Gunung Brinchang

Left and left and futher left: Mountains of tea leaves on steep slopes where skilled workers come to pick them

Ok, today we woke up at 8 plus, I had instant noodles and Milo for breakfast. Then at 9, we waited downstairs for the guide to arrive.

He came in a van and took us up to Gunung Brinchang, the highest point of Cameron Highlands via Brinchang town. The road after the town was just 1 way but vehicles in different directions came on the road. We drove up the summit, climbed a tower with ultra narrow steps, and was greeted with a magnificent view and cool breezes.

After that, we also went to a tea factory to see how tea leaves were being processed into the tea in our cups. The workers had to dry it, grind it, heat it over hot air made from rubber wood, sieve them and then pack them into 50kg sacks where the sacks are being transported to KL to add flavourings.

And another thing is that, I got chased by the owner of the bungalow's dog. It was one of the 6. I climbed up the steep slopes and I think it sensed that I got too near their home and then chased me. I was actually told by the owner not to run if chased but, defence instincts, of course I ran.

After a while, it stopped giving chase. It was damn scary.

The bottomost pic is where Megan would not want to go to-The Peak of Gunung Brinchang where there is RADIATION.
