To Ipoh

After Genting we took a bus from First World Bus Terminal to Ipoh. Rm 25 per pax. Claim to be the first bus with massage chair but the massage chair does not work at all. better call it the first bus with rocking chair cos it does rocks.after 3 hours journey reached ipoh.

Travel advice is when in Ipoh never ever call malay taxis cos they really cut throat people. From Gopeng to Fair Park hotel they want to charge RM 15. Met a family of ipoh people on the same bus so they radioed call a taxi for us which costs only Rm 8.

Stayed at Fair Park Hotel..nice ...cosy ... hotel at RM 79 per night complete facilities like mini fridge, tea and coffee making facilities... free internet at the lobby...




Went to send son's car back to Kuching.. very stressful experience indeed cos met a towkay who wants to earn money only but very poor management.. imagine sent the car to him, he checked ok.. then we left , went back to hotel, checked out, then on the way to KL , suddenly receive a phone call from his office ask me to give him the original car registration card...... what the heck????.. ask me to ask the bus driver to stop the bus and wait for him to come to get it....
that is only one part...... the worst is yet to come.......

so when in KL we went here...KTM all the way to Port Klang to met the agent to pass hime the original car registration card..... with thoughts coming up like..what if they sold off my car.. who is the agent in Kuching etc etc..can these people be trusted.....




Reached Port Klang at 11am and waited for the agent till 2pm...3 hours of waiting.. still never mind.. the worst thing is after that he told us that all the things in the cars need to be taken out ...can only sent an empty car...OMG... those are heavy books... clothes...bags etc etc ..If like that tell us early then we would have make other arrangement for the luggages in Ipoh.. and all this while my friernds, colleagues, realtives have been sending cars back with all the luggage inside.....moreover how to bring those luggage from Port Klang to KL? Feel really helpless at that time!! After lots of telephone call to that towkay in Ipoh he promised to ffot the bill of sending the luggage by a different ship..OMG... the story does not end there......

To destress we went to Tambun Lost World In Sunway city to soak our worries away....
