Visitors from Taiwan - Day 4 & 5
On 26th October Morning, We brought our Taiwanese friends to Genting Highlands, the only legal land based casino in Malaysia along with my cousins. My uncle and his friends followed my sister and her husband in one car went to Genting first. My youngest sister and I followed my fifth uncle with his family in other car to Genting. So our plan was met each other at Genting.

When reached Genting, we did not met them because the places that we wanted to go were different. So, we had our own fun and they have their own fun. My little cousins were very happy with the cold weather in the morning.
We had our breakfast at Mcdonalds' Restaurant because it was more convenient for the children. Then, my younger sister went to buy theme park tickets since we have 3 vouchers of buy 2 free 1 for all theme park ticket.
It still early after we finish our breakfast, we went outside to take a walk and waited for the theme park to open. At 9.00 AM, outdoor theme park opened. My little cousins felt very excited when we went into the theme park.
Once we get into the theme park, we started to line up and take a ride because there were not much people yet.

We almost had all kind of rides in the theme park except for the rides which the children could not play and some speeding rides which I could not take it. Then my elder sister called us to tell us they were leaving Genting because my uncle and his friends wanted to go last shopping at Kuala Lumpur. So, they left Genting went back to Kuala Lumpur and we continued our rides at Genting.

For lunch, we had our buffet lunch at First World Hotel's restaurant. Then, my fifth uncle and his family went to Snow World to enjoy the man-make winter. My little cousins were very happy when they saw the snow on the ground. Since my younger sister and I went in before, so we waited them outside.

Around 5.00 PM, we went to outdoor theme park again to take a ride of monorail around Genting indoor and outdoor theme park as an end of our Genting trip. After the ride, we left Genting and headed back to Kuala Lumpur. My little cousins were very tired but they said they wanted to come again.
Around 7.30 PM, we reached Kuala Lumpur and had our dinner outside before we went back to house. That night I slept very deeply because I was too tired.
On 27th October Morning, my uncle sent his friends to KLIA to take a flight back to Taiwan. So, this was the end of their Malaysia trip.

Visitors From Taiwan - Day 3
On 25th October Morning, I bought my uncle and his friends went to eat ' Bak Kut Teh (Pork Rib Tea Soup) ', one of the famous foods in Malaysia as breakfast at ' Grandpa Bak Kut Teh Restaurant ', Taman Paramount. I also ordered ' Chinese Style Vinegar Pork Leg '. They said ' Bak Kut Teh ' was very delicious.
After breakfast, We went back to meet with my sister, then departed to Batu Caves, the sacred place for the Hindu's in Malaysia.
When we reached Batu Caves, my uncle and his friends went to climb 272 steps to the religious and magnificent Batu Caves. Because I was afraid of height, I just took some photo on the ground with my sister and waited for them to come down.
Batu Caves
During climb up to Batu Caves, there were a lots of monkeys along the staircase. As an advice, do not go near the monkeys; do not hold small purse or wallet which look like food package in hand; do not give foods to the monkeys.
When I was taking photo near the staircase, I saw an Indian lady gave half of coconut to a male monkey at the staircase. In the clip of eyes, the monkey took the lady's purse and sat on the handle of the staircase, then starting to bite the purse. The lady could not do anything, just look at the monkey biting her purse. Luckily, the guard of Batu Caves threw another coconut to that monkey so that it can threw away the purse to catch the coconut. At last, the lady got back her purse.

After took some photos, my sister and I still have some time to spend, we went to have our tea break at one of the Indian vegetarian restaurant at Batu Caves. I ordered a roti canai and teh tarik and my sister ordered Indian vegetarian rice.
