At the end of the 2nd day, we arrived at Cameron Highlands at stayed in a GREAT apartment with 3 bathrooms, 1 kitchen, a living room with Astrovision, 3 bedroom and most importantly..RUNNING WATER!...Our shoes are in the balcony drying cuz before we left genting, we went to search for Victor's Taraxella which is even more elusive than yuanting's spiders. Anyway, it just meant that out driver deposited us by the side of the road near Awana hotel altitude. Then, armed with our da gou bang ('dog beating stick') and umbrellas, me, the guys and Prof Li went down the super slippery drain to enter the stream...wet feet whole day....PRUNED FEET... EEEYUCKS.....anyway, Victor had the bright idea of buying newspapers to stuff our shoes with so that they will dry faster. And it's true....by the next morning, my shoes was much much drier...but as it turns out...it would get wet again all too soon. The white stocking like things are actually the leech socks that we koped from the lab....Essentially, aesthetics were abandoned while we were in msia.
