is the turn of police guns learn to dive.
May be the guns which like to dive have been good friends with marine animals and refuse to return to the police station.

To Nail The Lie Of BeEnd
Overpaid Is Not Corruption
Besides fruit trees, there were two antique cars displayed at Jasin Selandar Farm. The cars reminded
me of an old joke on Volkswagen.
The owner of a Volkswagen was very surprised when he discovered his vehicle's engine was missing. He called a mechanic to repair his car. The mechanic opened the rear cover of the Volkswagen. The owner whispered to himself, "Luckily Volkswagen is different with Malaysia TUDM jet."
There is a one way road going up Fraser Hill. Apart from that there is another one way road getting down Fraser Hill.
In case you are going to Fraser Hill from Kuala Kubu Baru, you will arrive at the junction going up Fraser Hill. On the other hand if you are traveling from Raub or Bentong, you will reach the junction getting down Fraser Hill.
Visitors to Fraser Hill should follow the rule to avoid accident.
There were many cars queuing at the junction going up Fraser Hill when we arrived there. We were told that there was an upgrading work ongoing at the road getting down Fraser Hill.
I took some photos at the foothill while waiting for the gate to be opened.
Located at north-eastern of Volendam, Marken Island originally was a small fishing island. With the rapid growth of tourism, Marken Island has turned into a popular tourist destination.
Apart from marine products, Netherlands traditional costume and unique wooden houses are truly attractive to the visitors of Marken Island. The green field and crystal clear sea of Marken Island are also amazing to the tourists from all over the world.
In case you stay overnight at Volendam, you can go to Marken Island by an express boat. This location is the jetty of express boat. The man with sun glasses is the employee of the express ferry company.
The return ticket to Marken Island from Volendam is 8 Euro for adult and 4.5 Euro for child. Not certain 6.75 Euro is for what. May be it's the fee for single trip.
We stayed at Crystal Hotel during the blackout night at Bentong. Crystal Hotel is located at Bentong town centre and near Bentong Bus Terminal.
The next morning, we looked around Bentong town for breakfast. We decided to eat "Kai Ji" wanton noodles.
The coffee shop was packed with customers. I can't comment the taste of the wanton noodles because I wasn't feeling well that day.
After taking breakfast at a coffee shop, we proceeded to Bentong market nearby. Bentong market is close on Sunday. Only some stalls outside the market were doing business.
There is a Chinese primary school not far away from Bentong market. The school is SJKC Khai Mun. We were heading to SJKC Khai Mun to take photos outside the school.
Since the market is close on that day, we went to Perting New Village to buy Bentong Ginger. Besides Perting New Village, there are several other new villages.
