I was at Genting recently. Its been many years since I was there last. Other than the long trips I had during my childhood, I did have a short one night stay for a company event. Naturally I am confident enough to know what to expect. How much different can it be?
The first surprise I got was how cold it was. It was 15 Celcius in early morning and just a few degrees more the whole day through. I was not prepared, I had just brought with me short sleeve shirts and thought it would be enough. "It can't go lower than 25 degrees" I thought. Gosh, was I wrong.
Genting must be expensive. Thats not that true either. Prices here is slightly higher than in KL. Then so is every other tourist destinations. For food, I had a wide choice from food courts, fast food like KFC, Merrybrown and McDonald's to sit in restaurants. Theres even a Michelin 5 Star chef restaurant! take your pick. I chose to ate lunch at a vegetarian restaurant for only RM25 per person. I had 3 dishes, steamed rice and a pot of Chinese tea. The food was good, I enjoyed the meal.
I always wonder if I am the same person every time I go on a vacation. Maybe I am not. Could it be that I feel, sense and experience places differently every time I travel. Of course these destinations also change over time; they grow and evolve. If we change and the destinations change. Why not travel to the same place everytime.? Why fool ourselves?
