Cameron Highland: the ideal destination. or not.

Let's look at the general misconceptions:-

1) There's nothing much to do in Cameron Highlands. It's pretty much dead.

Depending on what is entertainment or holiday to you. Dead is the last word I would use to describe Cameron, in fact it's more "alive" than it is in the city. Nature, the greens, trees. Well, we look forward to de-stress ourselves when we go for holidays.

Like the words of Frank Lloyd Wright:-

Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.



2) It's expensive. Over commercialized. word.

The best things in life are free, as cliché as it sounds. Inflation only knows the way up, so it's up to us to make the best of things in life, minimizing cost, and maximizing enjoyment.

It pays to get the best, but if you're smart, it might cost a lil less. ;)

3) Genting Highlands pwns Cameron Highlands.

We don't expect everyone to have only one interest. If "birds chirping in the air" is not your cup of tea, then it might not be the right destination for you. But none can stay noisy all the time.
